... we wanted to check out this dance party. We walked to Banco de Espana basically in front of the huge post office and there was a tv screen you would find at a movie theater with colors and music videos going on with a DJ in front of it and dancers on all sides. It was crazy and the best part was it was all american music. We danced to love-shack, madonna, lady gaga etc. Got to join in a ton of congo lines and just danced from 1:30-3:30 in the morning. When the ...

... tome cudila, ali kad sam vidjela kakva je klima, potpuno mi je jasno. u trgovini dok cekas da platis, stojis i gledas kako prodavaci medusobno pricaju, slazu stvari i tek onda se obrate tebi (nakon nekih 10, 15min). svi smo se slozili da bi na balkanu svakog prodavaca u takvoj situaciji docekalo jedno socno j ti m :D osim toga, stvarno nitko ne govore engleski (a ako slucajno netko i progovori, lakse ti je razumjet spanjolski nego ...

... wine bar. We did get some snacks with our drinks but only chips and a plate of olives. Many of restaurants were also closed but we did find a one called 'El Rincon de Pelayo' which was very good. I should explain that many eateries have a menu of the day from which you select a first and second dish - each with 4 or 5 choices usually - and you also receive bread and wine and coffee or dessert for a set price. I had 'spaghetti al pedo di basilico' (spaghetti with basil and ...

... our way for taking up so much space with our bags, the journey to our hostel was going well until we attempted to get on our last metro line before reaching our final stop. As we boarded the metro, a group of people (who a man on the subway later identified as Bosnians) came up behind us and started pushing us from behind and one of the girls made a big scene, yelling and getting angry. The situation ...

And her name is Christa P Whitney. I spent a whirlwind 30 hours in Madrid this weekend (visiting my best friend from high school, for those of you who don't know her, in the last week of her junior year abroad), getting in at 8pm Friday night and leaving at 9am Monday morning. But boy, was it worth it! Saw a concert, ate churros for breakfast, danced until 7 in the morning with a silly pair of Spanish firemen, napped next to and swam in her pool, visited two ...

... is exactly the window of time when Erik is available to talk. In short, I can get nothing done. Lest you think that the source of my problems is that I need to talk to Erik during my small window of usable time, Amanda, my roommate, can't get much done either. The lifestyle is just unreal. I don't know how anyone gets anything done. Of course, most people don't commute an hour to work. There are more factors that make this place terrible to live in. I ...

Our second day in Madrid started out pretty good. After getting a good sleep, we were ready for the day. We ate breakfast and headed to Museo del Prado. That place is nice, but huge. We walked around a bit. It waas good we got there early because when we left, the line was huge. Just to let you know how we got there. We got off at the train station, but silly me, I left the gigantic map at breakfast. Well, I say we should go towards the trees because the ...

... buildings were beautiful. We saw the Plaza Mayor, the Palace, the Church where the Prince was married, all of the old Plazas, and a ton more. Tons of statues, churches and even the Don Quixote statue. I took a picture with the Don, pretending to high five it. I really like it here. El Palacio: the club, that is. We went clubbing yesterday, in this club that used to be a presidential palace. Its really beautiful inside, with tons of ...

... Del Sol to a big ugly rock on the Southern tip of Europe. It might have been a place to stay overnite but the currency is in ounds in that part of the land (Euro to pounds exchange rate is crapola)......So we saw the rock, wrestled with a colony of wild maraques (apes)(see photos) and made our way back onto Spanish soil. The Andalucian mountains are a mysterious sight from down on the beach. Towerinf, menacing barron hills that shoot up in jagged edges and ...

Hola Peeps So last time I was in Spain I saw a bullfight in Barcelona. Pretty brutal stuff. It didnt seem that sporting because by the time the bullfighter gets out there with the bull its already been run ragged as well as having been stabbed 30 or 40 times. Didnt really seem fair to me. So when I got here in August I wasnt really interested in seeing another bullfight. Then I heard about a newer kind of ...
