Buenas Dias
Tuesday, April 5th, 20058:57pm -Barcelona -La Rambla
Hola to all. Life in Barcelona is more then pleasant. This city lives, it breaths, it dances! It is so full of life that it´s hard to put things into words.
I´ll start by saying I started Spanish classes yesterday and they are going well. Learning a lot already, and classes are suplemented with activities…and drinking. After calss today we watched a movie in Spanish (though it was originally French). While I didn´t understand all of it, I got the general idea. Translating comedy is a bit difficult and I missed a few of the jokes, though I think the voice over actors did as well. Plus there was a big protest going on outside with a whole lot of noise…people protesting tearing down buildings to build a new metro station…sounds a lot like New York and the proposed stadium in Brooklyn.
