Hue, Hoi An and Merry Christmas

The last week we've spent in the above mention cities. Hue, the old capital of Vietnam. This where the last emperors (mostly puppets of the French) stayed. Accordingly it boasts a huge Citadel, which is still being rebuilt to its original splendour after being mostly destroyed during the war. It has the typical "forbidden city" structure with only higher ranked officials allowed into inner parts. There were separate gates for the king, then members of the army and bureaucracy, then elephants and horses and far away for women. Even the Queen had a separate entrance.

There were also two royal tombs we visited: The ones of Tu Duc and Khai Dinh. The former with a huge garden a campus of buildings, where no one knows where the actual grave is. The latter is a mix of French and Vietnamese style with a lovely view. It is also the only one in the region where the precise spot of the empreror's resting place is known.



Last but not least we visited the 400 year old Thien Mu Pagoda and the surrounding buddhist monastery. The most interesting aspect of which was the car that carried Thich Quang Duc to Saigon in 1963, where he burned himself alive in protest of the governments religious policies. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Th%C3%ADch_Qu%E1%BA%A3ng_%C4%90%E1%BB%A9c)



We left for Hoi an by car on the 22nd after touring the former Demilitarized Zone, where the VietCong tunnels were of the attraction of note. The trip to Hoi an took us through a quite scenic pass and to better weather. On the way we witnessed huge hotel and golf course development sites for kilometeres on the beaches south of Danang (a city Vietnam is trying to make into a regional hub). It made for a pretty impressive viewing. Hoi an itself is a nice little city with few landmarks like the "Japanese bridge" but something I wasn't able to enjoy to the fullest as I fell sick on our arrival. Had high fever so stayed in the hotel for 1 and half days after which we left for Saigon...

Hanoi and Halong Bay

In the evening of Thursday the 17th of December we arrived at Hanoi airport. The road from the airport to Hanoi was like 1970s Baghdad according to my dad. It wasn't a compliment, but huge trucks almost ramming us gave a cool feel (a feeling which applies whenever you're driving in Vietnam) to the ride. We had to walk 600 meters (make it 900, since our "contact person" didn't find his way), because motorcycles flocked the streets as Vietnam lost(!!!!) to Malaysia 1-0 in the final of some sort of cup. Still they were celebrating.

Next morning we met Andris (bro of Veruchito) who's been working in Vietnam for 1,5 years. He proved invaluable. Nice, quick city landmark tour, great (and cheap) food and last but not least a lots of moto-riding (for Mate: without the "ciao"):). My parents and brother usually took the taxi and I rode with Andris through the flow of motorcycles in Hanoi. Normal traffic rules don't apply, neither traffic lights nor lanes is taken into account while driving. The only thing that matters is who is the bigger and who blows the horn. Doing the latter means "I'm coming, so bugger off".:) IT IS HUGE FUN!! :) Thank God the roads are so jammed people don't drive very fast so there are not too many accidents and even those result in light injuries.

After spending a day in Hanoi and seeing my family getting ripped of by the taxi (by 3 dollars :)) we went to Halong Bay. The weather was pretty bad and cold but the scenery was still fascinating. I'll let the pic do the talking. Oh and by the way, the traffic rules don't apply to the highways either. Then again since the max I've seen people drive with was 80 km/h its not (or it doesn't seem):) accident-prone.

3rd day evening we were off to Hue. More on that later...

Oh and the State here doesn't let me to access facebook, so I had to use a proxy site.:)

Pics and comments in Hungarian

Mielőtt fölteszem a képeket, két történet Szingapúrból:

1. Az egyik cukrászdában nézegettem a sütiket, és megakadt a szemem a "Trianon" sütin. Értelemszerűen nem tudtam kihagyni, bár magyarázatot nem kaptam a név eredetére. Öcsi szerint valszeg 5 éve még 3szor ekkora volt mint most.:)

2. Novotelben 10$ egy óra internet. Szerencsére volt lehetőség egy kis magyarkodásra.:) Ugyanis a szomszédos hotel wifi-jét fogta a gép, ahol egy óra 5$ míg 1 nap 10$. Az más kérdés, h nem tudták lenyomozni ki és mennyi netet használ a másik hotelben.:) Ergo ingyen net volt 2 napig.;)

The following pics are from Australia. There will be more but I don't want to flood you guys with 1000 pics.:)

Which one of these is endangered?

Singapore

Dropped off to Singapore for 3 days to thought I'll give you quick resume:

Visited the NUS (National University Singapore) campus where my bro studied last semester. Compared to our unis back home it is huge, with several bus-lines transporting students around the place. New faculties are still being built, like a the donated by a local businessman for 23 million S$. ☺ The Singapore National Museum is a must if you are interested in the city’s history, takes a bit long though. We were nowhere near finished after 2 hours. The city itself is amazing, with various arcitectural feats littering the centre. As for Singaporeans: If they decide to do something they do it big: Gambling was outlawed for a long time, but when they realized that people just go to Macao, they decided to make their on casino. Its a massive building with three 55 storey hotels (connected with a sky bridge) built by the side of it, just in case. They want to finish them until the Chinese New Year so that the Chinese spend all their money here and not in Macao. Thats why work goes on 24/7. Oh and its only free for foreigners. Singaporeans still have to pay 100 bucks to get in. ☺

Sydney (gonna be a bit long) :)

After Brisbane, Cairns and Surfers Paradise, Sydney is a truly metropolitan city. It feels a lot like London, just better weather.:) The wealth that you see is quite impressive, apparently the recession didn’t hit Australia. I read about it before but I still cannot get to terms with what I am seeing. Huge constructions are springing up in all parts of the country that I’ve visited so far, people seem to be dining out even more then the Spanish do.

Now for the 4 y poco days that we’ve spent here:

Apart from a couple of landmarks (Opera House, doing the Skywalk in the „TV-tower”, ANZAC war memorial, Sydney Aquarium) we met quite a number of friends and a family member. First up on Friday was the Australian division of the Sai Halasz family (Pali and Hanna) who showed us around the eastern suburbs including the Watsons Bay and Rose Bay. It was all very impressive. Just a small drive from the city centre its where some of the poshest suburbs are located. Beaches, beautiful views, parks, nice bars, restaurants etc. Could be hoarding adjectives for pages...

Then we met Zó and his lovely girlfriend-wife-to-be Regine. Zó emigrated in 1969 and then made it big as a professor (and consultant) in accounting. The guy really is larger than life (http://datasearch.uts.edu.au/business/staff/details.cfm?StaffId=53 in his sixties), with loads of stories and small jokes: „Sorry guys I came with the small car, so one of you might have to sit a bit uncomfortably in the back.” We were already guessing what could this „small” car be. Of course it was a black Porsche Carrera. Any guesses for the big car?:)

We also went to one of his MBA lectures on Saturday, which was really good. Afterwards we went with the ferry to Manly, a northern suburb. Also a really nice place, with some really posh bars, where women wear glittery dresses during the day as well. I guess they are looking for husbands.:)

Sunday we met János Beretvás. Now he may not sound anything special but he is the brother of my grandma who emigrated in 1951 and whom we haven’t yet seen in our lives. He has been suffering from cancer for more then 10 years and is called the miracle-boy back in Sydney. As he says, he was supposed to „go to the morgue” a couple of months ago as he fell into a coma after his heart slowed down. It turns out that it only „recharged”.:) (I know this sounds as very morbid but these are his words) Its the upteenth time he has come back from the brink, so I guess our future wives will have a tough time ahead. We are stubborn buggers.:) We had a big lunch (kaszinó tojás, rántott hús stb.), prepared by his wife Margo, to whom I have to convey a „big respect” for taking care (and putting up with) him.

Afternoon we spent walking down from Bondi Beach and then chilling at Bronthe Beach. The former is the more well known, but the two beaches further down south are much cosier. All in all Sydney was beautiful (maybe even better situated then Budapest)☺ and the only reason why it doesn’t win outright in terms of where to live is because it is so freakin’ far away from everything. Otherwise even the working hours are cool. Not even accountants or consultants work overtime.:) (or at least not to the extent as back in Europe)

Off to Singapore now, to upload the pics (bro left the cable there) and to meet our parents. Y luego Vietnam...

Update

Last couple of days we spent in Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast. You guessed it we were surfing alright. It was fun though I will need some more time to hone my skills.:) The instructor was brilliant (37 year old everyoung) and I have to say he looked more at home when in the water then when on the beach. He also had a knack of saying "Bavaria" when being on photos, though he only said its a "long story" when asked for an explanation.

We also met Moni again and toured the coast a littlebit with her. Took part in a pub crawl which went well and we did nurse a hangover the next day. That was probably due to the drinking of "goon", Australia's version of cheap wine. I personally think its worse then "tablettás bor". Last but not least we found out on the last day that our max 18 year old „flatmates” were working as strippers. Didn’t look too good so we didn’t miss much, hehe. Ah and one of them had a Hungarian grandma... All she knew was „nokedli”, „rakott krumpli”. Or at least that’s what she told us she knew.:)

We arrived in Sydney today, more on that later.

Back again

Hi all. It’s been a while. After two days of diving and one rainforest tour its time for some rest.:) On the 3rd and 4th we went for a two day dive tour to Norman reef which included a night’s stay on a boat and 7 dives in total. It was great fun, though after 6 dives we got a bit saturated. In all we saw a lot of sharks (especially during the night dive), barracudas, cods maori wrasses, turtles and a bunch smaller fish. But I guess I only seem to care about the bigger buggers.


As for the rainforest tour, don’t expect a classic jungle tour in South America (i haven’t been to one but I guess its not like this). Nonetheless we saw cool figtrees, rat kangaroos, platypusses and loads of possums – thanks to some great Hungarian spotters in the team ☺ - during the night tour. Since I was reprimanded a reader that I am talking too much I’ll let some of the pics do the talking. Meanwhile am already in Brisbane and am off to Surfer’s Paradise and Byron Bay tomorrow. (more pics are coming a bit later):)

Pictures will follow shortly...:)

After being reunited in the morning with my brother (and sunbathing between 830 and 915 – the sun is really high up by that time) we went to the Cairns Tropical Zoo 40 kilometers north of the city.

The main attraction was obviously cuddling with a coala and taking photos with it. It was quite cool, though as it was, it had a bit of an industrialized sidetaste. We also saw wombats, crocodiles, kangaroos and various birds like kookaburras and emus. One of the crocodiles called Zont, who was captured in the wild had a curious story to it. A farmer noticed that over the year some of his cattle went missing. Looking for the cause he found a well-fed croc in the river, but instead of shooting it he trapped it (the reptile suffered - still visible - sunburn while being trapped) and brought it the zoo. He’s responsible for 30! cattle lost this way.:) Oh and we also saw snakes, one of which was incidentally the most venomous in the world. Forgot its name sorry. But one dose of his/her poison is enough to kill 255,000 rats or as the presentator pointed out about 4-5 times the 25 member audience.:)

The afternoon we spent chilling, (in my case applying for jobs) and then had a really nice dinner. Bro is already sleeping cause we are leaving at 745 tomorrow for diving at the Great Barrier Reef. Will be spending one night on the boat so you’ll have to wait 36 hours for the next exciting post.

Byron Bay és tsa-i

Hello again. Arrived in Cairns this afternoon and I have to say the weather is distinctly south asian: Hot and humid. There ain‘t much happening here for me today. Already had a walk in the city relaxed in the pool (I guess its a prerequisite of every hostel here) a bit. Am still writing cover letters in my spare time and sending my CVs to various places around Europe. I had to leave everything for the last moment...:)

As for yesterday, we went to Byron Bay where you find the easternmost tip of the Australian mainland and went to the beach there which had lovely sand but the water was a bit fresquito. We still haven‘t figured out why it was so cold. Its also worth of note that since Byron Bay is in New South Wales as opposed to Gold Coast, Queensland you “enter a different timezone“ (+1 hours) even though you‘re at the same longitude! This is because some smartass in QLD thought that they already have too much sun and therefore they don’t hold... This can become interesting when one side of the road is in NSW and the other is in QLD: imagine inviting your neighbour over for dinner, (Hey! You were supposed to be here an hour ago! The food is cold already...) or trying to get to a bank after work...



For my experience so far I can already note that if you want to go sightseeing etc., this is not country. But if you want to do stuff outdoors, it is quite amazing.(I don’t think I need to mention how good the weather is) Hiking, any form of surfing, diving or just jogging, the possibilities are unlimited. Water though is really expensive. It costs almost as much as soft drinks. I love the fruits though. Lo siento pero la cualidad es mucho mejor que en Espana.:)



Oh yeah and if you ever think of watching the movie: The Invention of a Lie... DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT DOING SO!!!!! WORST MOVIE EVER!!! At least we made up for the evening with a one hour of youtube stan-up comedy with Gabriel Igleasias and Jeff Dunham.:)
Tomorrow its off to the Zoo for some Koala Cuddling. Ah yes, and after practically not seeing eachother for 9 months I also meet up with me little brother. Can’t wait!




P.S.: Sorry about the size of the pics, will ask Jake for the originals when I get back to the GC.

First days... Disaster struck!!

Nothing too bad, but thought the title will be good marketing.:)

Most of you will probably have good laugh about this:), but I couldn't go and see the Australia vs West Indies match at The Gabba in Brisbane. A thing I was really looking forward to when coming to Oz. The following text may very well sound a bit "Chinese" for those of you not familiar with the game, but I still have to let it out!! (you can skip it, but it should be funny when you think you talk the language you're reading and still don't understand it in parts)

Those imbeciles (bar Barath who scored a century on debut) from the Carribean managed to lose the Test match inside 3 days!!! (remember this is supposed to be a 5 day match) Not even England are capable of giving up 15 wickets in one day! We were joking with Jake that we might have to go on Saturday as the WI already lost 5 wickets on the second day. But since Ponting hardly ever enforces the follow-on and the second test up on Friday already, surely he would rest the bowlers. And surely Chanderpaul wouldn't go cheaply in the second innings, not to mention Bravo getting out to Mike Hussey(!!!! - I don't even rate him as a part-time bowler, its like Trescothick getting the wicket of a Pakitani batsman many years back) hooking the over before Tea... Ah never mind! I might still be able to go to a state match on the 9th of December, unless it washes out...:)

Otherwise its 30-35 degrees.:) I spare a thought for those in Europe languishing under 5-10 degrees celsius.:) Had a night out with Lewis and the Gang in Fortitude Valley Brisbane. Its a really cool scene, with clubs everywhere (egymás hegyén-hátán - softer moment;)) and loads and loads of people. They do have dress code at some places which sometimes borders on the ridiculous. People who had "Quicksilver" or "Fox" written on them were turned back at "Birdee Num Num"... I guess they hated skaters and surfers....

Went to the rock pools today, which is basically going to a rocky beach with freshwater and smell of barbecue.:) Its all chilling at the moment. Tomorrow we're off to Byron Bay...

Arrival

Well, after 36 hours of sitting on the plane or waiting for one and travelling on the train I finally arrived at Robina Station, Gold Coast. The trip was okay,although I didn`t sleep much. Went from Budapest to Frankfurt, then to Singapore(incidentally I fell asleep just south of Kabul), refuelled and then to Sydney. Changed terminals for 5,50$ and was off to Brisbane from where I only had to take a train for 1 h 40 minutes. I still haven`t changed my mind about letting children under the age of 3 on long-haul flights:) but thank God my view has led me to do anything that would land me in prison... yet.:)

Some interesting sidenotes about the airports. At Frankfurt, I happened something quite curious at a Burger King. Normally you ask for a big sized Menu. But here a customer has to ask for a "spar"(savings) Menu in order not to get a King Size!!! In this of all place in Germany, which isn`t exactly the home of consumerism. At Sydney I was singled out by the customs personel and had my bag all messed up, but didn`t find anything in the end. Well, there`s always a first time.:)

Jake (I met him in IW Croatia 2005 - insider information) was about 2 minutes late for which he was obviously utterly sorry. After living in Spain for 3,5 months and travelling 36 hours I found that very amusing.:)

The first day I spent trying not to sleep till the evening, and I did that by watching cricket.:) On top of that it was a five-day game.:D:D:D I guess most of you will find it suprsising how on Earth I did not fall asleep. We had barbecue in the evening with the family plus some friends. Moni also showed up (IW Zagreb as well) and today I should be going to a theme park called WET and WILD (for those of you who know me just a bit will understand how hard was it for me NOT to comment on this)with her and her Sister. (btw there is 20 years to separate the two):)

As for photos, because Jake`s home and tomorrow`s cricket match will definetly deserve some, we all will have to wait a bit as my camera is still in Barcelona.(it wouldn`t be me would it):) But I do have my dad`s with me, without an uploading cable and thank God I`ll meet up my bro in 4 days time.

That`s all for now. I`ve gotta wake Jake up. I just checked on facebook that he couldn`t sleep. That was 5 hours ago, but he told me to wake him up no matter what...:)

egy apro valtoztatas

For a change I am gonna continue writing my blog in English (occasionally changing into Hungarian and in softer moments into Spanish). Hopefully more people will be able to enjoy this way, and it wont change my way of speaking to much either. So have fun.

Mai történések

Egy csöves kért egy kis aprót: Nem alkoholra, kajára hanem TEJESKÁVÉRA!!!

Előtte félórával kb pedofilnak néztek, mert engedély nélkül csináltam fotót egy babáról... A bisex, meleg megnevezések után ezt is megéltem. Legközelebb transzfesztita leszek??? Ma este buli van, kicsit félek mi lesz ezek után...:)

Szerintem hasonlít

Csak annyi, h BBVA-nal is lemondott "Gyurcsány"...

Nézzétek a videót mondjuk 1:18-nál.

La noche

Az este aranyköpése:

Hazamenet egy arra járó ismeretlen, minden valószínűség szerint amerikai lány megjegyezte, h: It would be so hot to have sex on a baseball field!! Csak ennyit hallottam és természetesen leróttam tiszteletemet ezen őszinte megnyílvánulás iránt. Nem tudom emlékszetek-e az 1-2 héttel ezelőtti poszt lényegére.

Ja még annyi h pacsiztam egy taxi anyósülésén ülő sráccal, az csak jó hecc volt. Mindenesetre említésre méltó.

Good night and good luck.

Majd elfelejtettem

Miegymás

Rég írtam...:)

A nap fény(mély)pontjai nem feltétlenül időrendi sorrendben.

Az Orange nevű szolgáltatónál tartott mobilomat se az interneten, se bankautómatán keresztül nem tudtam feltölteni. Kénytelen voltam elmenni a kevés bolt egyikébe, kivárni a sort majd konstatálni, hogy nem lehet kártával fizetni mivel a 2 gép egyike se működik. Szerencsére volt nálam egy kevés készpénz. Hát igen, mégis mire számítottam? Svájcra? :)

Lassan megcsináltatom a NIE-t is, de ma inkább visszafordultam, mert kb 3 órás sor állt az önkormányzat előtt. Pénteken majd korán lemegyek.

Apropó holnap megint ünnep (Mercé) ergo utcai koncertek bulik vannak műsoron vasárnapig. Ma este IWs-okkal megy a fiesta a változatosság kedvéért.

Egyéb: BCN-ban mindenki annyira csinos,divatos h kezd egy kicsit unalmassá válni. Akkor telt be a pohár, amikor 2 szakadt punk ment be a Zara-ba vásárolni.:D:D

És végül de nem utolsósorban kijött a Pearl Jam új albuma: Backspacer. Remélem jön majd az európai turné is hamarosan. Brian pedig épp az imént halálra ijesztett a hecc kedvéért.:S

csók

p.s.:nem tudom, feltűnt-e vkinek, h mennyire valószínű a pénteki koránkelés:)

Egy gyors megjegyzes

A sulibol irok aze nincs ekezet... Szal a lenyeg, h egy ESADE-s srac nemreg ravilagitott a tengerentuli cserefelevek lenyegere:

Ha Szingapurba mesz akkor sokat utazol. Az USAban viszont sok a szex...(erre tobb USAban tanult sporttars is helyesloen bologatott)

Gondoltam ezt a bolcsesseget megosztom veletek.:)

Szar az egész, jövök haza...

:)

Najó nem ennyire vészes a helyzet, de diplomaosztóra (na meg egy hajvágásra) hazanézek. Csütörtökön jövök és jelen állás szerint hétfőn repülök vissza. Az AIR-esek már most reszkethetnek, Ditti különösen miután kizárással fenyegetett.:)

Szerencsére megint jó az idő, úgyh fel tudok szedni még egy kis színt mielőtt hazajövök. Most rohanok edzeni, az igért képekkel (nem lettek túl jó minőségüek de lényeget átadják arról az ominózus péntek reggelről) még ma szolgálok.

No comment

15 eurót fizettem, a legtöbb jó klubba ennyi (min) a belépő és erre reggel hatkor közlik h zárnak. Pofám leszakad!!! 2 lakótűrsam bealudt, majd küldöm a fotókat.:D Jaj de részeg vagyok. Viszont becsülöm a spanyolokat, mert ma épp Katalónia(~Kelenföld) "függetlenségét" ünnepljük. Valljuk meg őszintén elég szánalmas, h azt ünneplik, h a franciák szarrá verték őket egy csatában illetve, h kezdenek megszabadulni az "elnyomástól". (gőzük sincs mi az):D

Adios

Mano

...

Bizonyára sokan hiányoltátok az újabb bejegyzést. Nos nagyon durva hétvégém volt (akarom mondani csütörtök-péntek-szombat-vasárnapom) és mire végre rávettem magam a sok buli után h írjak vmi érdemlegeset is, eszem vmi szart napközben és máris kénytelen vagyok passzolni.

Ergo most lefekszem, mert elegem van a hányás-vagy ahhoz közeli állapot / fejfájás kombóból. Viszlát holnap.

Egy IWCOs este

Jézusatyaúristen de bekúrtam.:) Elég jó volt a buli, de kicsit para h 2 óra múlva kelek...:D

Új lakás

Nagy hír: Szerváltam új lakást, akarom mondani szobát.:) Nagyon jó helyen van, nagy!!! ággyal viszont az ablaka egy lichthofra nyílik. Mindent összevetve nagyon örülök, a lakótársak (peruiak) is jónak tűnnek meg az argentin "főnöknő" is jó arc.

Ennyi.:) Semmi extra, de nekem mégiscsak fontos volt, h gyorsan találjak vmi jó helyet.

Mire nem jó a facebook?! :)

Ma összefutottam Basia-val. Ez a hír önmagában nem különleges. Azt kell tudni, h eddig egyszer találkoztam életünkben, 2 évvel ezelőtt. (Karolina lakótársaként):) Viszont most felelőtlenül beírta a facebook status-aba h Barca-ban van ezért találkoztunk egy-két sör erejéig.:)

Hazafelémenet az egyetlen említésre méltó eset az volt, amikor egy homokos pasi látványosan csörgette a lakáskulcsát a (gondolom) frissen fölszedett párja előtt, ezzel is jelezvén, h nemsokára... kávéznak egy jót.;)

Ma is korán keltem

Ma reggel ötkor fürdés a tengerben, jobbhíján alsógatyában.:) Persze volt egy srác még nálunk is lazább volt és ruhástul mártózott meg. Mondjuk részegebb is volt. Mellékesen leadtam a rendőrségen vkinek az igazolványait, barátnője fényképét, fitnessbérletét stb... welcome to BCN.:)

Nehéz az élet

Bizony nehéz az élet Barcaban. Holnap is vmi hasonló hazajövetelre lehet majd számítani. Viszont akár hiszitek akár nem, az ivararány kezdi baszni a csőrömet. Tekintve, h csak csajok vannak senki sem értékeli a vulgáris beszólásokat, a jó női seggeket illetve kicsit sok a horoszkóp meg a "mit veszek fel ma estére" téma... Remélem ez változik a jövő héttől.

Egy neves evezőstársam kifejezett kérésére ;)

Orbán nem találta a blogomat ezért megpróbálom újjáéleszteni. Nem tudom lesz e elég időm rá valami igényeset csinálni mindenesetre bevágom a legutóbb elküldött beszámolómat az elmúlt két hétről.

Arra azért számítsatok, h inkább pillanatnyi felindulásból (pl. 1. mert részeg leszek egy évben egyszer, 2.mert a faszom kivan a légkondiktól stb.) fogok írni a blogra.



Basics:

A suli által beszerzett lakás egy brazil nőé, aki a fiával él itt együtt + odacsapódik hozzánk egy diák néha. A nőci elején nagyon kedves volt, mostanra már egy kicsit elfáradt: néha szarrágó (amikor jelzi, h ez az "Ő" mosópora - értsd ha Anna nem hagyományoz rám egy adaggal, akkor elkér érte mittudoménmennyit, vagy nekem kell venni a 4 hétre amíg hivatalosan itt vagyok) múltkor meg este 1130 és 130 között amolyan latinosan veszekedett egyet a fiával egy-két pofon keretében. Lényeg, h change is in the air.

2 hete vagyok nyelvsuliban, amit 3/4-re osztályoznék, bár ez kicsit az épp ránk kiosztott tanártól is függ. Amikor beküldenek valakit a "beszédkészség- fejlesztős" órára és az elkezd az ázsiaiak problémáival foglalkozni, akkor persze h nem haladunk semmit.:) A diákok jó arcok, eleget programozunk is (értsd, strand és buli néha vmi múzeum) A suliban amúgy a srácok aránya egészen elenyésző: kb 10%, de ha azt vesszük, h az olaszok többsége úgyis buzi akkor inkább 3%.

A kisebbségek:

Egy külön fejezetet szánok nekik, annyira fontos a jelenlétük. Persze, sokan lopnak, bár Nadya apja (aki mellesleg az orosz hadseregnél volt terrorelhárításná l és nem irodai munkán... és most magáncégek biztonsági osztályainak a munkáját irányítja, hehe) múltkor egy csapat oroszt kapott rajta amint kopasztjál a turistákat. Szóval lényeg, h vasárnap és ünnepnapokon ill. hétköznap este 11-12-ig csak kínai ill paki boltok vannak nyitva. Az utcai "beer-cerveza- aqua-néha- hashish-esetleg- kokó" árusokról meg ne is beszéljünk.

Sok a köcsög:

Apropó buzik, Kardos Geri kedves ismerőse Marta azért megjegyezte, h eléggé egy buzi prototípus vagyok itt Barca-ban a fiatalos (baba) arcommal (aha, szóval én leszek a köcsög, faja):) meg a néha az öltözködésemmel (aznap rózsaszín póló volt rajtam). Ez persze csak amiatt jött szóba, mert másik közös ismerősünk Pedro viszont meleg. Bár ő legalább biztos, h nem csak divatból csinálja. Állítólag itt most ez nagyon menő.

Sport:

Nem még nem találtam magamnak krikett klubbot. (persze nem is kerestem, amennyi pakit itt lát az ember... tuti van egy 3 osztályos megyei bajnokság errefelé) De ne aggódjatok majd írok a britt konzulátusnak is vmi szöveget.;) Befizettem a helyi menő fitness klubba. Nagyon faja, mert sok helyen van "telepük" a városban, van minden (nagy kondi, ergo, spinnig, szeptembertől box ;), squash ja és kigyúrt állatok meg a szilikonos mellű csajaik) DE NINCS FEKVEHÚZÓPAD!!! Hátra van még a tengerparti futás... (nameg az evezés ill. a foci)

Egyéb flash-ek:

A napi menü intézménye, aminek keretein belül 7-8 euróból 3 fogást kajolsz. Ez még nem lenne izgi, de simán be is lehet rúgni a keretein belül. Van ugyanis egy "vörösbor szénsavas ásványvízzel" (tudom nálunk fröccsnek hívják) opció, amikor eléd raknak egy üveg szar vörösbort meg egy fél liter ásványvizet. Gondolom mondanom se kell, h 1:1-es higítás és éhgyomor mellett egész jól be lehet csípni tőle.

Nagyon büszkék a "calimutxo" nevű italukra, amit állítólag még a baszkok találtak ki. Mi magyarok csak VBK-nak hívjuk...

Ez inkább a negatív flash kategória: A teraszokról mindig csöpög vmi. Az ember azt gondolná, h csöpög a légkondi, teregetnek, de kurvára nem... Nem is akarom tudni mi az.:S

A nightlife-ot illeti: Voltam egy elég frankó utcai fesztiválon (mielőtt vki utánajár, nem az aug.1-9ig tartó gay-and-lesbian event-en) plusz még néhány bárban ill. egy-két diszkóban. Bár utóbbiak jó részében nem "jutottam be" mert dress-code ill. 20 euros belépő van.:)

Amúgy meg megfáztam, mert mindenhol megy ez a "ha 35 fokos párás meleg van kinn akkor hűtsük le a levegőt 15 fokra az biztos nagyon egészéges" légkondi. Továbbra is lakást ill. lassan állást is keresek. A spanyolom meg szépen javul.;) (mégis csak ezért jöttem ki)
