My first few weeks in Spain have been really fun. It has been interesting getting to know all the different international students – although everyone in my house, which is called ‘Pinzones’ speaks English, which is not too ideal for practicing Spanish! However it is probably one of the most fun places to live in Salamanca, it reminds me of being back in halls at university!
My accommodation is split into 5 floors with 6 bedrooms on each floor. The university either organizes it, or people can choose to rent here by themselves. One of the first nights I was here, we all had a sushi night on the third floor!
Other days, after class, which for me is 9am - midday, we sometimes go to the park to sunbathe and have picnics (when the weather permits!) One of our Japanese friends Yasu has a fisheye camera – hope he doesn’t mind me borrowing some photos for my blog! xx
After working at parliament, completing my finals and working in an investment bank in Shanghai, in such a short period of space, this was a really good chance to finally wind down and relax a little! University is also going quite well up to now, I feel like I am learning lots, although once I finally settle in properly, I will definitely step up the pace of self study, I think I must be having withdrawal symptoms!
