Statues are the only ones that cannot avoid Aznar’s conferences…

Still with tears on my face I want to write this note. Tears of emotion and memories… Every moment, every situation, every photogram of the film… I can merge any of them with memories in my mind. Memories from my Erasmus time in Växjö (Sweden).

L’Auberge espagnole is a french film dated on 2002. Directed by Cédric Klapisch and Romain Duris as the main character. The film is about “Xavier”, a french guy that goes to Barcelona in Erasmus during one year. From here on… all Erasmus life is shaped in the film.

I know that this film will not be the same for all… It’s obvious that I will get more involved in the story line that others… as all Erasmus students world wide.

My recomendation: If you are an Erasmus Student, you must see this film. And if you can, Original Version.

“Allora”! This is the word I’ve heard more during this last week in Italy. It’s meaning… “then”.

I’ve tried to learn a little bit of Italian. It has been difficult but I’ve been able to understand more that I expected. the only problem is that italians speak quite fast, “allora” you can understant a little bit or just get the whole idea.

I’ve found lots os of people! All of them really nice! Roberta, Elisa, Nadia, Vania, Michelle, Mateo, Fabio, etc… These are some of them. I have to be really thankful to them. They have opened their heart and house to me. In special Vania, who let me stay there for some days! Thanks to all!

Soon you will have some pics of the trip.

Ci vidiamo presto!!

P.S.: Michelle!! Have a nice time in Lisbon during your Erasmus! Take care!

Today is the Catalan National Day. The 11th of September.

As Catalans are different, we celebrate that we lost the war in the September, 11th 1714. But we are proud of that battle, because we stood against Spanish militars for a long long time in inferiority.

As a good catalan, I will hang up our flag at home during the day (well, my parents will do… I’m travelling to Rome right now), and of course, I will do the same in the net.

Visca Catalunya!

Tomorrow I’m leaving to Rome. I’m taking the plane early in the morning from Girona. Two hours and I will be in a middle of italian crowd. I’m a little bit afraid of them, but I know I will be with a good italian friend. Roberta is her name. A friend of mine from Växjö (Sweden) during my Erasmus experience there.
It’s obvious that this blog will be disattended during all the week because I will not lose my italian time surfing. I will have time when I’m back.

Just see you next week. Have a nice weekend.

Mobile Phone SPAM?? Nooooo!!!

This is a capture of my phone just five minutes ago. It was since last month that I appreciate an increase of SMS recived in my mobile, so I decided to leave it one day to know how many SMS I recived in 1 day. It has been a little bit more of 24 hours, but I think it’s too much. I will be forced to change my number!

Here you have the image!

Take your own conclusions… SPAM is getting into SMS. Be aware on where do you give your phone number.

Two concerts in less than 3 months. Now it was in Sabadell, exactly in Calalunya Park. It was a big concert, four groups together and for free! They played thirdly, just before Ariel Rot, but it was too late for me to stay more time. 1 o’clock was enought for me on sunday night. As lots of people, monday is working day, so I went to sleep.
At last, I could buy my Elefantes T-Shirt, and I found their first album with only 5 songs (just released). I couldn’t listen to it yet, but I will do it soon.

The end. The festival is over. Every year, on wednesday, the fireworks in Matadepera are the sign of the end of the festival.

Today has been one of the best fireworks I’ve ever seen in my town. Probably because they are the last, they seem greater. But I was commenting it with Oscar tonight, and he agreed with me in this point: One of the best fireworks ever.

Let’s see next year.
