1st Round

Hi!

4 months in the Netherlands...and is time to go home "home sweet (hot) home", this is the end of the first stage of my eramus experience. In resume I can say that is GREAT, I meet a lot of people, I discover new reallities, and also I learn a lot of things...in the university but a lot more outside travelling and meeting new people from different countrys! What is sad about that is that a lot of people are leaving "soon", we'll miss them, but the memory of them will always be there, and they left a footprint in different ways...maybe I'm too melancholic...

I'm going to spend this days in Barcelona studying but also I want to spend time visiting the city...because I realized that I don't know my own city...so tourism in Barcelona!

Living abroad "alone" has good things...but also some bad things....but luckily the GOOD things are more! I'll must spend more time here, but I know when I'll finish my degree I'll go away to work and travell, there is a big world to discover!

To be continued.....after chrsitmas (exams)

Digital Love

I just want to insert this videoclip... Térence show us the movie "The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem" (Daft Punk) is really nice. If you have the chance try to watch on Youtube or download it from Internet.

Where are you from?

Maybe this is one of the questions I’ve asked more times since I’m here in Eindhoven doing an Erasmus, but also the most people had asked me. The answer is that I’m from Barcelona, from Catalunya and from Spain (I don’t have any independent feeling), but also I must say that I’m from Zimbabwe the country where my father comes from, I’ve never been there but is part of me, and one day I hope I would go there to know where part of my family comes from.

Everybody knows about Barcelona...but most of the people don’t know anything about Zimbabwe…and is not difficult to be aware about it because more or less every week there are news from there in the principal media like BBC or CNN, most of this news are bad & sad…we should pay more attention about what is happening in the world.

So this post is to report to who read it about the "reality" & situation of this country:

- Zimbabwe used to be one of the richest countries in Africa, now is the country of the poor millionaires (hyperinflation 355,000%) 1 bottle beer = cost $100 billion Zimbabwean dollars.
- 60,000 cholera cases currently
- 565 adults and children becoming infected every day with AIDS/HIV
- The lowest life expectancy in the World (34 years for women, 37 years for man)

But luckyly there are plenty of good things....is a beatifull country (Victoria fall's, Ruins ) with and interesting story and a lot of traditions. I hope things will get better....but for the moment it seems difficult, with the current "president" (dictator).

Presentation

Today I participate in my first presentation...oh my god I never recibe that much amount of bad comments about a group work...teachers take out shot guns and started to shoot to our group...it was horrible, it was a massacre. I think they didn't like nothing about our work....I hope not to fail this lecture.... But thinks like this....are experiences that help you to improve they way you work....

But I recognize it was not a very good presentation...and the content was not presented really clear, so just we slip....just the people on the video.
