I was walking through the metro today on my way home when all of a sudden; “Bombs Over Baghdad” came on my mp3 player. It was right then that I realized as much as I feel like I’m starting to fit in just a little bit more here, I’m still American as can be.
There I was:
Sneakers
Baseball Hat
Sweatshirt
“Bombs Over Baghdad” in my ears
Smiling
None of which would any real Spaniard wear/ listen to or do on the Metro.
But I’m okay with that.
You know, I love Spanish and Spain. But I’ll smile if I want to.
Why be so depressed all the time, and this goes to everyone not just Spaniards. It only makes other people wish that they weren’t there too. On that note, I convinced Molly that we really need to talk to people other than each other. So we’re going out tonight. It’s Brazilian Party night tonight at a Club called Mojito up on Passeig de Gracia. Way up.
I’ll deal. Practically all the BCA kids are meeting up at the Diagonal Metro stop to head on over, and there’s no cover. So what’s the harm??
(Just an aside word wants “there’s in the line before this to be “there be” and I think that that’s hilarious)
That’s about it, I’ll let you know how it goes tomorrow.
New Word of the Day: Sius-plau- Por Favor- Please
That’s Catalá- Lluis is teaching us a few words here and there, and I just saw a sign in the metro for free classes offered by the Gov. So I’ll be looking into that.
Why not, you know?
A whenever-I-get-around-to-it account of my travels in Barcelona and the rest of Spain and Europe. Including pictures, experiences and random happenings during my time abroad.
