Since 1990 the Japanese economy has slowed down. It is known as the lost decade, or lost Two Decades/ 20 years (initally people hoped it would be over after 10 years), where the GDP and real wages have dropped.

Spain's climate is not homogeneous. Across the Iberian Peninsula there are several different climate zones. Between the latitude 36° and 46° N along the Spanish east coast, there is usually the Mediterranean climate with which Spain is most often associated, but this part is also affected by the mountainous inland and the Atlantic from the west. Therefore, there may be harsher, snowier winters, mainly inland but also near the coast. In the southernmost part of the Spanish mainland, there is a dry subtropical climate, especially in the regions of Almeria and Murcia.  

Spain's diverse orography, as well as the geographical location of the country, at latitudes in the middle of the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere, means that the country has a great local variation in climate. There are places with pleasant temperatures, around 15 ° C, and others where the temperature exceeds 40 ° C, especially in the summer, and places where the rainfall does not exceed 150 mm, and others that measure more than 2500 mm annually.
