@L*o
You in Barna now? Damn I could do with a few days at Torredembarra. Can we be down?
Holla St*ve, Been here for about a month. Living with a friend while I get settled into work, bit of a headache sorting out Social Security stuff but the teaching is going well. Fuck me booze is cheap here. Scotch seems to be a little cheaper than back home, bourbon is the same price as in America (they sell my fav Blantons!), wine is dirt cheap and I'm becoming a rum convert. Last night was drinking the best mojito I've ever had while the barman explained why he adds fresh basil & rosemary to gin (who knew - anyone else had this?). Talking bollocks in a little square all night (it's already warm enough to do so in a t-shirt) with friends and then walking home at 6am.
Food is very good.
The city is amazing. Very beautiful... people here seem to be obsessed with design and the aesthetic value of everything from tattoos to floor tiles.
The women are incredibly hot.
My biggest challenge will be learning Spanish.
Teaching work is well paid here. The cost of living is cheap. I can get by on 18-20 hours of work a week, use spare time for Spanish, music production, writing or whatever. Part of me wishes I'd made the move sooner, but I wasn't to know, and now I'm glad to be doing something that's challenging but enjoyable.
Once I have got myself a place I'll welcome visitors. At present I can't put anyone up, but will let you know as soon as that changes.
Anyway, I'll leave it there for now; "resaca" ("hangover" in Spanish).
Oh, congrats Citeh. Held their nerve well, shame for Liverpool but next season should be great. Bring on the cup final!
