Well my friends! I haven´t updated in a long while, but now I finally have the time to do so. Firstly, I must say that I´m loving Spain. How can I not, when the weather is just so beautiful (imagine, hot hot sun but NO humidity and with cool nights to boot? I can live without a fan at home!), and the historical parts of Spain is awe-inspiring? The people are so friendly, too! Imagine, even the bus drivers say “hola!” to his passengers. And needless to say, the shopkeepers and shop assistants do the same. The food, once I got used to it, is delicious.
So far, I have travelled to Cordoba and Sevilla. I have seen the 3rd biggest cathedral in the world (Catedral de Sevilla), visited one of the candidates of the New Seven Wonders of the World (La Alhambra), and visited other mosques and cathedrals (Cordoba, Sevilla and Granada). Next Sunday I will be going to Barcelona, then to Madrid, Salamanca, and Segovia. On my way home, I will be stopping at Frankfurt for a few hours. I must say that I am enjoying my time travelling a lot! :) Going to many countries is fun, too. I stopped at Paris on my way to Madrid. Heh. :D
I have made good friends – Randa and Ryan (the two Rs), and met up with a good friend from back home (Janice! My fellow Malaysian!). My two housemates, Amanda and Ashley (the two As) are pretty nice girls, from Missouri. My señora cooks wonderfully. And one of my teachers is the best ever (she´s adorable in every sense of the word, haha).
I cannot believe that it´s already the last week of my one month in Spain. One more week of school, and one week of travelling, then I´m going home! Honestly, even though I´m really here in Spain, I still feel like I´m in Dreamland. Reality has not hit me yet. Reality (that I´m actually really HERE in Spain) has not hit me yet, even though I have done so many things and met so many people. I think it will only hit me when I´m home, and then I know I would miss Spain so bad. Sigh.
Hopefully you all are doing good! Can´t wait to see all of you when I´m back after August 5th. Ciao and lots of love from Addy in Spain.
Glad you are having so much fun in Spain.
Anyways just to let you know I got my first official frontpage byline in NST on July 21 (Saturday). If you wanna read it, you can go to my wordpress blog or (I think the URL is still active) you can try Google News and click from there (just type Ooi Ying Ying).
