Destination: Spain

A patriotic essay

Since Tiffany has begun to fill up the journal before I could even notice, I think I must hurry up and put in my grain of sand, with the angelical intention and objective to get more views, more comments, and generally smash her down on the dirt. My ... Read more >

So It Finally Comes To Blogging *sigh*

Sun, 9 Mar 2008 | By chocula | Views [596]

And so it finally comes to blogging... Certain events have spiralled to this point. Foremost my incredible laziness, secondly my incredible lapse of sense as I left the bus in Granda, sans one of my bags. So now I am laptop-less and, of course, the back ... Read more >

Hi friends, We have been in Barcelona for only about a week, but surprisingly, France feels like a long time ago and Santa Barbarba is a happy but somewhat distant memory. I'm still in that newly-arrived zone where the differences connected to this new ... Read more >

I've been in Spain for one month today. Living in Madrid, with my senora, trying to learn the language. I've learned a lot, but of course, nothing has been like I had imagined. So far, I can name the things I will miss about Spain when I leave: ... Read more >

Sun, 2 Mar 2008 | By celine_in_barcelona | Views [3899] | Comments [3]

Ik begin nu langzamerhand de spaanse gewoontes hier te begrijpen, (maar ik snap het alleen nog niet). Laten we beginnen met vreemd: Elke morgen ontbijt ik met een kommetje cruesli en melk. niet zo vreemd toch? behalve dat ik veel moeite moet doen ... Read more >

Sidreria

Sat, 1 Mar 2008 | By matsmith | Views [1757]

Going to Sidreria's is always fun so when Jess came to visit we took her and her friends to a very traditional one! The new cider was ready and the food was very basic - cod omelette, then cod, then HUGE steak, and then cheese with 'Membrillo' (its ... Read more >

The one where I was heading to one town and ended up in a completely different one.

I can see that this blog is a bigger commitment than I first thought, especially when you run the risk of typing out a whole story and then when you go to upload, the page has timed out. This happened to me a couple of days ago and I was so pissed off ... Read more >

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 [1486]

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 >
