Hello!
This
weekend my friend Maddie came to visit from Paris, she is also
studying abroad. I took her to Cien Montaditos for bocadillos and she
was shocked at how loud everyone was. I guess living here for so long
I am desensitized to the comotion around me; Madrid after all is a
busy city. We went to Gran Via, Chueca, and Malasaña
exploring all the art graffitti and good cheap food. She was only in
town for the weekend because she is spending the rest of her mid-term
break in Dublin but she adored Madrid. In two weeks time I will be
visiting her in Paris and I can not wait! We are going to try and go
to the PITCHFORK music festival in Paris for a day to hear Animal
Collective and The Tallest Man On Earth. My Mom is going to be in
Rome for her birthday and I am infinitely jealous. I've never been to
Rome but I guess my Mom's never been to Paris..so it evens out.
In
other news I am extremely excited for Halloween! Spaniards aren't
100% sold on the dress-up aspect of Halloween but in select
buisnesses you can buy decorations and party goods. Normally on
Halloween I grab a big blanket and curl up to watch horror movies and
pig-out on candy because no one ever comes trick-or-treating at my
mom's house or I take the train to Salem to see some seriously scary
costumes. But this year, I will be seeing Steve Aoki remix some
bangin' tracks in Madrid.
Mid-terms
are finally over and my sister will be in Madrid in less than a
month! I can't wait to show her around SUMC and all the little places
I go to eat, shop, and study.
Take
Care
