“If I’m here, what I think is that I must get up”

Luciana Cassinellialso known as @Luciana.Cassinelli In the social network Tiktok, it is A young influencer of origin Peruvian who is currently living in Spain, more specifically in the capital of the Autonomous Community of Catalonia, Barcelona. In addition, he assures that, at the professional level, he is dedicated to the world of pastry. As for the typology of the contents that it shares, you can see publications that have to do with small personal reflections, with their profession or with the experience of a Latin American living in a country other than yours.

As for the video that now concerns, Luciana has thrown out that “Living in Barcelona without respecting their culture is incoherent”. In the description of this testimony, it specifies that “The minimum is respect”and this has been something that has given him the possibility of having felt “As at home”. As soon as I start with reflection, he records herself while offering some context about the time she has been in the city.

“Many people in Catalonia speak badly of Catalan culture”

“I am Peruvian, I have been living here for almost four years and I want to tell you my experience”starts while explaining that there are a lot “People in Catalonia who speak badly of Catalan culture”. Luciana is the case of a foreigner who has tried to integrate from the first moment learning the language and doing free courses. His intention has been, mainly, to integrate from the first moment. “It’s not that they are telling me to stay, but I am here because I want and effort”reason.

It happens that his sentimental partner is of Catalan origin, which has made his stay there more. Being listening so much Catalan by her boyfriend, she was much easier to learn it, in her own words. Subsequently, he returns to the main theme and states that “Lately it happens to me that, in many places, the people around me, obviously foreigners or people out of here, speak supermal of Catalonia and I am going on inside”.

“I don’t think about this way. Nothing bad has never happened to the Catalans,”

The problem, according to Luciana, is that the people who come from outside do not do for understanding Catalan customs. “You can’t come and complain about how some people speak in a city that is their city”he says while many people criticize them by saying that “They are very closed and that they do not want to speak Spanish or, directly, that if you talk to them in Spanish they bother”. This is something that is very far from reality, or at least in the case of this young Peruvian. “Personally, one of these situations has never happened to me”reveals.

The video has uploaded only two days, so in recent weeks, when it has made its plans in many places and very different, “They have spoken badly about Catalonia”. In fact, as so many cases were given and so repeated in a short period of time, this ended with its patience and He ended up throwing the anger to someone who did not know To say those negative things of the entire community.

“I see it very clear. If you are going to live in another city or another country, you adapt”

“He started talking badly about the Catalans, that there are no opportunities here, that everything is political here, that here they are derogatory, closed … and I bothered.”he explains. The truth is that he qualifies himself as a very peaceful person who does not like to enter any type of conflict. In addition, it is not characterized by constantly offering your opinion. However, this time he did not contain himself and said the following:

“I said: if you are in a city, the minimum you can do is Learn a little of your culture or, at least, understand it. I am not asking you to speak it “said. The boy’s answer was that no one had welcomed him, and Luciana replied that he had been the one who chose to live there. Then, the friends with whom they were seen that the discussion could go to adults and quickly changed the subject.

To conclude with his testimony, this Latin American insists on his idea: “I see it very clear. If you are going to live in another city or another country, you adapt to the culture you are going. In addition, Catalan is not difficult, it is very similar to Spanish”addresses. Finally, he explains that she has felt at home and that everyone has been there to help her when she needed it.
