Mood Determined By the Weather


Looking out my window today I cannot help smile, mostly because it is sunny and relatively warm outside. It is hard to not notice the amazing fact that when the weather changes so does the people’s attitudes. For example, 2 weeks ago I found myself at the beach with a couple of friends while having a drink and we were not the only ones to have this brilliant idea since it seems like every Malageno wanted to enjoy the nice weather at the beach. People were laughing, enjoying themselves outside and were just happy to not be stuck inside the house anymore. Not only are young people out and about but also older crowds accompanied by a lot of children who are eager to play in the sand with their friends.
Normally when it rains in Malaga, everything in the city slows down and gets more gloomy. Especially the transportation system, mostly because they are not very used to driving in the rain, the bus usually arrives 20 to 25 minutes after the intended time. Once on the bus, the mood seems to be a homogeneous type of sadness and fatigue almost caused by the weather that surrounds them. Some people love rain and gray weather while others love the sun and the warmth of the sun. both of which are quite justified in their preference regarding the weather. This distinction of weather preference does not seem to exist in Malaga. The attitudes are either black or white and there are usually no shades of gray to express the feeling.
Hopefully the sun will keep on shining on Malaga and the people keep enjoying their beautiful city and take advantage of everything that surrounds them.
