On Valentines Day of 2006 I left Spain on a plane... 
And after having a 5 hour catch up session and lunch with Joey in the Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam,
then 6 hours of entertain-myself time in the Kuala Lumpur Airport in Malaysia,
not to mention the 26 others of actually being on the 3 different planes...
I finally (Could I accentuate that word ( Read more... )

For one short night in Salamanca, it snowed.

And for someone who has never actually seen the snow falling before in her life, 
it was nothing less than
pure magic...

So Ana, Sacha and I made the most of it!

We went out last night to a local bar on Gran Vía called Ubalinda for a good bye party because two of the girls at the residence are leaving for Ireland and one girl for England, to learn english for half a year. We had sangría on barra libre all night, (which means as much as you want until its all gone) and every other drink cost 2,50 euros each ( Read more... )

Here are some photos of Salamanca. They don´t come close to capturing the beauty of this city, but at least there´s something to feast your eyes on.

Yesterday morning, I had the fright of my life.

I remember hearing my alarm clock go off at 7am, turning it off with a grunt, then getting up from my bed.
Then black.
The next thing I know, I am freezing to the bone and there is a pain in my head so bad that words could never describe the extent of the agony I felt. I couldn´t remember where I was, ( Read more... )

The spanish señora called Adoración that I was going to live with picked me up from the bus station on Sunday afternoon and she drove me to her house. My first impression of the city was that it was very small, especially after Madrid, but it was ( Read more... )

Christmas has come and gone again for another year.. and I spent the festive season with my Israeli brother Ari in Valencia.

I met Ari last year in Barcelona, when we were studying at Enforex and living in the same apartment. He is 25 years old (or in his 26th year of life as he puts it), and has lived a life that ressembles more of a movie script ( Read more... )

The thing is, I have a double room. That means two beds.
And I´m supposed to share the room with another student. Lucky for me, there hasn´t been anybody to share it with...so I´ve had, and still have, this spacious room all for myself.
I don´t know why I didn´t think of it before, but I realised at 4am this morning while in my almost insomniac state ( Read more... )
