Hola!
It really does seem that I have become a blogging-nerd, but hey, when life's circulating around calling Spanish-non-English-speaking people about apartments and going from complete hopefulness and complete distress, it may not be such a huge surprise.
So what’s new? Well, we didn’t get that apartment in the end as the girl didn’t dare to live with us. (They said she was afraid to be left out because we were two and she one, but the real reason was probably that we didn’t speak much Spanish…). Oh well, that’s life. We’ve called almost 30 people about apartments and rooms in apartments and no luck. But then we decided to go to some apartment-renting offices and got to see a quite nice, although expensive, 2 bedroom-apartment that we are currently considering taking. It would be only us living there and it looked okay interior-wise.
Also we were woken up this morning because they were going to change the beds in our room! Crazy one, but we can at least stay without any problem which is a good thing. The apartment, by the way, the one that we’re currently considering, is located only a couple of streets from our hostel. So we already would know our way around…
Otherwise we had some crazy difficulties yesterday finding a place to eat dinner at. It seems Mondays are a slow day and the only places that are open are either really expensive or tapas bars. In the end we found a hamburger joint and my God! It was probably the worst hamburger I’ve ever had! Sol had some problems keeping hers together and so we got a well-needed laugh. But for sure we’re never going back, it was worse than McDonald’s and Burger King. Then you might understand how bad it was.
After that we went to the Dublin Bay, an Irish pub which looked good from the outside (and the inside). Since my Dublin-days I do love Irish pubs abroad, because you can always be sure that you can get a good pint of beer and generally it is possible to order in English. This time, though, that wasn’t possible. I don’t know how difficult it can be to understand “A pint of beer please”. I mean it’s not like I’m talking about science or politics, I’m asking for a beer! Oh well, it’s just to get used to it I guess.
We’ll see where our hungry stomachs and thirsty mouths will bring us tonight. And soon there will be pictures here as well...
