Running of the bulls in Pampolona, and why I´m not going
I can´t go every place, and wasn´t even considering going to Pampolona. But as about three quarters of my last two hostels were heading there, I figured I´d tell you all why I´m not going.
1. I don´t have time, and I´ve already spent enough time in Spain.
2. This is my main reason. I think the whole bullfight is cruel, and the running part sounds insane. I know people who are running, and this one guy is like, ï´m gonna die. Sounds like fun being gored by a bull. Hopefully Tan is okay because he is a pretty rad guy. But the idea of bullfighting...it´s totally torturous and so many bulls are murdered daily in these bullfights. People who are opposed say you have to go just to see it, and I know people who have cried, but I refuse to support that. And after the bulls are run, there are bullfights, and I don´t agree with it. All my fellow hostelers are sleeping in the park, and I hope things are well for them. But for me, I´m not going to watch the running of the bulls.
I´m going to Brussels to eat chocolate and then to Amsterdam to chill out.
