Spanish school in Barcelona

January 14-21, 2007

I love this city! I spent one week living with a host family and studying Spanish at a language school.

I met some amazing people during my stay including my multicultural classmates. Out of 10 students there were two blokes from Switzerland, two from Holland, one from New Caledonia, one girl from Italy, one from Canada, one from England and one from the US.

The learning Spanish part was pretty tough and my head hurt for most of the time after day 1. Was that from going back to school for the first time in over 3 years and trying to learn something very difficult? Or was it from experiencing the cultural side of Barcelona?

Highlights – the night life, the sparkling style and class of the locals, all the crazy Gaudi architecture around the city and definitely the 20-25°C weather (compared to the hurricanes in England which blew down our beautiful gum tree).
