Habt ihr mich vermisst, die Tage, Stunden und Minuten gezaehlt?

Naja vermutlich nicht.

Anyway and hola de espaniol. Now I will fill my blog with comments from Spain, or more precise from Basque, Bilbao where I’m since Sunday. Now I’m here in a country where nobody speaks English, but anyhow I don’t speak Spanish either. Not even my boss at Siemens VAI where I’m doing an internship for the next 2 months understands me and I don’t understand him.

The city is great, the weather warm and the girls are …… unbelievable, unfortunately not in a good way.

5 things I miss from Texas:

The Girls. I don’t care if their beauty wasn’t real, just bought, they were hot, at least some of them. But here it’s strange I’m now here since more than 4 days. I use the Metro every day during rush hour. But I haven’t seen one who was worth looking after her!!
The exchange rate
I was able to communicate with almost everyone
A couple of people
Have I already mentioned the exchange rate?

5 things I like in Bilbao

Beer even at Burger King. We have the same probably in Austria too, but after 4 months in the Lone Star state this is quite strange for me.
Downtown, Guggenheim, etc. this part of the city is one of the most beautiful city parts I’ve ever seen
The language, even if my Spanish is really bad, I thing I can recognize that it is getting better day by day. And when I was disappointed in London or in Texas when someone wasn’t able to understand me, or I had troubles getting my point across. Here I feel great every time someone understand anything I say. And someday I will be able to understand what my guest family wants from me when they talk to me. I feel like Knecht Ruprecht from the simpsons when homer talks to him.
Public transport. It’s great, I thing they would even like it in Texas. Someone should sell them some. Ahh I forget the can’t afford it anymore, they spend too much money creating enemies in the Middle East.
They people are friendly, at least I thing so I can’t really understand them, the weather is warm and the company buys the lunch (including a bottle of Vino tinto for each table) maybe that’s the reason why they are so friendly

Cheers, Auf Wiedersehn y hasta luego
