Caca en la calle

"Poop in the street."

I've entitled this entry as such because it is something that we sevillanos deal with every day. In addition to dealing with poop in the streets, there are many fun little things I experience and/or witness from day to day.

- yogur a sabor de limón

- I can finally help clean up the table after meals!

- running along the river at night

- understanding subjunctive (más o menos)

- learning about the Spanish perspective on bull fights (as opposed to the American's depiction of the Spanish perspective)

- "Frick'n Javier"

- Helado...and the nice guy who lets us try the flavors!

- walking

- speaking Spanish with Spanish students

- interviewing my host family about sports....and my sister being SUPER excited to help

- having more than one library in my university

- cheap textbooks!

- Skyping friends

- a car full of cute old nuns...best thing ever!

- coming home after class to a house full of sleeping people, with nothing to do but siesta as well

- old buildings

- feeling socially acceptable when I haven't showered

- eating with my family

- Fran and his Spanish friends

- Cine Club

- Alameda

- looking nice almost every day

- new experiences!

  2. Bull fighting is actually quite controversial here! I think I may dedicate an entire entry to it soon, because it's much too complex to write in a comment...and everyone should know about it! ha...Can you tell I'm going to be a teacher by all my educational posts? ha

  3. #1. This is a great post, I'm glad you are learning so much and having a good time. I especially like the tasting of the helado...yum yum yum

    #2. Bullfighting literally makes me sick. I look forward to reading your post on the different perspectives

  4. In high school we talked about the bull fights in Spanish III and watched a video about it (from the Spanish perspective). I still don't think it's great, but it's interesting hearing the other views and opinions of it.
