the one with figueres

Yeah well another 2 weeks have gone by and i havn't posted any pictures but i will though definately. But a recap of my two weeks, firstly i got my travel bug on and started booking flights to all these places im gonna go to mallorca next week, and during may i'm going to Amsterdam!!!!! Que guay! Yeah so thats been a hit on my hip pocket but thats what i planed to do anyway. What else i've also been doing my assignments which has been super slow and stupid, and i've also done alot of uni work so far so it has been quite tiresome i guess. But still lovin the place, i went around barrio gothic last night, its different when its all dark and gloom and you don't know where you're going its such a rush at times which is really fun actually.

Oh yeah um i went to figueres where Slavidor Dali grew up you know the guy with the moustache that defied gravity...personaly i don't like art, i went to the picaso museum before and was real bored there. But this one was a total trip it felt like a fun house sorta because he had such a realy wacky imagination and his art work were really out there like its hard to describe. Like what else would you expect from someone who made the painting you know with the droopy clocks. Yeah but that was fun going outta town and being only 15 minutes away from France.
VEry happy i guess is what im saying, still loving it 2 months on i feel more comfortable with my skin, walking around pushing the trolley and being very active in all that i do. But yeah this has been a great experience and it looks like its gonna hit overdrive in the next few days so this is gonna be reall fun.
Well HAsta Luego

the great rival

Well this week includes fun and excitement, this week i watched the barcelona vs real madrid match where this guy got Ko'd for being a Real fan. That was pretty weird cuz the barca side of me was like sucked in but the human side was like ehh thats taking it too far. Well me and the Ausgang has been kickin up dust and raising hell in Barcelona during the week. We found this place where you can buy beers for 1.5 euros and the bar tender being such a lovely lady gave us a free beer everytime we bought a beer, and everytime we ate chips.
Also i went to this abandon theatre outside of barcelona in a town called san boi where we saw this band which rocked the house, it was pretty cool seeing some actual real spain like a nice glimpse of what spanish people really do. This is because i feel barca though is fanatstic in all its rights is still a major city and being like that you do loose some of your identity. So it was refreshing 2 weeks in a row seeing what spain can really be like. I did feel like an outsider but when i was there i felt like a reasercher sort of like seeing how kids actually spend their time, and like being an omnipitent person. But i did have fun great atmosphere in that abandoned theatre loved it

well gotta bounce

the hectic week that was

Hey kids, another adventure with yours truly. Well well where to start, i took alot of pictures at first as you can see below. The other australians came last week and like it was a ball having them around. Okay week started slow, did homework go to school etc. etc. Come friday, which is when my weekend starts cuz i don't have school on, we went to park guell and it was pretty, nice place with many nice features.
Come the nite time was when it picked up, the beer bar where you can pour your own beers, its so fun like you can play all your beer games there or drinking games. which we did and yeah you know what happens when you play those games. But the night was not over oh no, i had to go to another party with dillon to one of my friends raph whos not there, but mehh i can't b bothered posting a pic of him, maybe some other day. Afterwards a club and thats when i had to hot pot.
But yeah come morning no hang over and was ready for a new day well slept full of energy and going to a club called razzamatazz which has 5 rooms of excitement, pop energy trance, house and rock it was excellent. lotsa dancing lotsa smoking, no i didn't smoke, but yeah it was great. Later that night when it was over, nick had the idea of watching the sunrise, so we did in barcelona beach at selva del mar, as you can see one of the images of barca that'll stick to my mind forever.
Oh adventure not over, we decided to check out the barcelona marathon after, so we went to plaza espanya found out wat was crackin there and yeah it was a trip and a half seeing ppl run, well maybe because i've had no sleep for the past i dunno 18 hours which will increase as the time went on which it did as we tried to search for this day club and eventually found it. after 3 hours of searching we found it outside of town, but it was a 25 euro entry so me and oliva decided not to but nick the determined person he is went in and we met him at sitges, oh we could of stoped there but we had to go to another town outside of barcelona
As you can see its totally different from barca, no hi rise, not much smog, very medeteranian feel to it i guess, swam in the beach got salt all over me, why didn't anyone tell me it was salty. Okay i guess when nick met up with us we hit the final wall and no amount of V can help us. We got home like 430, i went to bed at 7 because i wanted a long sleep which i got.
NOw im here 15 hours worth of sleep, after being awake for 28 hours. not going to do this next weekend thats for sure
Well have fun looking at my pictures
