I don’t even have a chance to share tips about Linux installation on my IBM X60. I lost it at Madrid Barajas International Airport two weeks ago, the laptop is bought at August last year.

Actually, I don’t really know if my laptop is stolen or I just forgot it at some where. After more then 15 hours flight and carry a big coat. I were really fucking tired, and were not aware of my shoulder bag is gone. Especially I were hurry on the way to hotel. (I don’t know why my companion is always so rash. :-/)

When I finger out that my laptop is gone, I were on the Metro from Airport to Madrid downtown. We spent 4 hours on shuttle bus, Metro and “Lost and found office” for nothing. We have no luck.

Asian tourist is not safe in Madrid, which is the reason I believe my laptop was stolen. Asian always carry cash and passport to anywhere, it’s very easy become a outstanding target for thief.

After I lost my laptop 1 week later, I met another thief at the Metro. The guy who talked to me in some kind of language I don’t understand, and he try to pick my wallet at same time. I saw what he did, and I pushed him away. He started to abuse me in Spanish,but I don’t understand what he is talking about. Once he finger out I don’t understand, he started to give me the middle finger and obscene gestures. And I return him the ‘F’ word. He left as soon as the train stop at next station.

The local people on the same train are cold and detached, they just sit there and saw it happened. After that, I am super careful when I am alone in Spain.

I think the problem is the new Latin American immigrants, the economy of Spain is growing. That attract a lot of immigrants come to Spain, legal or illegal. The legal ones help Spain on his economy, and the others are creating social problems. According to the Guardian Weekly‘s Spain is the new world (《衛報》週評：西班牙成為拉丁美洲移民新天堂), the immigrants is more than 10% of the population in Madrid, which changed Spanish society.
