Spain Life スペイン生活

Currently I am in Spain, in a town called Sitges 30 minutes from Barcelona. Spain as I imagined is a place of fine wine, nice food and Spanish an attractive language spoken by a not so bad looking population.
 I quiet enjoy spain and the beach lifestyle I have adopted.Though at the beginning it wasn't easy adjusting to their way of life.

俺は今スペインに住んでます!バルセロナから車で30分の距離。スペインは思っていた通りワインも、食事も、天候も、良くそしてきれいな言葉で話すきれいな人たち。

The biggest difference is just the day to day time table, it might be attractive to some but not quiet my cup of tea. They wake up on average like most of the world and start the day fairly "normal". But once the clock hits 1pm shops start closing and the city becomes a ghost town. They all disappear and take "siestas" and close from often around 1-5 depending on the shop or the day. They say in Spain never call someone between those times as it is considered rude to interrupt someone as they might be sleeping. Then they go back to work for a few more hours and then the night life begins.
You can't find an authentic Spanish restaurant before 9. Spanish people eat earliest at 9.  A friend of mine made a dinner resevation at 11.30...say whaaat? Lucky for me i love food so i ate 2 dinners as i often eat around 7. And naturally as its hard to sleep after a full meal they stay up until 2am only to wake up around 7-8 the next day.
Does that day to day sound attractive to you?? I'm not a fan of naps and many of my friends are zombies if they dont have 9 or more hours sleep. Could you do that?? After several months in Japan i know Im prefer a busier lifestyle.

これは始めてスペインアドベンチャーって言う事なのでいっぱい新しい経験をできた!
まず一番違う事は一日のスケジュールです。まあぁ昼間まであんまり変わらなけど、いきなり一時から五時までシエスタがあります。店とか全部しまります。一時から五時の間には何もできないよー。スペインではその時間帯他の人に電話かけたら迷惑らしっす。おっかししょう。。?
それでみんな昼寝したから晩飯9時から。。。おっかししょう。。??一回俺の友達が晩飯の予約が11.30時だったよ〜。。。ありえないと思ったけど本当にみんなその時間食べるから予約しなきゃいけない。。。
それで二時ぐらい寝てまた次の日同じ繰り返しです。。。
日本人ってこういう人生りかいできる?
