Has it ever
happened to you that a song gets stuck in your head, it came out of nowhere and
then makes your brain its home?
Who am I
kidding of course you have. A friend even taught me the german word for it and
I obviously forgot. She read or heard somewhere that one solution was to listen
the whole song so your brain gets some sort of closure. I can tell you that is
not working.
So I begin
this post asking all of you a favor: Please listen to “Like A Stone” by
Audioslave, I have the theory that if I
can get someone else to listen to it I will be “cured”. Thank you.
Anyway, I’m going to try to write both in Spanish and English at least a few
posts of my Euro Diaries. The reason is that I’d love to share my experiences
with my friends since much of the moments I share on this blog where lived with
them. To all of my non Spanish speaking friends. This goes for you.
I went to
France to find myself and I still don’t understand what that means, when I got
the idea of making this series of posts I was on my goodbyes, and I remember
telling someone that I was in love of the person I was, of who I am. What I
meant was that I’ve been through a lot to be here, to get to this point and
even though there’s still a lot of room (like a lot) for improving I’m
comfortable on my skin and I am at this moment when after twenty-ish years, with the blue, the beauty and the not-so-easy I stand proud and looking
forward.
I wanted to
share some of my never fancy experiences while in Europe, a series of entries
with stories, pointers, pictures and music. Here is what you’ve been missing
on.
On the
firsts episodes of the Euro Diaries –a very original name I know- I wrote
about:
1-How much
I dislike trains. I’m not one of those people who needs to constantly move
around… until I’m on a train, then I get annoyingly restless. I do not wish you
to be stuck with me on a train. Also I’m
bitter because I never found a cheap ticket to Paris and have really bad luck
when it comes to seat mates.
2- My long
flight uniform: Jeans, t-shirt, sneakers, jacket and hat. My goal in life is to
be known as the girl with the hats. Ok that’s not true. My goal is something
not nearly as cool.
3- I got
lost in translation when by accident said a wrong “oui” at the wrong time and
everyone thought I loved cucumber. I don’t. But I like to think I’m nice (not
stupid at all) so I ate cucumber for a year almost every day.
4-My saving
money euro tips include: Using the GoEuro app, eating lots of kebabs, traveling
by bus, and asking around if it was worth to expend the night in a city. Mostly
my money went on ice cream, I know first step is to admit you have a problem
I’m still working on that one.
5- If you
have the opportunity to travel to France, you should really consider going to
Bordeaux, the city has everything. It’s beautiful, there's a lot to do and the
ocean is just an hour away. You can get wine for 1,50 Euros, a whole bottle! And if
you are lazy like I am and don’t fancy getting all dressed up to go out,
Bordeaux is as casual as you can get.
Now you are
updated on what’s going on this series. Get your Macarena moves ready because I’ll tell you about my Spanish experience.
Thanks for
reading.
Keep spreading love and positive thoughts to the world.
I'm pretty sure your friend meant the word "Ohrwurm" ;) Looking forward reading about your other experiences!
