I really like it here in Cádiz!

3 (almost 4) weeks at the school have now passed by. I really like this school, I learn the things that I didn't in Mallorca because it was going to fast there, and now I feel more confident with my spanish. Here in Cádiz it also feels like we're talking more about things outside the classroom since half of the classes is conversation and we can speak about anything. We learn about each other, the spanish culture and we are forced to speak since we the last couple of weeks only been 2-3 students in the class. So be in school 4 hours a day is amazing and during the break we normally sit outside in the sun and having some fruit. I really like it here but since there aren't so many people here I've been missing my boyfriend, friends and family even more than before. 

Last week the summer arrived to Cádiz and we've had between 30 and 39 degrees every day! I have been to Spain before, 7 times, in the middle of summer and winter but never experienced this heat before. Not even in Thailand or Venezuela I thought the heat was like this, but it might be because the ocean here is freezing so there is now way to cool down when you're at the beach. A couple of days it has also been no wind which makes 39 degrees very hard to be in.... I love the heat and I think it's amazing, but sometimes it is too hot in the sun, even for me! Yesterday we went to Sancti Petri in Chiclana and the ocean there was warmer, so i went for the first swim and it was amazing to cool down!

So this passed weeks I've been going out for lunch or dinner a few times with people from the school, I've been to the beach at least 8 times, been to a place called San Fernando and Bahía Sur to go shopping for a whole day two weekends ago when there was raining (apparently people from Cádiz never have seen so much rain here at the same time before, it was crazy!) and also been to Jerez de la Frontera to go to the famous La Feria en Andalucia! Yesterday when we went to Sancti Petri I went kayaking and I also tried go on a banana boat for the first time! I've enjoyed everything and I'm really looking forward to the following weeks!

Spanish in the most beautiful language in the world and I'm so happy I'm learning it!

From Bershka

Bershka, one of my favorites shops here in Spain (and has been for a couple of years). They are not amazingly big and therefor they don't have so much clothes, but normally I find something that I like everytime I'm in Spain. Here are two things I found in Mallorca, the last week there. A nice summer dress and a tanktop with fringes. The best part with Bershka is that it's cheap but with good quality!


Movies here in Spain

Here in Spain it's hard to watch TV or go to the cinema if you don't speak spanish. In the cinema here it's most likely english subtitle, but if you're used to watch movies in their original language it'll just be horrible to hear another language and voice all the time. I normally go to the cinema a lot back home, at least one time a month, and I'm actually starting to miss it a lot, especially since there seems to be so many great movies on now! I'm really happy that there was a cinema in Mallorca which showed movies in the original language and that we went to see The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel! The movie was really great! Right now I so wish there was a cinema like that here in Cádiz, I want it even more now when there are not so many people in school... I would want to see The Hunger Games, Mirror Mirror and The Vow, all of them seem to be absolutely amazing!

But with the beach not too far away I should not complain at all. But who wants to go to the beach when it's raining....? Well I don't, I want to be home in bed or the sofa with a blanket and watch a great movie. I will definitely watch a lot of movies when I get home, movie nights with friends, boyfriend and family are amazing. I knew that before, but with not being able to do it for a while, you realize even more what you appreciate the most!

The lovely summer dresses

With around 20 degrees everyday here in Cádiz it's about time to put on some summerclothes. Especially since we're getting up to 30 degrees during the following week... Shorts, skirts, cute tops and of course, all the amazing summer dresses! Here are my favorites right now!

How to please someone

How to please a woman:
Love her, die for her, take her to dinner,
miss the game for her,
buy her jewelry and be intrested in what she has to say.

How to please a man:
Show up naked and bring beer.

One week

I needed this week to get used to the new place, school and apartment.

I am now in Cádiz, in the south part of Spain. A nice, very small city with a port. I like it here, it's like nothing I've seen before and I still havn't seen much of the city to be honest. I like my apartment that I'm sharing with other people. Usually it's supposed to be with other people from school but in my apartment no one from school lives except me. School is very different from the one in Mallorca and much better. Here the teacher is focusing on what the students need to learn, not a book, and even if they barely speak any english at all they still manage to explain all the words so that we can understand.

So far I've been to the beach twice, having dinner with people from school, going out for tapas and with school last week we went to a market. Today it's the 1st of May and here in Spain (as in Sweden) everyone is off work. The difference here though is that no stores, no supermarkets or anything except resturantes are open.

I hope both the city and school has much to offer and even though I like that everything is calm (I really needed that during my first week to settle down a bit) I feel that something needs to happen now. I have some plans for the rest of the week and then there is only one week left til my mum gets here and only a few days later dad will too. It feels weird that I havn't seen them since february and now they will be here in no time. I'm really looking forward to it!

Here is my new home




On my way...

When you are reading this I'm on my way to a new location in Spain. I'm looking forward to all the new adventures, the new school and people. I know a lot more spanish now than I did when I first got to Mallorca in february, but I hope to learn sooo much more!

International House in Palma was way different than I thought it would be. In their brochure they had written down things that I was really looking forward to, but it turned out that what was in the brochure was not what the school offered which made me really disappointed.
What I knew was that I was doing a standard course in spanish, but when I got to Mallorca it turned out they didn't have any standard courses, only an intensive course. I really got the wrong information. I've worked hard to be able to go on this trip and it took me a year to decide where to go and all the details about it, and all my decisions, I made specificly because of the information I had gotten. Therefore i hope for a bit more of that in the school I will go to now, from start tomorrow!
Even though I got disappointed of the school I've had a great time here in Mallorca. I have visit places I hadn't been before, spent time with amazing people and been really happy because it has been springtime since february! I will come back, Mallorca has been my second home during the last year and that hasn't changed!




Wodden bracelet

When we went to Valldemossa we found some nice souvenirshops which had lots of wodden stuff, like many other places on the island. I felt like it was time for me to get something and I decided on a nice wodden bracelet with some golden pearls. What do you think about it?


My last week in Mallorca

My last weekend before leaving Mallorca turned out to be really good.
We watched the Tintin movie (which was good, I recommend it!), went to Palma Nova and Porto Pi. We had lunch in Pizza Hut one day, played some pool and bowling.
During the sunday it rained a lot, but we were lucky enough to go on the dog walk when the rain stopped for an hour! It was also lots of thunder and lightning during the day, so we ended up playing games and watch some TV series. I'm crazy about The Big Bang Theory and Hawaii 5 0, I mean how can you not be?

The last week of school here in Mallorca started a couple of days ago. They put two groups together and for me who were in the lower one it's more difficult now which I don't really like. It's already a very intense course, which I actually had no idea about when going here, and make it even harder is just not a great idea. But then again, there is a lot of things that have happened which I didn't expect at all, but I guess that's called life. Right now I feel like a need a vacation, but hopefully a change of location will be as good! :)


I will miss these beautiful mountains, that's for sure!





New tops please...

The problem with living in another country for just some time, for someone who is really into fashion, is the amount of things you can bring with you. After being in Spain for 7 weeks I feel like going home and change all the clothes to other ones since I'm a bit tired of the ones I have here. Even though I only brought things I really like, the things I would want to wear all the time normally, I feel like I need some updates in my wardrobe (or should I say bag?). Thankfully I can go shopping! Sadly I don't find as much as I would want to... but my wallet are very pleased because of that! Anyway, here are some of my favorites right now that I would be pleased to see in my own traveling wardrobe!

Valldemossa

Just the other week we went to Valldemossa for an hour. Just to see the place and walk around a bit.
It was a perfect quick tour on the first day off school during easter!
