Here am I with some more news














Hi everybody,

I have been gone for a few days from my own blog, how irresponsible : )

Well it's not like I was sitting idle. I did a bus tour of the city, which I recommend to everybody irrelevant of your destination since it gave me an idea what to revisit again when I have more time and company. I saw Barcelona in short and brief and am planning my next adventure.

I have also been apartment shopping and there are 3 potential spots I have to recheque next week and then once that is over, then the real thing begins, job hunting and assimilating into the environment. I will try to learn Catalan so I even better understand the locals. For now I will leave you with a few more photos.

Hasta pronto

Finaly here

Well my viewers around the globe, I AM FINALLY IN EUROPE/SPAIN-BARCELONA and it feels surreal.

The trip was interesting, started with a very unexpected "bump' to business class from Toronto to Frankfurt THANK YOU A MILLION ROB=the MIRRACLE WORKER ;)) we did leave TO 2 hours late but it was worth it. I started off with a glass of bubblley and a nice snack followed by all the other goodies that flying first class gives you BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT is the ability to sleep, the seats are wide and recline almost horizontal so I had a good nap. Too bad the flight lasted 7 hours of which 2 were spent eating so in reallity I only slept 5 hours but what would have happened if I was cramed in Economy ?? Once in Frankfurt, the plane was late to BCN 1 hour. Go figure I thought Lufthansa was more efficient bit since they joined Star Alliance I think they became weaker. Anyway, all is well when it ends well, my friend Ana welcomed me to Barcelona like we were relatives and I will never forget this TU ERES AHORA CON SUSANA Y BEN mi exptended family en Spain.

So now I am writing to you from a very nice Residence @ the University of Barcelona where I will be staying for some time till I find my own place and a decent job.

Well enough blogging for now. When you do a move like this and from a house temporarely end up in a small bachelor appartment LIFE GETS A INTERESTING PROSPECTIVE : ))

I will post some photos since now I am beat and have to communicate with my family and friends here in Spain.

So HASTA LA VISTA TO ALL OF YOU AND BLOGG TO YOU SOON
