... i hear some of you say. OK OK you´re right, but there was so much going on ...
Well, let´s start!
On july 2nd I went to see the 2nd concert of U2 in Camp Nou Stadium and it was amazing again! I hope that they will make a DVD of that. It is a really really good Show! This time I went with my flatmate Antonio, I gave him the ticket as a gift as he is leaving soon. He was really happy and stunning because of the amazing show! We had a lot of fun!
On Wednesday (july 08th) he left. He will now live and work in Mexico. The Goodbye was really hard for all of us. But now he is quite happy in his City and I am really happy that he found something he likes a lot!
On July 09th we have posted the first advertisement for the room we had available.
And on Saturday (july 11th) our new flatmate Sonia moved in! She is from New York, USA and studies Archeology. She is really nice and quiet She already acclimatized in the flat. Now we are looking for a substitute for Gina, as she is leaving on September 12th to be with her Antonio. The advertisement is already posted and there are already people asking. But there are many weird questions people can ask...
For example one girl asked me if I will give her a discount for being a girl. Another asked if the window was for real or if it was just a painting... Crazy, crazy... Up to now we haven´t found the right person, but we still got plenty of time...
My friends (Alejandra and Jose) finally came back from there Ecuador-vacation and we went to the beach on the weekend. We went to Vilanova i la Geltru a very nice beach on the coast. At night we have played Singstar on the Playstation. We dedicated nearly every song to Michael Jackson and Jose tried to sing with Michael Jackson voice and won nearly every song. It was sooo funny!
My colleague from work gave me a ticket for the Madonna-concert on july 21st.
The Diva made us wait for about 30-45 minutes and then nearly the whole concert was Playback and she went away after about 2 hours without any additional songs. That sucks. If I had to pay the 75€ for the ticket I would have been really angry.
Because after the show there was no metro, Gina was so kind to pick me up at Plaza Espanya by car. There started the worst day of my life...
At first there was so much traffic that we came home late. At home there was no parking space, so we had to park the car on the sidewalk. and we decided that Gina will use the car in the morning to go to work because otherwise she would have slept just about 2 hours.
In the morning she knocks on my door and tells me that the car was towed away. We had to go to the Hospital Vall D´Hebron to catch it. Had to pay 200€ for that. Wanted to pay by credit card, but the lady told me that it is not possible that there is something wrong with my credit card. Well, Gina paid for me, so that we could go on to work. She dropped me off at the bank, so that I can find out what happened with my credit card. Of course the system in the bank didn´t work so that I had to come back the next day. Came to work 1 hour late. Then my lunch was foul (spaghetti with spinach). After work I just wanted to go home and sleep. This was the worst day of my life...
But as it was just one day, it wasn´t that bad.
On Friday (july 24th) I went out to watch a movie. We went by car to Gran Via 2, a shopping mall with cinemas. Went there with Sonia and Alejandra to watch the new Harry Potter. After the film I gave a lift to Alejandra and then we went home. I already get around quite good with my car. On Saturday we went to another Shopping mall with Gina to buy her a new Suitcase, again by car so that I learn the routes (she said). It was really funny! An advantage is that my parents showed me how to park backwards. This is essential in this city. If you can´t park backwards, you´re lost!!! My flatmates were really impressed... ;o)
Right now we have a Heatwave. It is freaking hot in this city! And it seems as if this will last a while... Can´t wait for the rain, we would need a bit!
Tomorrow I have to go to the Technical Inspection Agency to get my car checked. Hope I can remember all the vocabulary and really hope they do it in spanish, not in catalan...
Well I tell you later!
Adeu
