Hello all!
Writing to you from the crazy city of Barcelona! After I aksed ther girl on the computer next to me at this internet cafe what day it was, I realise that tomorrow I will have been travelling for almost three weeks! At this point in time I feel like I should part some words of wisdom on what Ive learnt here in Spain...
My Spanish Vocab: (notes taken at the beach yesterday, written on a city map...hard to read) Pleease ignore shoddy spanishg spelling...
Quanto questa?...how much?
Agua...water
chupito...shot (of alcohol)
Hola...Hello
Grazias...thankyou
Salida...exit...
Por Favor...Please
Cevesa...beer
Autobus...Bus
Uno...One
Pollo...chicken
Guopo...sexy boy (Hola Guopo!)
Carne...meat
Atun...Tuna (Lucky I was fluent with this word otherwise Veronika wouldve bought tuna pizza in Malaga!)
hablo Englais?...speak english?
Buenos noches...good night
adios...goodbye!
hermane...brother
manyana...tomorrow
This proves that my spanish has increased twentyfold sinmce I have embarked on this educational adventure.
Essentials for a day of being touristy:
- tissues (for public toilets or the possibility of being shat on by a bird, like we were in Lagos)
- a spoon. So useful!! it means you can buy helthy cheap stuff like yogurt. Also doubles as a knife to spread avocado or laughing cow.
- gum. Keeps oral hygeine levels up when you dont have time to brush
- map/metro map...Essential!!!
- vague idea of where your hostel is...knowing at least the name of it and a landmark closeby (eg. Macdonalds or a regular beggar)
- room key. helps you get back into your room.
- pen. Useful for writing down new travel friends names with the intention of adding them to facebook and vague intention of actually keeping in touch.
-Camera!!!
-1.5L of water. I have pretty much gone through one of these a day. In lots of my photos youll see I am religiously holding one.
- money. Obviously!
-sunglasses.
Other useful stuff that Ive bought:
- nasal spray. Having a blocked nose is so annoying when being travelling and fairly unpleasant for those who have to share my dorm at night. Hahaha
Feel free to use this guide when you embark on your own journeys.
Ill finsih this entry with a w***y, self riteuos quote I saw on the wall of Travel Bar last night. I took a photo of it.
"The world is a book and those who dont travel read only one page".
