Una manera nueva de hacer café

He trasladado a un piso nuevo, y aúnque está muy bien y me gusta mucho, faltan algunas cosas. Una de esas cosas es una maquina para hacer café. Sin embargo he encontrado un solución de esta problema:

"Tens panses?"

Yesterday I asked in the store if they had raisins... in Catalan!! I call this PROGRESS. My Catalan skills are finally coming to use.

Gegants en Mörbylånga

En mi pueblo en Suecia, Mörbylånga, también tenemos una cosa que se parece bastante a els Gegants aquí en la Seu. Tenemos una fiesta llamada "Konstnatten" (="Noche del arte"), y en este fiesta también tenemos gegants. No son tan bonitos de l'Ot o l'Urgell, o alguno de los gegants aquí en la Seu, por qué los niños en la escuela los hacen cada año. Pero es una cosa muy chula de todos modos, y os enseñaré unos fotos de esto:

 

Y aquí somos yo y Paulin cuando hizimos máscaras para nuestra proyecto en la escuela:

Primavera en la Seu

Imatges del Sofi

Barcelona (and my first post in Spanish!!)

 This weekend we went to Barcelona to do the whole tourist-thing. I have been to Barcelona before, but only passing through, so to speak. Anyways, so our plan was to go and see Parc Güell and Sagrada Familia (like I said, the whole tourist-thing, not very original). All we ever got around to see, however, was Parc Güell, since we decided to diss Segrada Familia and go and eat instead. No pasa res though, I don't believe in seeing famous sights just because you're "supposed" to see them, we had a great time and I don't think it would have been a lot better even if we had been to see la Sagrada. So, so far so good. However, what happened on the metro on the way back kind of spoiled the whole thing for us. I won't go in to details, but we were robbed. Yes, also very cliché and I have a feeling we kind of brought it on our selves. But still. So I guess now I have really done the whole tourist-in-Barcelona-thing, even the get-robbed part. All in all, I have to say I like it a lot better here, in La Seu.

(Y ahora, intentaré escribir lo mismo en castellano:) Este fin de semana fuímos a Barcelona para hacer cosas turisticas. He estada en Barcelona antes, pero solo "passing through". Iríamos a ver la Segrada Familia, Parc Güell, todas esas cosas muy típicas de Barcelona. Pues, estuvimos en Parc Güell, fue muy chulo, y cuándo veríamos a la Sagrada, teníamos mucho hambre y decidimos que iríamos a comer al lugar. Pero no pasa nada, pienso que no se debe ir a lugares turísticos simplemente por qué se cree que hay que verlos por qué son famosos o algo, pasamos un buen tiempo y no creo que habría pasado mejor si hubiéramos visto la Sagrada Familia. Hasta aquí, todo bien, pero todavía pasó algo mal en el metro cuándo volvíamos. No contaré los detalles, pero nos robaron, y claro era muy mal. Supongo que ahora de verdad he hecho el experiencía turistica, hasta que ser robada. De todos modos, a mí me gusta más aquí, en la Seu.

Noms

I think it's interesting with different names. I have now meat a significant amount of people here in la Seu, and two names that always come back when people introduce themselves are Montse and Urgell. I’m thinking they must be typical for this region. I like the idea that your name can give people an idea of where you’re from. I wonder if people from rest of Spain think of this region when they hear these names.

My name is not very special for Sweden. Kim is probably one of the least specific names out there, you can’t even tell if it’s a boy or a girl. It would be really cool to have a name that were special for Öland, but then again, that would probably be a very ugly name. But at least a name typical for Sweden, like Åsa or Signe or something. But then again, I do like my name as it is, so I don’t know. It was just a thought. 

Coll de Nargó

Today I visited a small village called Coll de Nargó. It had a lot of adorable houses and of course a wonderful view. I love these little mountain villages, I really do. Another thing that always strike me are the roads. You think to yourself that no, of course you can't drive here, the roads are to narrow, no car would fit in there. And just when you're thinking this, a car comes along and passes you easily and smoothly, as if it was the most natural thing in the world.  

I've also been to the Enterrament de la Sardina, which was yeasterday. I have to say that the idea of burrying fishes really appeal to me for some reason, I'm not sure why. But it was fun to see, very chulo. If I understood it correctly, the idea is that you burry the king of the carnival at the end of the carnival to really mark the end of it. And you also burry fishes (sardines) since you can't eat fish after this, only meat. Here are some pictures from that as well:

Correfoc.

It's a funeral.

And then we all ate fish.
