Which had fantastically helpful staff and amazingly comfortable beds, and believe it or not we found somewhere to watch the Newcastle v Sunderland derby! It was in a bar ( Wayne's Bar. Similar to Hooters but nowhere near as sleazy, sitting across from two Mackems (boo, hiss, boo). We explored Aix-en-Provence as if I was seeing it for the first time again and discovered weird nonsensical art such as this. :. We got caught in a few apocalyptic rainstorms, rode the Subway across Marseille to visit le Bol.

Come with me now on a journey through time and space. As I describe to you (through the magical medium of mainly photographs) my experiences thus far living in Tarragona. Yippee! I will begin with. food! Because it's one of my favourite pleasures in life and if there's one thing me and my boyfriend, Paul, do best, it's eat. It's our favourite pastime. Glad I've branched out with the ol' taste buds. As well as boasting some of the most succulent seafood around, Spain has shown me how something as simple a...

Image taken from Google Images. From my private journal (it was quite hard for me to post it) detailing my thoughts right before I left England on subjects such as saying goodbye to people you know and what you might be like at the end of your year abroad etc. etc. So, in the post I mentioned above, I asked a question which went something like "Who will I be at the end of my year abroad? A lot of things, some of them being:. I'm a home bird (as my friend Emily described me one day). I love my boyfriend m...

Travels of a Polyglot: April 2013

La Diada de San Jordi. That's St. George to all you non-Iberian folk. He's the patron saint of Catalonia and I was lucky enough to arrive back in Spain the day before the 23rd of April to see how they celebrate his day. El poble català. Celebrate la diada de San Jordi. A lot more than we English do, which is basically not at all, but if we were to celebrate it as much as we celebrate St. Patrick's Day, I doubt it would be in any way similar to how the Catalan do it. Geordies, get it, Jordis. But anyway, ...

I've taken it upon myself to read as much about France and Spain and the differences between both of their cultures and the British culture before I depart, so I don't get too much of a "culture shock" when I arrive in either country. I haven't been able to find any books concerning Spain/Britain culture as of yet, but here are the few I've read over the last couple of weeks concerning France/Britain. Such as replying with "moi". When your waiter asks "qui est l'onglet? Although politically and historica...

http://polyglottravels.blogspot.com/2013/06/money-matters.html
Another huge factor (other than those such as accommodation. So, on to the advice. First of all, I would like to dedicate a whole section of this blog post to Student Finance because they are just such a, let's say, poignant part of any student's life that I think they deserve that honour. Anyway, I have a lot of gripes about Student Finance as a company as I'm sure we all do and I would love. To moan on about them for ages, but that would probably just make you angry and not. Try all avenues -. If you a...

When they say "you'll experience it all," they mean you'll experience it all. Something happened yesterday that I have to write about before things completely escape me and I run the risk of typing a mediocre memory of what happened. It has to be written about before I write about anything else on this blog. It could be long, so, get a cup of tea and get comfortable. And went out to see a film with my friends. I woke up this morning to find this on the kitchen bench:. Carey, voici pour toi -. Which I gue...
