I suppose a better title for this story would be 'Tales from Málaga' but it wouldn't be as interesting as the current title (and let's be honest, suck you into clicking on the link) and it also wouldn't describe what I did while in Málaga. Yep, I drank.... Read more >

My tobillo is killing me!

Sat, 23 Feb 2008 | By bronhinton | Views [1558]

I have learnt many Spanish words in the last month, but by far the ones that I use most are 'gracias' and 'tobillo'.  Clearly, I use gracias about a hundred times a day: when the hostel has found a spare bed for me, when the old man at the shop gives ... Read more >

Sorry, but I can't understand what you say when you speak American.

I like Spain. I like the people, the language, the food (obviously the cheese), the scenery and the fast trains. Spain is great. But what is it with all of the American students?! The American tourists I don't mind, but the American students drive me ... Read more >

Shrinkage and a Supercilious Frenchman: The Trials of Hostel Life

Thu, 14 Feb 2008 | By bronhinton | Views [1178] | Comments [2]

The hostel I have been staying at in Madrid has been quite good.   The breakfasts are awesome, though incredibly carb-laden.   I eat a lot of toast and cereal and I leave the dodgy looking ‘breakfast cakes’ to the Europeans.   The beds are quite ... Read more >

Daytrippin'

Thu, 14 Feb 2008 | By bronhinton | Views [1278]

Hm, long time, no blog. I'd like to say it was because I was incredibly busy immersing myself in the awesomeness of Madrid, and it's true - I was. However, laziness was the reason why I haven't written in a while and I can already forsee this problem ... Read more >
