CAMPEONES CAMPEONES OE OE OE !!!!!!!! TRIPLETE!!!!


Once more, some news from me!!

There were so many things happening in the last couple of days, I don´t know where to start...

After the really amazing soccer-game on may 03rd the people were already crazy. So the thing was to be champion of the spanish premier-league. It didn´t work in the first of the last three games (Barças result was tie, but Madrid lost), but in the second one. Even though they lost their game, Madrid lost as well and so mathematically it was not possible for Madrid to be champion. A lot of Party around the City.

Yesterday evening was the Final of the Champions-League!

FC BARCELONA - MANCHESTER UNITED

The City was full of fans. At Maremagnum, the Rambla, in Camp Nou and the Mini-Estadi were huge screens for public viewing. Amazing Atmosphere!!!!!!!
Never in my life I have expierenced a crazyness for soccer like this, but it is really awesome. When Barça won this titel as well, it was like absolute crazyness...
People celebrating, chanting in the streets, cars with a lot of people driving around the centre with flags hanging out of the windows.
Today there will be a huge celebration when the team comes back from Rome, to welcome them with the cup!
On Saturday is the last game of the season!

The slogan of the FC Barcelona is really true: mes que un club (more than a club!)

So, that´s it for now from Soccer...

Well there are not so many things happening. Finally the sun came to us and there are about 30°C every day, but as I have to work I can´t really enjoy it.
Then my Grandmother and my Uncle visited me here in Barcelona. They stayed for a week, but unfortunately I couldn´t get days off, so that they had to do sightseeing on their own. But after worke and on the weekend I joined them to do something or to have dinner together, and on the weekend was were happened a lot of stuff...

Once we were leaving the metro and we noticed that my grandma wasn´t there. She stayed in the train and my uncle and I had left. So we waited for the next train, to see if she had got out on the next stop to reunite and to go to the fountain of Plaza Espanya. She was, and so we could go on.
Then on the way back from the Fountain we went to the metro and wanted to have dinner. But a really ugly and agressive guy robbed my uncle´s purse, so that we had to go to the police office and as well to the german consulate to get him a passport for the flight back home.

Adventure, adventure...
But it was really great having visitors from Germany here. That doesn´t happen really often...

On Friday (may 22nd) we went out again. This time we weren´t that many and we couldn´t enter to the disco that we wanted, but there is a substitute on every corner.
So we went to "Catwalk" to dance, sing and have fun. My colleagues were really enjoying. But then happend a little accident. One of my colleagues burnt me with his cigarette in my face near the eye. Luckily it was not in the eye! It´s already better, and there are worse things in life!

On Friday I get another visit! Val is coming over for a long weekend! Then there will be new stuff for sure!!!

Tell you then!

Adeu!

Olelee Olalaa Futbol Club Barcelonaaaaaaaa!!!!!!


Hola!
So now something new from me! Lately I post quite often, but there are many things happening!!!

My Dad was here for a week around Easter! We went to see the City, Soccer-Games and Montserrat. It was really great! I could show him my favourite places and where I live and where I work. Enjoyed it a lot!

On Saturday (April 25th) I went to the concert of Fito Paez with my flatmate Gina. Fito Paez is a so called "Cantautor", well a singer/songwriter from Argentina. It was a really good concert. Just his voice and a piano or a guitar. Also we were so close to the stage, we could almost touch him. A familiar environment.

Then on Tuesday (April 28th) I started with my second Catalan-course. Level B2 is equal to Basics 2. The levels B1-B3 are offered for free from the government. You just have to buy the Books which is about 10€, well quite cheap I think. This time I don´t pay anything, as my friends gave me the book as a gift for my birthday (on april 19th). I like that a lot! The new people that are with us in class are all supernice. Many Italians, but also Spanish, people from South America as well as 2 Chinese girls. Funny guys!

On Friday I had a day off. This is like in Germany. The 1st of May is Labour-Day and therefore holiday!!! We are fortunate that the weather is quite nice (some thunderstorms, but sunny nearly all day long!) so we can go for a walk at the beach or around the city. Really really nice!

Yesterday (May 2nd) was the day of the Soccer-Derby: Real Madrid - FC Barcelona. The whole City was really excited to that. All day long you could see people in the shirt of Barça. Even the Rambla was closed for cars, so that the people could watch the game in public viewing there. I went to Martorell to watch the game with my friends in there flat. It was really amazing! And of course won Barça:

MADRID 2 - BARÇA 6

It was a really good game, with good players like Messi and Thierry Henry. Piqué scored goal number 6 which was the 100th goal in game 34, a record!
The City was celebrating really hard! My friends and I we went in their car to the City Center to see the celebration. It was really crazy, just like they had already won the championships.
I am really looking forward to the celebrations when Barça wins the 3 titels (Champion of the spanish-premier league, the spanish cup and the champions league) I think this will be one week of Celebration!!!!

Well, I will tell you that then...

Adeu!
