First February Post!




Hey Guys how'r u doing?

It's been a while since I last updated my blog (as always) but with the difference that these last weeks I wasn't procrastinating as usual. I had 5 exams (6 including french but I studied nothing for the later) during the months of january and the beginning of feb. I finished Feb 1st, and I don't really know how well (or bad) I did exactly, however, right now its not something I feel bothered about. Nonetheless, I know I did all my best, so little I can worry or do right now. Anyway just as I finished the last exam, I had my plane already booked, destination: Krakow in Poland. What a funny weekend I spent with my friends Pepeto, Hector & Miguel from my class in the Polytechnic University of Valencia.
To be honest, I drunk a lot during the 4 nights I spent there, and only 1 day was fully touristic, the rest where party and more party (we even started drinking one day at 6pm and finished at 5am at a McDo and still one of my friends still wanted to continue the Fiesta...) Considering that in certain bars, the pint is just 0.70€ as opposed to the 5.50€ with happy hour in Paris... well it doesnt take an accountant to realize that with less u can get more (I mean less money more hungover!), I even treated all of my friend's friends' to Beer, as they where just 13 at the bar (so I did my mental-calculation: 0.70 times 10 persons: 7€ so with 2 more Euros I can get 13 persons, which means 9 euros in total, well I guess it is still less than treating somebody to a beer back in Paris hehe)
I stayed 3 nights in Krakow and 1 in Rzeszow (hope I spelt it right) where my friends are currently undergoing their Erasmus programme (notice how I didnt write they where studying there, hehe!)
Anyway it was an excellent way of disconnecting from the study routine, and to get to know this marvellous country: Poland. I came back to Paris on monday, then went to a couple of classes just to see which ones I liked most, and chose several of them, the following thursday. That same afternoon, my friend Rafa and his gf, where coming to Paris so I left them my flat so that they could safe those days of hotel rooms.
That night I went to my Italian friends' house (Fernando, 2 Elenas and Marco) and the following day, friday, Simon ( the Dutch guy) had organized a surprise party to his gf: Aloma (from Barcelona), so we rented 2 cars, and head to Normandie at a magnificient Rural-House in the Campagne, just 5 km off the Beach. We had a nice dinner (Blanca from Zaragoza cooked with the aid of the rest) and at night we had some Polish Vodka that both Jan (from Poland) and I had brought. He even played the guitar during the night which was really cool, (and I remembered the Fallas when I lightened the fire!) jeje.
Saturday, I had to come back to get my keys from my friend Rafa, but the rest stayed in Normandie, so I got a train by myself but it was really cool, a 2.30h route, looking at the landscape. That night, my friend Rafeta, treated both his gf and me, to Moules et Frites (that is Mussels with French Fries) and today they left, so I did some vacuum-cleaning, laundry, dishes, and organized the following week as classes start now for Real.

PS: Pictures: 1st dusk in Krakow, with Wisla River, next: Cathedral in Wawel, Main Plaza: Rynek Glowny, Oldest Church in Poland, and Entrance to Wawel "Kontrola"!
