what is it that when you work you have so much on your mind, so many ideas, projects, so much you wanna do but never have time to do, and that when you have all the time in the world you find yoursel...
Wooa. I haven’t had anything to say in ages. False. I thought that being kinda free lately (that is to say unemployed), i would have had plenty of time to write. False. I guess being unemployed...
I haven’t been a really good blogger lately…it’s not that i don’t have time. I just don’t have anything to write about. All i do lately is looking for jobs. But sometime...
SPOILER ALERT, if you read that and were planning on seing New Year’s eve : 1) Don’t read this post 2) Don’t go So I always assumed movies were made to inspire. (and to make money)....
If they were right and December 2012 should be my last month on this earth i think i could look back and be pretty satisfied with what i have accomplished so far. I already realized some of my big dr...
Today was my last day in Madrid. I’m taking the plane back to Paris tomorrow morning. I have no idea how i feel about this. I have, like they say here “sentimientos encontrados”, m...
I find that the spanish language has tones of sayings. Some that are really similar to our french ones, and some that are really new. Such as this one that i learnt today: “what doesnt kill you...
you know this feeling when you’ve been living in a place for a while and you realize that you didn’t even do the tourist stuff? Like i can’t remember the last time i went up the Eif...
Most of you already know that in my mom’s family, we don’t really celebrate Xmas. We have another tradition. On the first weekend of December we meet (the whole 28 of us) at my grandpare...
I don’t think im cheap. I m more the kind of girl who’s gonna indulge herself in buying a new dress or a piece of cake eventhough she shoudln’t…but im not a crazy spender eith...
My family was here last weekend. They arrived Friday and left Monday morning. It was way too short but it was great. I was so happy to see them and show them around. And the weather was amazing. What...
Even the ones that have nothing to do with your culture or country. Such as, Thanksgiving, or Dia de accion de gracia as they say here. I love this celebration. I love how it is centered around 1) fa...
A not so secret garden. On Wednesday some girls from my class invited me to join them to have a hot chocolate at El Jardin Secreto not far from our school. Wooa. it was love at first sight. It’...
When i was a little girl i wanted to be a teacher. Then i went to highschool and changed my mind. The older i got the less i felt it could be rewarding to be a professor. Students can be such little ...
I have to be honest, since i arrived in Madrid i didn’t really pay much attention to what was going on in politics. But last week there was a big debate between the two most important candidat...
with your best friends. I would say i have a normal amount of friends. I have some really good friends. I have some really special friends. And i have the EMT. How do i even begin to explain the EMT?...
I think i picked the best semester to study spanish in Madrid. Well…not studywise…but “bank holiday” wise. Since i arrived about a month ago…i already had 3 days off and...
So lately i have been sick / and i forgot my camera at Masiel’s last Saturday, hence, the lack of posts. Last weekend i was invited by Masiel at her appartment for lunch. We met on Couch Surfi...
One of the speciality here is “chocolate con churros”. I’m all for it. But the thing is, after years of Angelina‘s wonderful hot chocolate, i really think it will be hard to ...
On Sunday, i decided to check out the “Salon del Chocolate” i had read about earlier that week. Turned out it was pretty small but Claire and i still enjoyed the chocolate fountain (with ...
On Saturday, Claire and I spent the day in Segovia, an adorable town 1h15 away from Madrid by bus. Segovia, just the name makes me feel like i’m entering a fairy tale. It’s on top of a ve...
As far as i’m concerned: “being french”. Don’t know if it’s just a phase but there seems to be some kind of Halloween revival in Europe. At least here in Madrid. We spe...
Ok so i’ve been in Madrid for 3 weeks now. What can i tell you about it, and about spanish people? I’m still learning. But i already noticed some stuff: - spanish people stare. Not just a...
My name is Mo and i’m a shopaholic. It’s true. I love shopping. Not just shopping in general. I couldn’t care less about a pair of pants for example. But when it comes to dresses. I...
Eating Crêpes is a tradition at home. Not only because some obscure ancestors of my dad were born in the region of Bretagne, but because it’s just freaking delicious. It’s one of, if not ...
First day of crappy weather yesterday. But that didn’t stop me. I had decided i wanted to see some places so i went. Under the rain. First stop, the library Escuelas Pias in the Lavapies Bario&...
If there is one thing i need to feel at home somewhere, it is to find a good place to brunch. I think i did. It’s that small café i was in last week, with the second hand books and the odd furn...
Friday night i went out with some classmates. I kinda started realizing how “old” i was cause they were all around 20-22. But hanging out with younger people can be good, they make you tr...
I met Martina 5 years ago in Arkansas where she was also doing an exchange program there, from her university in Austria. We became good friends and after the semester, we spent a wonderful month wit...
Sundays in my family are sacred. Nothing to do with religion here. But everything to do with the passion for “taking it easy” combine with a passion for pastries and bread. Every Sunday w...
