Malaga, Spain

I have lived in Cairo, Egypt and in Malaga, Spain when I was a little kid. I have gone back to Cairo many times because my dad works there right now. It is extremely different down there than here in America. First there are absolutely no rules for driving, no speed limits or traffic lights and no stop signs, you can do whatever you want. Another thing is that all the cops are on foot, none have cars, which I think is very uneffective and this is the reason why people do whatever they want because if they have a car then no cop can catch them. In Spain and other European countries I have noticed that people are much friendlier and open. People are allot more lively in Europe and are outside more than people in the USA, even if it's really late at night people are still out side doing things like if it were the middle of the day. There are also lots of really old buildings from the Roman times in Europe which have very intricate details and are amazing to anyone who goes and see them. If I had to choose either to live in the US or in another country, I would say I like Europe the best and would rather live there than here. Europe is allot calmer and people have a slower pace life than here, which I like and think is the best way to live.

This cathedral is one of the most valuable Renaissance buildings of Spain. It began construction in 1528 and wasn't completed until 1782 and was constructed by Diego de Siloe. Inside the church are huge marble columns and the front doors have intricate art work of the patron saints of Malaga. The cathedral is not completely built and some people think it should just be left alone, others say that lots of moisture is getting into the unfinished part and it needs to be completed.
