¡Que Guay!

Que guay = this is awesome for you Yankee folk. Here I will attempt to recount the many hilarious, absurd, awkward, and interesting things that I encounter during my semester abroad.

I'm Bad at This.

While I've been saying that I'm going to catch up for the last three weeks, apparently this has proven to be a task too daunting for me.  In the meantime, I'm much better at putting up pictures, which tell my story as good, if not better, than I can (especially considering that I haven't really told my story much).  Therefore I offer you my photos, which should keep you interested for a bit.  Each link is to a different album, and they're in chronological order.

It's the Little Moments:

  • The world is really not that big: I sat next to a girl on the train who had been the Spanish resident for Whitman and knew some of my friends!
  • Hot water means a lot more to you when you hear the furnace light every time you turn on the faucet
  • Friday at noon here feels like Sunday at 10AM at home
  • I saw a guy on the metro yesterday that had a Sony Walkman, cassette tapes and all.
  • Have I mentioned that I love zapateros?
  • I wear ear plugs to bed because the timer on my heater is so loud
  • Toilet paper squares are bigger here
  • Official meeting spot for a run: in front of the Royal Palace.
  • Towel attained. Don't worry Spain, I wouldn't do that to you.
  • Rebajas = month-long Black Friday everywhere. Whoa
  • All little kids in Spain look like they jumped out of a black and white movie.
  • The metro might be the greatest thing ever. Or Skype... hmm
  • Gossip Girl is even more dramatic when dubbed over in Spanish
  • The four most common phrases here: vale (okay), claro (of course), que guay (cool!), and no pasa nada (so many meanings...)
  • I can buy coffee at no less than 20 places within my block, but how hard is it to buy a towel?
  • I live at Vallehermoso 7, not 9. And no matter how hard I try, my key will not work at Vallehermoso 9.
  • We have to weigh our own fruit here at the grocery store
  • There are four languages on my tube of toothpaste and none of them is English.
