Little Spanish Updates #1

I love summer weather in España. The sun shines so brightly, but it is not humid, unlike Malaysia. And though the temperature is quite low in the mornings and nights, I am getting used to it. I just don´t think I´d like to be here during winter, though!

I miss eating rice. But I think I will get used to eating Spanish food soon coz it´s quite good.

Shopping here is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo expensive. I always think of the conversion rate, and I feel like dying. Ahhhhhh!

I have a placement test on Monday morning 9am. Ahhhhhhhh!

I have now checked out from Hostal Penelope, and am now in my new house with a lady named Encarnacion. It is in Camino de Ronda, one of the major roads in Granada.

I am having so much fun shopping Even though the conversion rate still scares me, I do need to get a lot of things since my suitcase is still not sent to me yet. The shops here, like Zara, MNG, Berschka, and United Colours of Benetton are huuuuuuuge. And surprisingly, quite cheap. For example, I bought a tank top from Benetton for only €9.90, and an underwear from Berschka for only €5.95! Those were pretty good deal, me thinks.

Something funny happened during lunch yesterday in a bar on Calle Navas – I ordered pollo frito, which is fried chicken, but it was the weirdest-looking fried chicken I have ever seen. Firstly, it wasn´t fried, and secondly, it was in CURRY sauce! Hahaha . And the portion was humongous, so I couldn´t finish it, to the chagrin of the cook and the barman who attended to me. OH well. My mom´s curry chicken is so much better – I miss it so!
