No lo entiendo
y
No lo entiendo.
Throughout my adventures here in Spain I have learned a lot about myself, a lot about this country, and much more about my sister. I have an interesting insight on this place where I´ve been living for a couple weeks now and I´d like to share all of my findings with you.
I have noticed that if you are over the age of fifty and are a woman you must sport a fur coat to your ankles at all times while walking the streets of Madrid.
I have learned that the Fable of Arachne is not actually about a spider.
I had already known the whole driving on the wrong side of the road thing in England, but it still in fact blew my mind and got me in a bit of trouble a few times.
I have learned that my sister approaches life a whole lot differently than I, and it amazes me we are of the same blood when she describes to me her goals in life.
In Madrid, it is apparently unheard of to have cops not holding the leash of a ferocious side dog with a cage around it´s face, which is apparently suppose to make people feel at ease but it just made me that much more nervous about the kind of pain that dog was probably able to inflict on innocent bystanders.
I have learned to never talk to mormons who are trying to evangelize you about what comes in the afterlife.
I now know what it feels like to be the only one in a room of thirty to not be able to laugh at the apparently very funny story.
I have learned that when inebriated in a foreign country you try your best to fit in by speaking the languagebut in the end just appear looking like more of an asshole screaming "PERDON" at people on the metro.
I learned that banana candy is a great chaser for free tequila shots.
I now know I am not the type of person who would be able to study abroad in another country, which only makes me that much more proud of Sam then I already was.
I think California should have a metro system, they are extremely convenient considering I was able to get around by myself y yo hablo solo un paquito espanol.(and I speak only a little spanish)
I became reinspired to paint after seeing the amazingly beautiful masterpieces at the Reina´Sofia as close as I did. (Like Guernica by Picasso!)
I found that when one is trying to be conservative you will usually end up appearing even more um...how shall we say this,provacative.
I have come to be an outstanding tetris player.
I don´t think there is anything more funny in this world then a drunk spanish girl who doesn´t speak a word of english sing along with Gangsta´s Paradise. (wayne you would have died)
I saw allie´s twin on the metro, and it made me think that we all must have twins out there somewhere in this world considering how damn huge it is.
I know I officially hate Indian food. Officially.
There is way less Harry Potter Mania in London then expected and it was extremely disappointing.
Jamoñ Serrano is disgusting and I don´t care if it´s our last name I am very upset with Sam for tricking me into eating it.
I learned Sam wasn´t lying when she says Spanish girls suck at sports, she really is like the shit out here.
I have learned that Spanish men are extremely friendly, and assume lassoing you with a scarf to ring you in is an okay thing to do.
This whole dos besos thing is exhausting, having to kiss everyone when you see them on both cheeks. It takes about ten minutes to get around the room once you enter. We had to kiss some dude that just gave us directions, this country is way to affectionate.
There are no excessively obese people in Madrid, none. probably because of Metro fitness, those stairs can be a bitch.
Okay that´s enough I know there is more but we are going to La Mordida again for dinner and I gotta shower.
It's Nick and I two years today. Love you nicholas. See you monday. |

sam and i left Madrid with a bit of trouble from the start, to early to catch the metro, we were forced to take other forms of transportation that sam was not as familiar with, like buses, taxies, and asking spanish boys to simply guide us there. we barely made our flight but all turned out.
Liverpool:
Long day of travel getting to the airport, two and half hour flight, one and half hour bus ride to victoria coach station to get on a four and half hour bus ride to get into liverpool. what a boring journey that was not even being able to sit next to sam due to an overcrowded bus.
When sam and i arrived in liverpool, we had to walk to our hostel which took about twenty minutes but it was a hard journey. I will never complain about madrid being cold again, england was about two degrees outside and i was not dressed well enough for it.
That night sam and i ate greek food and went to a pub where I was recommended this german beer by the bartender. it was awful tasting, but sam and i had a good time talking to the bartenders.
Our one day in liverpool we decided to devote solely to the beatles. Only natuarlly we went to the beatles story museum which was really amazing, almost brought to tears i tell you. we then used my spectacular navigation skills to find the cavern, the famous venue that started it all. unfortuantely the amazing historical site has been torn down and replaced by a mall, the location of where the cavern exactly was is a cafe called "lucy in the sky", not to clever if you ask me. All around the mall there are about three replica bars imitating the original bar so sam and i took our cheesy tourist photos in front of those.
Our hostel in liverpool was really nice, but its a rather slow time of year over there and we were the only ones in our room of seven beds.
London:
So I have to explain to you what an amazing miracle took place in my booking of our hostel. Not knowing the exact location of freddies house only the fact that it was in london, i looked up just curiously in an internet cafe how close our hosel was to its location to see if we could take a bus there. Turns out my one and only love in this world lived and died in an estate around the corner from our hostel. We walked there in three minutes!! miracle i tell you, the place from the outside is nothing you would bat an eye . its barracaded by a very large wall and the only indication that freddie lived there is carved all over the large wooden door. For sams video and for a picture I will always cherish, i stripped off my shirt and stood there in the freezing weather in front of that door.
Enough about freddie, I also did the normal tourist shit you do in england as well, like buckingham palace, trafalgar square, portobello road ( so much fun), piccadelly circus, big ben, westminster abbey, and a whole lot more. All the historical buildings were magnifecently beautiful, I have never seen anything like that and won't ever in America mostly because we are much to new of a country for anything to contain so much history. On saturday night sam and I went and saw the comedy musical Spamalot based off Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It was hilarious, and its definately going to make some people back home pretty jealous.
Sam decided to base her video around the english music scene, which worked out nicely because a lot of what we did revolved all different aspects of music. We had the musical theatre and the historical bands that came out of england but sam really wanted to see what was going on in the underground london scene and see its comparisons to the one in america. We went to a venue/bar called The Dublin Castle. The first band was very charismatic and had lots of energy for what was a relatively small crowd. The second and third bands were the one's sam was able to interview after the show. One was a group called The Fountains, they were cool, kind of a funky soul kind of vibe. The chick singer was really sweet and the guitar player was hysterical. The Getaway Team was a band of five guys, not really my style but they had nice harmony. they were, on the other hand, really nice to talk too and took the interview very seriously which was entertaining.
This is getting way too long so I want to finish off by making all the other harry potter fans out there jealous and say I went to plaform 9 3/4!!!
buenas noches. |

New years in spain was absolutely insane. It felt a lot like time square would be in new york, you know with the ball dropping and everything except ive never been to new york at new years but thats how id imagine it would be. The tradition here in spain is to eat 12 grapes when midnight strikes, one for every month for good luck. I was slightly inebriated at the time and only got about seven of those squishy grapes down my throat, I tried to just pour them all into my mouth to get them all in the minute. Yea that didn't work, grape juice all over me and in my eye, that hurt bad. I was then molested by spanish boys trying to wipe there sleeves on my face. Sam beat them off, screaming "she doesn't need your help" in spanish. I cleaned myself off and then the celebration continued. There were extremely large dance circles that sam's roomate Aris and I were the champs of, lots of fireworks, wigs and masks everywhere, and people blowing up shit on every turn. The night ended with sam and I walking lost around Madrid because we missed the last metro home. After about an hour of walking we ventured on to an empty night bus that dropped us off in close proximity to sam's piso. I hope everyone in the mainland had an exciting adventure of a night as I did here, and that you are all safe. Its only about six in the morning there so no one will read this for awhile but good day to you all.
hope all went well sister, it was good talking to you last night.
I leave for england tomorrow!! |

Today Sam and I are going to Retiro Park. It sounds really nice, a lot like central park of New York. Last night was pretty rad even though I was completely exhausted. This time difference is going to take some adjusting. We went to this little restaurant at like 10pm and were there until 1:30am (normal dinner times for these spaniards). It was a friend of sam's named Cynthia's birthday. She was so nice, and apparently held some power becuase not one of the fifteen odd people that showed up did not have a wig on. I highly doubt I could convince that much people to go out looking like fools on my behalf.
After dinner ended the group was going out to a night club to dance till the sun rises. I did not have it in me so Sam and I headed our own direction back home on a different metro train. On the way to the metro, we saw a young man peeing in a corner inside the station. No wonder it smells so awful in that place. Please strike end. When we got to where we needed to be for our train to pick us up,across the way there was a large group of extremely drunk sixteen year olds trying to spread the holiday cheer and attemting to sing the Fanta girl song. It was hilarious because they really just ended up screaming the word Fanta over and over again at a young boy who looked petrified.
Tonight is another birthday party, this one is for a guy named Borja. I don't think I will end up as lucky this time because pretty much everyone spoke english last night so I could actually communicate but tonight it is a lot of rugby players and originally born spaniards. I am going to be so lost. I thought I would remember more spanish once I heard it, completely false. I am so fucking lost. But its okay I just observe the world around me and try to absorb it all.
oh and p.s. this whole everyobdy smokes in spain is really starting to wear on me. I mean everywhere people are smoking. Everywhere! cough cough. No me gustan.
Everyone Sam says HI. |

Los Angeles to New York was about six hours. I slept and tried to learn spanish phrases.
Lay over in New York was six hours. I ate some food, slept, and than read some Sedaris.
New York to Madrid was six and a half hours. I watched stardust and read some more Sedaris.
It is 27 degrees farenheit here in Madrid (that is below freezing) and the Metro trains are filled with crap and smell like feet because the sanitary workers here are on strike.
That felt like the longest day of travel anyone could ever endure, probably because I barely slept on my flights and just watched in envy as the man next to me lay knocked out against the window. But all is well, I am here now and my sister's piso is very welcoming. I have met her roomate Aris, a really energetic girl that keeps referring to me as "hippie" and her dad who came to visit her for the holidays and is looking to fly home early. That makes me nervous.
Surprisingly all has gone pretty smoothly, the only retarded move I've made is waste five euros trying to make a phone call. But I guess I had to learn some how. I guess we are going out tonight for one of sam's roomates birthdays and everyone is going to wear wigs.
Well i think its way early in the morning over there in California, its only two in the afternoon and I got a long night ahead of me. Thank you nick for driving me to the airport yesterday morning and sorry brandy and christy for dragging you to that awful movie my last night in town. We should have done something way more exciting.
Adios. |

-i missed the tilly and the wall show and then no one used my ticket. i was sad. but then nick bought me a t-shirt. im a goldigger.
-it feels like i swallowed a steak knife or something. it really hurts.
-so on saturday night at my work these stupid kids ran out on a $50 dollar check and then this huge fight broke out in the front of the restaurant and racist comments were passed. it was nuts. yuto and dillian were there to see it. they visited on a really good night.
-laguna art festival in 5 hours im really excited. even though i think viewing amazing art is going to depress me on the suckiness of my AP portfolio (i just recently received my grade on)
