Valencia

This has gotta be the coolest place ever, first off, ive succeeded in getting off the tourist trail, and now i dont see anymore bloody tourist, getting in my way all the time, taking pictures of everyone and everything (a little like me, hehe), and annoy the helloutta me...

yes, this is the ultimate spanish experience, im staying with the spanish, eating like a spanish, and party like one!

met up with Eduardo at the bus station and the dude wasted no time in bringing me to savour some of the weirdest food ever, Jamon and Fuet...they are some fermented, uncooked meat from God knows which part of which animal and he refused to tell me...and no, i didnt really enjoy it...

the highlight of the day was obviously the drinking session that happens before dinner...oh yeah, their timing is all screwed up, lunch at 2pm, siesta thereafter, and then dinner at 10pm! I particularly enjoyed the San Miguel and the Sangria that the folks have prepared, and of course, the sweet wine MISTELLA, it´s gotta be the best sweet wine ever, so cheap and yet so toxic... :p

the next day we had Paella, Gazpacho and Fideua at the local restaurant, and as it is a buffet, we ate till we could hardly move...

the thing i like about the spanish is that, they are just such a carefree and laidback bunch, imagine sleeping in till noon and party whole night till the next morning! and no, apparently u dont need a reason to party, i was asking edu on saturday night what was the occasion of the party that his friends were throwing on the rooftop, and he gave me a blank stare as if i was from outer space, ´we party every weekend!´, he said...

im really enjoying my sojourn here as im meeting new friends every day, my spanish vocabulary has increased in a tremendous rate and im starting to feel like a spaniard myself...lying on the beach whole afternoon and sunbathed till we got so tanned, and then off to the bar for tapas and beer...

now that´s life!
