No water...

Puerto Rico is a developed country, if I'd have to tell you I'd say it belongs to the first world, it is almost a state of the United States of America, it is unofficially called the 51 state. Their streets are full of places that remind you the presence of big companies from the states, the roads crowded with big cars which use a lot of gas. Everybody has a cellphone, most of them an iPod and most of times are using it, even while they drive.
If you are a male young and cool puertorican you would probably wear a pair of air Jordan sneakers, if you are female you have probably spent the afternoon at the Plaza de las Americas Mall shopping.
This mall is the biggest in the Caribbean zone and if you can not see anyone in the streets is because they are there, 40 restaurants, loads of shops, cinemas, everything you could need. It is like our Parque Principado mall but 10 or 15 times bigger.
Well, I am gonna focus now after this, what I was going to say is that this looks like a regular first world country BUT behind all that modern and cool front the country has some caracteristics which I would say are more common in a second or third world country.
For instance right now I do not have tape water at home, I don't and anybody in 3 big areas of San Juan have either.
So right now and it's been like 10 hours so far, there are like 1 million people without running water at home.
In my way home this afternoon I stop by the supermarket to buy some stuff and people were talking about the water problem, some of them said last time it happened they had not had water for 2 days!!!
Besides this water problems, last Tuesday Esther the other intern in the Spanish Trade Office left San Juan and flew to Spain, her year at the caribbean is over and the office is so quiet right now, we said bye her on Monday, Batey was open again after almost 2 months and Casa de España arranged a party to welcome the new Spanish consul so we took advantage of those things and say Esther bye while drinking some wines, cubalibres and chichaitos in both places.((If you read this I want the pictures!!))
Tomorrow her "replacement" will arrive, I hope he takes a good shower at home before he leaves Spain.........
