Bienvenido...

...a BARCELONA

Finally I'm here, in one of the most awesome cities Europe has to offer.
Can't wait to explore, get to know new people, places, la cultura y más importante: learn spanish!

1. Fin de Semana (weekend)

To check-in online was no help at all, cause the queue of the germanwings counter at 6am was endless. When it was nearly time for boarding and I was close to freakout, one nice assistante called for passengers flying to Barcelona and we were allowed to skip the queue.

Flying to Barcelona and finding my new home was quite easy. The new neighborhood is clean and quiet.
My room mates are simply awesome:
Katja: german, 30years, lives in Barca since 5 years
Alejandro: peruvian, 30years, lives in Barca since 7 years
They're really helpful, show me around, explain everything to me AND  the best thing: cook for me! :)

The flat is small but neat. Got everything you need (incl. whirlpool) Except that the window of the living room is broken that way its always quite chilliy inside. But I'm positive that it won't last longer than 2-3 more weeks that the temperatures will go up...and I don't need 3 blankets to sleep with anymore^^

Lunch: Tapas
Against the cold: dancing lessons (salsa, merengue and bachata) in the living room for more than 2 hours.
And since Iam almost a pro now in latino-dances Alejandro wants to take me out at the same night, after work...at 2am! (That's when they usually go out) But I need to refuse because I'm just too tired. But I promise to join the next day...

....What I did! Staying awake until 1am is not as easy as I thought, especially if you don't have any entertainment but listening to salsa-latino-music to get into the mood.

So we went out at 2am and ended up in a typical latin-club where only locals go to...and I. :)
And if I have learned something that night than it's the word: la cadera - hip. And that I will never be able to move it like the chicas latinas :(



Lazy - Sunny - Sunday

Sleep in til 3pm! Went downtown to have some coffee with my roommate, went back, dinner, movie
