It’s like I’ve traveled back in time – alarm goes off at 7:45 every morning, then breakfast and off to school… CRAZY :)
The school is pretty nice though, 4 teachers for about 12 students. The last 2 days I even had private lessons. Nevertheless it’s quite hard. All this grammar I never completely understood in German or English…
Also, there are 3 Germans which make talking Spanish to them even harder :)
I also got to know the local food already. I ate something unidentifiable (like the famous meat sticks) at the mercado two days ago and this meant I had to spend the whole afternoon in bed. Every movement made me sick – weak European body!
Need to get used to it sometime :)
Today we went to Mitad del Mundo or the equator. And for those how don’t believe in the coriolis force, I saw an impressive example today…
In between of just 6m the water went down a sink clockwise on the northern hemisphere, then straight on the equator and counter clockwise on the southern hemisphere. They also said you can’t balance an egg on the equator – I seriously doubt I can do it anywhere :)
Last but not least, especially for Philip and Thomas:
Got sunburned today :)
cheers,
alex
Hey!
AntwortenLöschenSchule klingt komisch...aber dauert ja nicht so lang, oder? Zwei Wochen hast gesagt, glaub ich. Bin schon gespannt, wie gut du dann effektiv Spanisch kannst - dann wird der Blog hoffentlich 3-sprachig geführt ;-)
Und noch was, wer ist wir? Wir - die Hostfamily oder wir - die Schüler? ;-)
Lg (die Tasche ist btw immer noch nicht da - und ich glaub, würd ich mich beim Essen anpassen, würds mir gehen wie dir) ;-)
Nice to hear that you're already well done, my skins more like rare to medium 'til now but i guess that will change when we're going to head to the southwest ;)
AntwortenLöschenhey alex!
AntwortenLöschengreat to hear from you!!
school sounds like a pain in the ass..at least the getting up-part. ahhh and fuck grammar - i don't think i've ever completely undestood it myself. you won't need it, you just gotta practice! so keep speakin' spanish :P also to those german folks!
you know, i always thought the thing with the draining water also had to do with the shape of the sink and stuff.. but i suppose there really is something to it. ;) oh hey, and you can balance an egg anywhere - you just gotta prepare it right ^^
