I've enrolled in a Spanish immersion classes here in Salamanca. Time flies really quickly, we will have our partial exam next week. I realized that it's been a month and still I have no one to call a friend in this foreign land. <strong>Muchos conocidos pero amigos nada.</strong> When I was still processing for the matriculation, I was very hopeful that I would meet interesting people and that I would be able to make new friends easily. Spain is known after all for being friendly and welcoming. Right now I feel like I'm the only exception and that fate has played its dirty tricks on me. Don't get me wrong. Salamanca is a bustling city with a large influx of foreign students each year. In my class, there's a group of Americans students who are enrolled as a part of their home university program. Naturally they have their own little group while the rest of the class have their own set of friends as most of them are staying in homestays. I opted to stay in a college residence since its a cheaper option and I thought it would be a good place to meet students from different countries. Unfortunately for me I am stuck in a dorm where the majority of the students are Italian. Apparently this dorm is fully occupied but I don't know where the rest of the people are. I only see the Italian barrio everyday and now the thought of socializing in a dorm is no longer appealing. This is even worse than college. The first two weeks was fine as I had really fun dorm mates: one cool lady from Australia and a really outgoing guy from Hong Kong. Sadly they were only here for 2 weeks. And to make matters worse, I am in Spain the land of tapas and fiesta. Fate can be so cruel. I consider myself a friendly person but I don't like the thought of hanging out with a bunch of college kids partying all night. So to make things less "lonely" and for me to be more productive in practicing my Spanish, I signed up in an intercambio. But that's it. I still have no friends to hang out with and enjoy delicious tapas, or go shopping or watch movies. There are so many things I want to do but I am hindered because of my solitary routine like eating paella for instance. The best paella restaurant only serves for a minimum of 2 people. Boo! Now I feel like I'm watching the world silently, like having a severe depersonalization disorder. I guess this is the downside of being 60% introverted and 40% extroverted. You survive even though you have few friends to socialize. It's also hard to reconnect with old friends due to the difference in time zones plus the fact the fact they are busy or they may have already forgotten about me completely. It's even worse now that November has arrived. For the first time I'm truly dreading the prospect of my birthday. I just know that it will be the most pathetic birthday ever. No friends and family to celebrate it with. I don't feel comfortable randomly telling my classmates "hey you know what, it's my birthday today, let's go to the bar to celebrate. My treat!" *Sigh* </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Life sucks.</span>Lirahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10466368827415203681noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1291438089543328546.post-80139277732769045472014-10-05T04:10:00.002+08:002014-10-05T04:10:53.959+08:00Toledo 2014<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As was mentioned on my previous <a href="http://kookibar.blogspot.sg/2013/11/euro-trip.html">post</a>, I recently made my first trip to Spain in September. The trip was divided into 2 parts: 5 days in Castilla y Leon and 4 days in Madrid with a side trip day tour in Barcelona. My original plan was to stay only in Madrid for 5 days so I didn't have much time to prepare the first half of my journey. Although I did some pre-planning by reading travel books and checking travel blogs on the internet, but I didn’t really know what to expect prior to arrival.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Castilla y León</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Lonely Planet describes this region as Spain without the stereotype with vast brooding plains, spectacular mountain peaks, with charming towns and castles. 5 days are not enough to explore the region but I managed to visit Valladolid, Burgos, Salamanca, and Segovia with a side trip to Pedraza y Tordesillas. There is much to be said about the scenery and I was very impressed with the sights starting day one. I like the history vibes and the ancient feeling of the medieval towns I had visited. I don’t get to see on a daily basis buildings from the 11th or 12th century which are still functioning. It felt like stepping back in time. It was awe-inspiring. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">My favorite part of the trip was walking through winding streets twisting up and down the hill with well-preserved medieval architecture and charming bar and restaurants in every corner. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Madrid</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Madrid was quite a revelation for me. It is lively, with great architecture, so much culture as well as history. Unlike Castilla y Leon where I had to adjust with the temperature, the weather was warm and sunny and comfortable to get around. It´s a vibrant city with lots to do and see: it is beautiful to look at in the day, more so in the evening. I think there is no shortage of nightlife in Madrid. The highlight for me is that you can get anywhere by foot as most of the attractions are within walking distance. I just walked and saw a lot: narrow streets leading to eating places, historical spots, shops and tapas bars. My only regret was that I wasn’t able to visit the El Escorial as was initially planned.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Barcelona</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Barcelona is resplendent with the creative modernista architecture. Even if you don’t know anything about architecture or modernismo en general but when you walk the streets of Barcelona you will intuitively be able to identify a Gaudí building as they are unmistakable. What I was not prepared however was the huge number of tourists in the city.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Food: Prior to visiting Spain, the closest thing I experienced in the Spanish gastronomy was at the Instituto Cervantes. Most of the cities I’ve visited are like huge tapas bar as there a lot of options to choose from.The food was varied and flavorful. The eating schedule was different and takes time getting used to. I was overly impressed with the quality of food and the service and was even offered a glass of sherry after dinner, compliments of the house. It’s interesting to note that I felt like I was constantly eating when I was there. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">¡A tapear!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The people: The people are vibrant and fun-loving. I didn’t expect such warmth. I think the people in Madrid are as equally friendly, knowledgeable and supportive as the people in the places that I had visited in Castilla y Leon. I didn’t have a hard time asking for direction or restaurant recommendations as they were always friendly and will go out of their way to help. Although I really made a lot of blunder, they took my attempts at Spanish as a compliment.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Anticipation was my constant companion when I went to Castilla y Leon as I was traveling alone. Despite the initial fears, the good thing about traveling alone is that the trip becomes more flexible and it is a good way to think and reflect. My trip to Spain was full of fun, and I had a great time appreciating life and culture. </span></div>

I'm not sure if my paternal grandfather was a member of the guerilla movement who fought against the Japanese but he used to tell us stories about the second world war. He and his family along with other locals hid in caves. My grandfather mentioned that it was easy to distinguish the sound of an American jet fighter from that of a Japanese aircraft. The Americans did air assault against the Japanese infantry so campfires were not allowed for fear of being bombed.</span> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="344" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/BiB4J6WCgLQ" width="459"></iframe><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Time flies really fast, September is just around the corner! I'm doing my best not to count the days. I've already bought the tickets and the accommodations have been arranged. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I thought I've got everything covered and yet I am not prepared. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I am on the verge of panic actually. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I already have a packing list but haven't bought the essential items needed. Sigh. A friend of mine reminded me earlier today that I need a new camera. I love taking photos with my smartphone but I'm not really a photography buff. Besides, my 5-year-old digital camera is still working so I'm quiet hesitant to buy a new one. Hopefully my Ixus 80 will suffice in capturing those epic travel moments.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Its all a bit of a blur at the moment and my travel itineraries are not yet fixed. I've been scouring Lonely Planet for some travel tips and articles, hopefully I can </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">get things sorted and </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">come up with something substantial in the next few days. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I've tried doing a hands-on practice. For some reason, I still couldn't get the hang of it. Oh well...as the cliche goes, if at first you don't succeed, try, try again. And I'm trying my darnedest! Having a petite frame, it's quite a challenge globetrotting while carrying a huge backpack. I'm prepared to eat where the locals like to eat (except liver, yuck!). </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Anyway, while browsing the net for possible itinerary, I came across</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> a </span><a href="http://www.groupon.sg/deals/travel-deals/Grand-Soluxe-Angkor-Palace-Resort-Spa/717265135" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Groupon offer</a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> to Siem Reap which is very tempting. Alrightyyy...I will have to turn the other check as I prefer to travel in 4 countries in a single trip. </span><br />
