The dark side of the Moomins

Don't have time to read through the whole article. But just wanted to point out that there are also Moomin cartoons which have really politically uncorrect stories: like Moomins travelling to spain, trying to buy opium but eating some weird drugs instead and then staring for sea for a week and missing their fligth back.

To be fair, that's an uncannily accurate prediction of many visitors' experiences when visiting Ibiza

"Waiter, four marijuanas" - they end up scoring LBJ pills instead as marijuana was so last season.

For Spaniards, Ibiza was and it's seen as a place for electronic music, posh-background hippies and psychodelics.
