It's been one month since I arrived in Spain and let me tell you, it has been one hell of a roller coaster. I have experienced so much and I look forward to experiencing a lot more. This has been my first time going out of the country and I am very glad that I am out, but it has not been as easy as I thought it would be. I really thought that I would be able to get by easily with the Spanish that I knew back from high school, which I'm not ...

... friends home! This former artist´s club is located in a 17th century townhouse in the heart of the old town and it literally boosts with history! Back in the 19th century it was the summer residence of "Eugenia de Montijo" (Empress and wife of Napoleon III) and "Ferdinand de Lesseps" (architect of the Suez Canal)! The absolutely perfect renovation and divine interior of this landmark townhouse make you fall back in time ...

Malaga oh Malaga. Today we met some locals through an intercabio at a Indian style cafe and it was pretty neat. I am realizing how little Spanish I know and how fast the Spaniards talk. So far I like my classes. We stay in the same room while three different teachers come in throughout the day. The biggest shock about Spain for me was that people ...

... with the teachers!
So, I´m going to talk to the Delgation of Education in Málaga on Monday to complain and see if they can help me. Hopefully it will be worked out because the first two days were just miserable! Everyone else that I have talked to have schools that are very involved and nice. I am the first auxiliar that my school has had and it is not good. But, as I said, things aren´t all bad! Málaga is great!
On Friday I did go into ...

... and 5 blocks or so from the train station. Young people living there, although I didn’t get a super friendly vibe from the guy who showed me the place - though I did get a smile out of him when I asked him if he played soccer. The place was a little dirty and without internet connections, but it is cheap!

2. My favorite of the four. Right on the beach – and it isn’t the most fabulous beach ever, but it is clean and on the Mediterranean ...

... ah Dia" or something like that is the only one I can repeat here since I know polite people are reading this. The woman in the Mercedes wasn´t budging still after about five minutes of this. You'd think a giant bus on your butt and other people honking would give you a clue but this woman was oblivious to everyone. I noticed people getting out of their cars and on cue people on the bus started getting up, too.

Pühapäev kulges seal oma aeglases ja tšillivas tempos, kus kellelgi polnud kiiret (tegelikult hispaanlastel vist polegi kunagi kiire), inimesed istusid kohvikus, jalutasid rannas või lugesid pargis raamatut. Selline mõnus puhkepäevane äraolemine.

Huvitav oli see, et Marbellasse nii sisse- kui väljasõites tuli tasuda kiirteemaks: sisse 6€, välja 4€ :)

... the hand rail in front of us so we wouldn't spill into the aisle. Once at the airport we sat down to eat some breakfast, thinking the authentic "American" pancakes might taste a little like home but they were disappointingly as you might expect: English and cooked in an airport.
The cool London weather didn't exactly prepare us for the temperature shock we received in southern Spain. First observation about Spain: while classified as a ...

'...Woza!' It certainly was a big surprise and while things have calmed down a lot I still don't think it has sunk in yet for the old gel. She's off somewhere right now telling more neighbours. But as with most things I nearly cocked the whole thing up. First off I missed the bus from Malaga this morning. Traffic. The taxi driver spoke broken baby English, and as we raced through the ...
