Las Fallas en Valencia
kind of sponteneously I went to Valencia for las fallas last weekend. all the trains were booked, so take the bus, dude :-P
fiesta was great, cool fireworks, and some of las fallas were really nicey done. a tad noisy though and unfortunately I didn't get to explore Valencia and the surroundings really... well, maybe next time ;) but met a few nice peeps along the way and I sure know now where to get a good mojito :-D

CCCB numero 2 - buen hetcho!
second time in the CCCB ( Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona ). was just as good as the last time I visited with J. in 2009 (los quinquis).
this pic here is from the exhibition about "triest". incredible how they managed to create a feeling like you're there really... sitting in that bar, background noises, windmachines... buen hetcho!
apart from that, am still feeling effing well here! :-D the drinks yesterday in that gay bar were cool, good time, ey ;) Wham, Jimmy Summerville...
and for the visit last night here the appropriate music:

scepticism and pitifulness
but who is what.... ;)
great night with C. and her mates from college. although some tell her BF's that they are just going to spend the night in the hostel (yeah right).
Had a yummi Cardenal Mendoza (I think have to pay her back tomorrow, hehe). and now back to sleep... we'll see what the next night brings, jeje
and yes, even the tutors are cool! :-D
currently listening to "heroes de silencio - entre dos tierras"

First 5 weeks in Barca
jeje, who'd have though that it would be that busy... apart from the friendly welcome weather wise (needed to buy after sun lotion the first weekend) I also enjoyed work. no rocket science, but due to the workload challenging enough. I like :)
met a good few new cool and nice people. discovered a latino restaurant where they have fabulous frijoles (beans). yummie... went to Germany for my moms 70th birthday. discovered Barca a bit more. went clubbing twice (until 7 o clock each, and one was a feckin mad night with the 3 M's). spend a good bit of money for new clothes - it's a rewarding feeling when an attractive 22 year old calls you "v. attractive" :-D - god loves italian designers, outlets and sales/rebajas, hehe
currently listening to: Skunk Anansie - Brazen

First weekend in Barcelona / El primero finde en Barca
from having a welcome lunch with M. to hiking near Santa Coloma to eating yummie sushi to sitting in the sun and getting a bit tanned to dipping my feet into the Mediterranean to visiting an exhibition with photos from Bruno Serrolongue to meeting a cool chilenan guy (who is my even cooler flatmates BF)... all in all I walked maybe 20 k, and am now looking forward to having my first day at work tomorrow...
linkie to all pics
a song I heard last Thur in the Oval during a kind of surreal, weird, great and confusing encounter...

The taxi driver and his 25 Euros tip
the picture you see here really originates to the headline... it was the last drink we had in that one Bar in Gracia/Barcelona (with M.+M) after a good few cavas, rums and of course tapas...
the pic shows "just" a regular G+T really... just a "tiny" bit more Gin than expected... anyway... the taxidriver bringing me home (me being somewhat intoxicated) sensed that I needed a lift to the airport the next day... so I gave him my number and said I'd be ready by 6 o clock.
.
snore
.
sleep (4 hours)
.
waking up to my telephone ringing at 10 past six then was, well, sobering. 5 more missed calls from the driver too... anyhow, without this persistent pakistanian bloke I deffo would have missed the plane, or, how M. told me "make a Gustavo". so the 25 euros tip were well deserved me thinks...
it's the second time in my life I would have missed a flight if not for the taxi man... the first time was in Sevilla in 2007. I guess it's the spanish air...
oh, and with the weather being great and stunningly looking women around you I think I am doing the right thing, jeje
not really currently listening to that song here, but M. sent it to me today. subject line: "Klausis - Memories of your time here..." not sure what he meant with that now ;)
reminds me, leaving party today in Birchalls - in case you want to pop along. :)
