Great week

Great week, 4 days in Stokholm great scenario to visit with great people, it was a great trip. Stokholm now is in my top 5 of favourite cities in Europe, is a beautiful city and the myth about the sweedish girls is completly true they are gorgeous.

It was the last trip of this erasmus that I done with some friends, it will be sad, Joahana our portuguese girl that was present in all our trips leave us : ( , but we spent all together a great time toureing arround different countries and cities. And we'll go to visit her in Portugal!!

When I came back to Eindhoven, I've recived the visit of one friend that was studying in Gent and one of his friends, it was nice to show them Eindhoven....there isn't too much to see but they like it. Then they invite me to go with them to Gent, it was a fantastic weekend, Gent is a beautiful city a special place where to walk arround and enjoy the streets and the canals, with great places to go to eat and drink. I think is the city that going out at night is the most original and different I've been.

So a great week!

one "sun" I'll never forget...

Obama: 20/01/2009

Today it is an historical day, first afro american president of the USA, that is causeing a strong impact on the African population and all ethnic minorities all over the world. Now we know that "yes we can" is real. Watching the news this morning on CCN I saw a report explaining that Kenyan mothers who had just given birth to their children, baptized them as the new president. Obama is the icon of many people. Is the is the character of the year... and it may be the character of this century...but already haven't done "anything"..we'll see.

Today it is the achievement of an entire people, many African and other ethnic groups they were taken out of their land and now they see the achievements of they "equals rights fights"...that is still current.

And that causes pride. Is a celebration because a new opportunity window is open for all African descentdents throughout the world.

Erasmus first season ends

This week, is a extrange and a sad week becase some friends are leaving Eindhoven ("4ever") and are going back to their countrys, erasmus first season is almost finishing (soon season 2). But on the other hand I'm very glad that I have met really nice interesting people and we've spend great moments that I'll always remember. Eindhoven is not a fantastic city ("ugly", small, grey and dark)...everybody knows that, but all the people that are here are makeing this city a special place (I'm a sentimental LoL).

Athough the world is large is becoming smaller (better communications), so I’m sure that luckily our paths will cross again in the future in other circumstances and environment.

To finish I'll like to put a video of the band "Pasta für Pavel" of my german friend Daniel, he knows that I am his spanish fan number nº1. I'll always remember the great recital that he made in Eindhoven, I was fascinated!

Utrech Tour

Last friday I went to Utrech with 3 great guys, it was a relly nice interesting and funny day. We went to visit the city and the University. It was funny and didactic to make a tour with 3 architects, visiting different buildings, they know how to appreciate buildings and other things...that other "simple mortals" like me...that we don't pay any attention we don't realize.

I must visit other cities here in the Netherlands but currently Utrech is the most beatiful city I've been. Always I've been there I've spend a great time!

Peace: NO WAR

I've decided to make this post to manifest against war and fight. War in Israel & Palestina, war in Iraq, war in Afganistan, terrorism in all the world, Congo Conflict, Russia & Tchechenia, and for all the conflicts I missed, and "don't have" a mediatic impact on the news.

"man is a wolf to man”

My New Hero

I must say thank you to my collegue and friend Xavier Gorronyo, I spend 2 days without my bike....here in the netherlands losing your bike is like losing one leg. But this guy fix my broken wheel!!!! it was not and easy job....but he is a professional is not afraid about risks and difficulties...he is a fighter he is and innovator! He is my new heroe! I'm Thankful for what you've done, good job!

So Superman, Batman & Robin, and other heroes...be aware another hereo is shaping in Eindhoven..his name is "Gorroño, Javier Gorroño" with license to fix bikes!

Perfect Day: Welcom to Siberia!

Oh yesterday I think was my best day in Eindhoven.

1- I had to wake up at 6 o'clock in the morning to study Marketing...yes marketing, I choose this subject because I thought it was going to be easy to pass...I was wrong.

2- At 9 o'clock I decide to go to the university. I take my bike and I start riding...i start listening a strange noise I decide to check the "engine"...OH MY GOD MY WHEEL WAS PUNCHED...so I decided to go back leave my back..and go walking to the university.

3- Walking: walking is not a problem...but here it is! and is a big problem whe outside is full of snow and ice...and dutch cities are not designed to pedastrians, the rail bike where clean without snow...but the sidewalk...was full of ice of snow...so 20 minutes walking in that conditions with a temperature of -8º was the perfect way to start de day. That's the netherlands or is SIBERIA???? I try to make and experiment...so I spit to see if the spit hets froze before before touching the ground...but did'nt happend.

4- University: I arrive to the library where I soppose to meet with my friend and ·marketing collegue" Gorroño, he arrives "late", and we start stududying...he convince me to don't have lunch, that we have to study...the exam was at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and finishes at 5.
5-Starving: the exam was Ok (that's what I hope), but I was starving...is horrible doing and exam starving...and full of mucus and any paper to blow my nose...this kind of uncomftable situations everybody hates.

6-Going home: we went to have some beers to celebrate...we finish the exam...I decided to take the bust to go home...but makeing some estimations, walking to the bus station was more or less like going to my house....so I decide to go home walking....again -10º, snow and ice....when I was walkig through a street whith nobody....just when a girl goes out of his home, I slept and I fall down to the floor.....I didn't get injury....but the best was the reaction of the girl, impassivity (any reaction), you see someone falling in front of you....I don't know you can help...or you can laugh....but nothing. Maybe the cold is also freezing people stimuls and sense of humor....

7- At home:I arrive to my house...freezing outside, sweeting inside...life is full of contasts LOL. The temperature in my house was 28º (hotter than some days in Barcelona during summer) and I can go with shorts....amazing, sometimes I think I live in a Sauna. Currently I'm afraid because with the insde high temperature and the low temperature outside one day I'll open the street door and I'll create a tornado or huracan. If some tornado hits eindhoven...I appologises in advance, I'll try to be carefull.

Conclusion: currently a bike is usless, I need to buy a sledge with some huskys...maybe I can find some in the station. If not I'll go to the supermarket, I'll buy provisions for a month...and I'll stay at home...sweeting... Or the other solution is fixing my bike...but i prefer a sledge or BETTER a SNOW BIKE....

White TU/e, is more beatiful with the snow...white color sutes tu/e.

Oh my god...snow and more snow

Ice skating...amazing a big river (canal) behind my house completly frozen and people iceskating...there is people that enjoys this weather...it sucks LoL
