Day 4

Hola todos! I wonder how long I'll continue to make daily updates? Perhaps I am spoiling you all. There will come a day when I will not be able to write, but don't worry, my beloved readers (all three of you), I will catch you up the next day. Now, let's get started with today's travel tip:

Travel Tip #2:
When in Spain, do NOT touch another person's dog. For god's sake, DO NOT TOUCH ANOTHER PERSON'S DOG.



So. Here we are, day four. I finally got a cell phone. If you want, contact me via facebook and I will give you the number. I don't know if you really want to call me that badly, though. I'm pretty sure it'll cost you an arm and maybe, depending on how long we chat, one of your legs as well.

So there really isn't much to say about yesterday. I woke up really late, at about 11. I ate breakfast and then left to go on another walk. I came back for lunch and after siesta, met up with a couple of girls to go shopping. The Spanish perspective of Americans is based solely on what they see on tv and movies, so it's all very glorified and romantic and completely false. As such, you see a lot of American cartoon characters and tv show references and hear american music just about anywhere you go. Which brings me to the point of me telling you all this, which is that, while we were shopping, we saw a few screen shirts with messages written in English that were nothing short of hilarious. The translated were so terrible, I had to take pictures. I will post them to facebook, but unfortunately, no one seems to appreciate translation mistakes as much I do. Oh well.

So after shopping and buying a phone, I went home to try and eat dinner with my señora, because yesterday when I came home, she had already eaten. After dinner, we watched a bit of the Spanish version of American idol, which would have been cooler if they hadn't been singing american songs. Then she switched it over to a telenovela, which is a Spanish soap opera. This was extremely difficult to follow, simply because there are about 8,537 main characters in soap operas and I can't even follow the plots in english soap operas. It was exhausting my brain and I went to bed around 11:30 (or 23:30 here in espana).

Today, I had to go to class. I had a tour of the university, admired some Spanish hotties from afar, then took a placement exam. After that, we went home for lunch and here I am. I think I'm going out for tapas y vino tonight, which is the Spanish version of fast food. La comics rapida.

I apologize that this entry wasn't as thrilling, but we shall speak again tomorrow.

Y recuerden ustedes:
