Ah Madrid... definitely some interesting sites there. My fondest memory would have to be getting grabbed by a hooker who resembled an even less attractive Snookie and having to drag her down the street until she eventually let go.

Stayed at Luis XV at Esquina A Gran Via, thats where the hookers are at if you're interested. Of course one of my friends got wasted and got a hooker and they dragged him into a shady building with the meanest looking guy waiting outside. I waited outside just to make sure he didn't get killed...he didn't, just his wallet cleaned out.

This is one of the biggest night life zones with tons of people out, have fun and just explore this area, there are tons of bars and a TGIF Fridays that has free refills (hey, you start to miss free refills), if you get home sick.

I could go on a rant of the famous architecture sites to see, if you are interested, that's what I "studied"

The ride from the airport was really interesting, mainly for the radio. I remember them playing Bon Jovi and even Sweet Home Alabama, they would start the song and then about 20 secs in they would have a conversation over top of it like nothing was on.

Good time, fun place, extremely hot.

Use common sense. Carry smart enough amounts of euro's, have a fully charged cell and don't be the typical American jackass. Latina's love the gringos who can dance and chat them up.

Very hard NOT to have fun in Madrid.

Go the caves and drink your fill of Sangria

"Whiskeria" is the term for brothel

Go to Benidorm this summer (beach)

A pack of "American" cigarettes will cover most cover charges into any club

The night life really gets hopping around 11pm till 4am - so combat nap in the afternoon.

Three people I know very well have been there.

1. My ex gf: She went around 4 years ago and had a bad trip from the start. She was pick pocketed on the rail system and within 1 hour her credit cards were maxed out and ended up losing around $400 in cash.

She said it was a nice place to visit and see the sights but obviously getting robbed on the first day ruined her trip. She was only there a week.

2. A guy I went to HS with went there and had mixed feelings. He, too, was pickpocketed...but caught the guy in action and grabbed the dude and laid him out. He was able to get his stuff back from the guy. No joke. He said it was a cool place but kinda felt like Americans were targeted there, he also told me if I ever go there to wear a chain wallet and don't wear a bunch of graphic t-shirts like a lot of americans wear b/c thats how you are targeted by thieves. This was like 3 years ago. He was there visiting his sister.

3. One of my homeboys went there to study abroad and loved it. He is real artsy and doesn't get fuged up as much as a lot of my friends. He made some friends that he still talks to. He got to go to like Morrocco and Greece while he was there, and also saw a couple Real madrid games. This was like 3 years ago.

      So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.

      My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
