I'm not going to write much, because during this month I'm trying to use as lease English (or any language other than Spanish, for that matter) as possible.
Barcellona is great. I'm living with a Spanish chica and two chicos, who are all very relaxed and friendly. My room is cosy and lovely, as is the flat, so I'm happy with the housing solution I found. I've also adapted to Spanish times again like in Valencia... finishing lunches at 4pm, and dinners at 11pm ;)
Every (week) morning, from 9am to 1pm, I go to a Spanish school with 8 other students in the class. I'm learning a lot obviously and it's a nice way to meet other people; I find however they move a bit slowly through the content so I'm investing in some private lessons a few times a week.
I'm very pleasantly surprised at how much I can understand and make my way through long conversations. It definately is confusing as I expected, in the sense that when you're talking Spanish (half guessed based on Italian) to a Frenchie, in the company of English speakers... it's common to not notice the change in languages, or respond to someone in another language! Very interesting and fun.
Also, I've had Mary over lately, she's "couch-surfing" with me for 6 days. We had a fun weekend which included some beaching, a very relaxed pool barbecue with about 20 people at a beach town just out of Barça, and a massive free music festival at the Montjuic park, situated on a small hill in the city along with a castle, museum and other charming things.
Y ahora me voy, hasta luego :)
