Rensis' European Adventure

the one where i rave about the best concert

2007-12-08T07:29:00.000+11:00

Well as you can see from the pictures below i saw the most definate mos def he is one of the best performers ive seen whilst in barcelona. But yeah i had to see him in the club where ronhaldino ruined his career, that is the club where he goes to instead of training. But yeah that was so good i raved and raved about it cuz no one knows whom im talking about here. I also went bymyself but that didn't stop me from having one of the best times ive had. Well any ways the count down is on till i come back home, but you kids in australia don't know when that is do ya :D Ahh one more trip to berlin again cuz it reaked of awseomeness and then yeah home stretch to mi casa.

The on with the most important mos def

the one where i just ramble

2007-11-03T08:26:00.001+11:00

Well girls and boys who read this im just gonna have a ramble on this. After a big night n no purpose to get up today i just realized how good i have it. But today well this weekend its all souls day, and kinda made me start thinkin bout all my mates n loved ones that i lost. But yeah i realized how long ago it has been since ive seen some of my friends who have gone, like VJ or Christan. Kinda feel guilty a lil bit that im enjoying this and they never had the chance to even taste ne of this.
But yeah just wanted to bust out something with meaning other than my usual oh man i got so wasted last night, which was the case oh it was LEgen DARy. But this isnt what i wanted to write though, so i guess i dedicate this post to all my lost bretheren my lost uncles and mi abuela, lo siento que no vi te o conici te mucho. Pero estoy seguro que estas con dios mirando a mi y mis padres.
Well yeah buenas noches o buenos dias..take it easy kids, dont worry more pictures of my escapades shall be on soon, plus my bday...suprisingly not many fotos cuz i stayed at home doing my assignment. OH thanks to JR n Ria for the pressie Mucho amo...os quiero

the one with Tomatina and Oktoberfest

2007-10-17T20:06:00.000+10:00

i know i havnt updated this in a while, im such a lazy bum but whatever so sue me. Well i had such a blast in both festivals, funny enough though it was the biggest food fight in the world tomatina was tamer than Oktoberfest. What can i say about tomatina but messy VERY messy, we decided to stay there overnight to weather the morning rush which was cool cuz we met some drum line which lead us to the place where they were gonna have the fight.

Oktoberfest was like WHOA, i love a beer or 2 but check it out its so great, never gonna go there again it was so hectic and very organized at the same time. Gotta hand it to the Germans to make something like that.

But yeah they were both equally fantastic and now back to my slow mundaine life here in barcelona where i think my voice is irrparible damaged, yeah what can you do though its the life of a student with too much time on his hands. Oh well ill see if i can update this more frequently but for now hasta luego muchachos

Well this week i saw one of the coolest bands, bloc party, they were off the hook, they hyped up the crowd well and there was lotsa jumping oh they were just awseome. Yeah it was warm as anything in there like an oven but mehh didn't care i shaved my head just for such an occasion. I even got to catch one of the bottles they threw at us. Yeah then after we went to side car to party, and partied hard we did, which then lead to going home content and hung over. But then i went to school
Oh yeah all these aussies came down to see bloc party, there was sean anna linn and jess boyd...anna linn stayed with me. But yeah what else the next day after school i went to the beach and as u can see some shinanigans happened :P
We also went to this club which was awseome and then there was like free drinks. Awseome line up of songs, ehh i got home at 9 cuz we went to like juss chill out some more. it was juss whoa the whole week was just a killer on the body, but wil get over it. Well take it easy fellow readers bye

2007-05-08T19:32:00.000+10:00

yeah well im back from amsterdam!! whoo yeh it was great, well yeah lotsa things to do there canal walking, redlight district miandering, coffee shop sitting, and yeah just plain fun. Its such a beautiful city like too bad its renowned for all the seedy things like weed and porn. But yeah i also got to visit the Ann Frank house which was surreal.
Its amazing how like when you get to places of such significance and history, its so easy to pass them up because you look at the house and its just like any ordinary house. But one of the books thats famous around the world were written there, n i got to see the whole building inside and the orignial transcripts which were kinda goosebump moment.
But yeah other than that it was good, loved the weather, loved the people, loved EVERY bit of it was awseome time to actually walk and be in another country.
Well have fun reading and lookin at pics..

Well wow what a turbulent 2 weeks jeez. Firstly i had a friend from malaga come over and spend the weekend which was really cool. Havn't seen Ally, the other one not the barcelona one, in an age. Well we just walked around found cool things, i found that great new mr T tshirt!!! i pitty the fool who doesn't recognize mr T. Yeah that was great loved every second with her made me get off my ass and explore, and i got to see the latin festival and this thing infornt of sagrada familia which you'll c in the pictures.

The other pictures are of Sant Boi which i talked about before, of my mate lucho playin at cafe it was awseome

But yeah now on to San Sebastian, what a place, i love it, got to swim in the atlantic ocean, it was COLD but yeah loved every minute in San, it was like really nice to be somewhere like where i can walk from place to place in less than 30 min. And yeah went to bilbao that was totally awseome because i got to see the gugenheim, overrated i say but im not an art fan. But what else yeah it was just awseome had some ox leg, which was oh heaven to eat. my spanish improved heaps there, it was great the whole trip was just amazing. Well next week Amsterdam, good luck getting good pictures from there :D
Happy readings, to you kids back home!!

2007-04-15T14:03:00.000+10:00

Well i guess another week has passed and one has just saw 2 gigs in one week, however due to my laziness i will only post pictures of the presets gig that i went to last sunday for easter, oh what more devout thing than seeing two people rockin the house down. I guess since i don't have family as to speak of i guess my australian friends and room mates are the closest thing i have to family, and our tradition i gues consited of seeing one of the best gigs i've ever been to, you gotta love electronic pop.
But yeah it was really fun, also going to Sant boi and seeing one of my other mates played and he was pretty good, he did this beatles song which rocked the house also afterwards we went to this chineese resteraunt and like after they gave us this REALLLlllll strong shot that it dryed my throat and kicked me in the guts, que bien.
Well here are pics of the presets, warning they're kinda fuzzy cuz they kept on movin n stuff n the light suked

the one about mallorca

2007-04-07T07:37:00.000+10:00

Well its been a while since i posted thats because i went to the lovely isla of mallorca. For those who don't know where that is its where christopher skase ran away in exile to. But i can see why he didn't want to leave, the place is great there are many pubs and bars along this strip and you can get away with english there, even the bus drivers speak english there, it was VERY weird.
But yeah other than that there were many tourists that lived, mostly english, but the sun and the medeteranian was very tempting.
Well we went and did all we could do go to not soler and all these other bordering towns where famous people once grew up in. Oh little fact did you know that Carlos Moya AND raphael Nadal are both natives of Mallorca, how cool is that. Oh and another fact Chopin one of the greatest composers of our time also lived in mallorca for a while.
It has funny cobbled stone streets in some places and it does take you back to an authentic kind of spain where things were small and like it was very wonderful experience going to that place, however i guess that is one thing i get to check off my long to do list whilst im here in western europe. oh another thing got my plane ticket to munic during oktoberfest so here i come drinkys. Big smile on my face and a beer shirt on my back.
Will keep you posted on my weeks ahead. ciao

2007-03-25T05:31:00.000+10:00

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 one with the crazy letters

2007-03-20T01:16:00.000+11:00

hey i just wanted to put this in because im typin on a crazy key board n juss wanted to show all those crazy letters they have here. okay you may see this letter ç if i ever type an enter because its close to the enter signal, or may be this one ñ because thats next to the ç. I am also a fan of ª or º because they look funny. oh and check this out ¬ and ¿!¡¡ ? yeah all very cool or guay, which is means cool things to do. I don´t expect this to have any response, well i´ll post pictures up prob on thursday cuz i got too much stuff on my plate atm, okie dokie kiddos im gonna take off. oh yeah im gonna have a recap of my week this thurs too when i have time.
Hasta luego niños

the great rival

2007-03-12T10:03:00.000+11:00

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

2007-03-05T19:59:00.000+11:00

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

2007-02-25T22:00:00.000+11:00

Well well, another week of mistchef and mayhem, i guess it was gonna be a given since im here to make hay while the sunshines. Last saturday and Tuesday i went to a town called siches outside of barcelona where they had this big street party every year. IT was REALLLYYY good, soon i shall post pics of carnival, i liked saturday better becuase it had less people, but in saying that it was still crowded like anything, like new years eve at manly becuase we were near the coast and the streets acted like coursos, but yeh.
We were required to dress up in little outfits and costumes i dressed up as a judo karate guy and some of my friends as you can see below dressed as guys, it was pretty fun actually, but it was gay central i guess, though it was a mixed thing mostly homosexuals were there to express their well you know, and thank god i was with some chicas for it weren't for them i'd probably had more advances than i did.
But yeah it was all in good fun, dancing on the street, dancing on the beach, pushing here there and hearing bob sinclare blast on massive speakers, oh and the rubbish was hilarious to see. Ne ways i best be off got more fun to push into my day.
Regards
Rensis

The story so far

2007-02-13T04:17:00.000+11:00

Well another 2 weeks of adventure, excitement trials and tribulations. Well firstly i've had my first visitor from santander some of the other international students came to visit barcelona and well to be honest they showed me around and we did the tourist things, which i havn't done actually kind of sad but i figured i have a yeah i got a year to do em. But anyways other than that you can see from the pictures i went to abarcelona game which was so awseome it was like whoa this beats the shit outta A league. But yeah it was so fun and the atmosphere was great and it was just a stupid lowly game, imagine the Liverpool game or even the Real Madrid one that would be like a dream if i can get into them.
But yeah i've got my student residency card, uni is on its swing, i love my place which u can see from the pictures below, and yeah its just so surreal i guess, that i'm gonna call this place home for the next year, which is funny but yeah i love it.
Well why am i posting, what else am i gonna do drinking can only get you so far, and i don't eat much because, i don't know i'm not really that hungry but theres like a supermarket downstairs from my flat and it closes at 3am so when you get the munchies at 2am its still open how cool is that!!
But yeah i don't know its very comforting that my life is where its at, like i dunno, dream i guess still feels a little surreal but yeah walking around now feels more comfortable because i know where to go and its not that hard to get to places here and there. Not to mention that i haven't drove since like what january which is an achievement. Oh one more thing EVERYONE SMOKES here so yea guess thats the only bummer being a non smoker.
But ne ways more situations coming up in the near future i can sense it but yeh till then i guess its hasta luego and take care of yourselves and each other
BYE!!

2007-02-02T03:39:00.000+11:00

Well kids im here in cold oh so cold barcelona, and what can i say about it but its just fantastic i cannot describe the beauty of this place its just so different from sydney. Firstly i am safe and i have recently just found a place, its got xbox so yeah i won't get rusty over the year come tournament time at lengs house. Well yeah its been very stressfull i must admit, firstly my spanish, im kind of shy to use it but i eventually come outta the shell and use it here n there but im still not fantastic at it.
trying to find a place was also exhausting as i some places ask for money for just a little shanty, i thought i'd pay a little bit more just to have the little creature comforts. Plus these roomies are sick they're a brazilian and swedish person which is cool. But yeah im very happy i guess now i've got lots of stuff sorted and i love the train system here its so efficient its not funny. its like EVERY 5 minutes or less a train will come, Sydney eat your heart out.
I love walking around these places you just get lost in your own thoughts here you just slowly saunter to places you wouldn't even dream of walking into back at home.
But yeah i guess i'm having the time of my life, living the dream as they say, its been stressful at first and yes i did get a little homesick but i guess now im more comfortable in my own skin and very confident with what i have.
Well take care you guys who read this im gonna go and prob have something to drink.
i'll try to keep you guys updated. Laters

me being bored at Honk Kong terminal

The swiss alps from the plane, very veryy pretty

another 144 hours

2007-01-17T23:40:00.000+11:00

Wow you can tell when you're bored and got nothing to do, but collect your thoughts, hmm well this weeks instalment shall include a hint of paranoia, well to start off im still scared, like nervous about the prospect ahead of me, its so daunting, its like everything i worked for is finally 144 hours away. SO why am i not excited?
2 reasons, im going to a country that doesn't speak english and i am not that confident with my spanish at all, sure i can ask directions etc. but u know i won't be able to speak as articulate as well as my english, so i feel im being chucked in the deepend, and i forgot my floaties.
Second reason, well yeah i guess i will miss Oz, especially my family and friends, my friend jodie layed it out to me yesterday in the car, imagine yourslef walking down the tube between the plane and the terminal, and sitting on your seat, you don't know who the person is next to you, and your there for 8 hours until hong kong, they say first 3 months are hard the next 9 months are a blast...hope those 3 months won't tie me down
Well ne ways the clock is ticking as i write this down, looking back on it its just gonna make me laugh but for now, shitting bricks

Well i guess this will probably the last post in oz, man that just hit me last post in oz, oh wells

trying to get his act together
