Paco´s Life: Madrid

Crazy September

30 August 2006 8:38 AM | In Copenhagen, Travel |

September looks promising folks, it’s been already a long time since this month meant exams and more exams, actually, these last years it has been a great period. The last two ones it was the Oktoberfest at Munich, this one is gonna consist on a shitload of different plans. Starting with the most exotic one, the trip to Asia that I have been looking forward so much. I catch my Scandinavia Airlines flight to Singapore tonight, just 16 hours flying and I get there. After that… no clue. Actually that’s what I really fancy about this trip, going to a totally different place where I have no fucking clue about what I will be doing. I talked with Paul and it seems that it will be possible to plan trips to Kuala Lumpur (Malasya) and Bangkog (Thailand). Great… So I guess I will celebrate my 26^th birthday on 8^th September eating rice.

I will be back on 10^th September, looking forward to some rest since on 14^th 2 friends of mine from Madrid will pay me a visit. I guess these fellas will be intending to get the most of the Danish night… We are considering a trip to Olso, but this issue is still to be defined. If we don’t make the Moose is always there J

My friends will leave on 18^th and again some rest will be required since there is another plan for the weekend on the 22^nd. The first IT ICEX Meeting at Granada deserved a special effort. The figures are definitely shocking: 28 people will get together for a weekend in the nice southern-Spain city. We actually booked a whole building of flats in front of the Alhambra. Some guys were talking about buying shitloads of alcohol, the thing is promising. Getting there wont be easy though, from Copenhage I have to fly to Alicante where I will be picked up and driven to Granada. After the meeting the plans are not very clear yet but they can get very complicated, I will probably go to Madrid for a couple of days, then I have to show up in Cardiff, probably via London, after that back to Copenhage and finally I will move to Stockholm. So, in 10 days the combination could be something like: Copenhagen – Alicante – Granada – Madrid – London – Cardiff- Copenhagen- Stockholm. Big money, sometimes I get the feeling I am loosing my mind, I spent all my british savings and now I need the money advance from ICEX very badly.

Appart from that, some news here, the arrival of Alba, a catalan girl coming to Copenhagen for a Erasmus. She is staying in my place these days, in theory she will have my room while I am away in Singapore, this way I get some money back and she has a place to stay while she is looking for accommodation. But things are not so easy, my good friend Sara, who was not supposed to live in the flat apart from a couple of weekends, got ill and shown up yesterday. So far she does not look too pissed about finding a girl there although having guests was something her mother (the landlady) had forbidden. If she tells her the tension will be back. But it would be funny if she did it since she invited a lot of people while she was living here, she organized big parties, had guys staying in her room till very late and smoke a lot (another thing the mother forbid). I think she has much more to loose than I do. Anyway, lets see how this issue evolves, at least we have increased our social circle here with Alba, a very friendly girl which also will get us in touch with the Erasmus world.

For those of you interested in Danish life, the city is still a lot of fun, one day you have the Gay Pride, another day the city center is closed to traffic and full of street concerts, another day they organize a massive race in which almost everybody participates. They set some huge tents and barbacues. It is a real pity that the weather is no longer good but, anyway, who said dannish people were boring? I believe we have a lot to learn from them in Spain.

A few pictures of the gay thing…

Finally, I have to mention the presence of Mr Jose Luis – St Domingo, which was visiting Leo. Actually, with some many stuff going on there was not too much time to do things but I know the guy is having a lof of fun. See you at the Caribean crack!

Time to say goodbye fellas, I will be away for a few days, if I survive to the asian experience I promise pictures and comments.
