I have moved from New York to Raxo, Pontevedra, Spain, for a year. I have applied to film schools to get an MFA in the 2011-2012 school year, and in the meantime am working on film projects and exploring my history in the town where my mother was born. This blog chronicles my thoughts and experiences living in another country.

"Love" Is In The Air
Today, driving all around with family, we passed in the car: a prostitute streetwalking at a busy intersection (illegal in Spain); a brothel (legal in Spain, according to my cousin [a police officer]); and a "restaurante erotico" (yes, you translated that correctly--evidently its just what the name promises). A quick web search of the latter two yielded their respective websites, and for the former there was even a website devoted to rating and ranking all of the brothels in Spain (evidently there are 25 in Pontevedra alone, something I would never have believed just yesterday). I never remember quite how puritanical the United States is until I return to Spain.
