!Qué tiempo de mierda!

They say it rarely rains in Barcelona! Then it seems I came dancing the rain-dance, because I have only seen the sunlight for a few hours during the last two days. On the other hand, they also say it never snows in Athens, but still I left my home town almost covered in snow.

So it seems, the earth has gone crazy. What used to happen rarely becomes customary and what was customary now only appears out of the blue. This it my friends…

Global Warming – Global Warning

Nothing more to do than sit and wait for the sun to come out again. And just think I am starting work from tomorrow. For the time being watching the palm trees bending from the wind and listening to some funny, jumping music, from a Spanish band called, La oreja de Van Gogh. If Vincent had his ear on he would not be dissapointed to listen to them. It sounds so much more joyful than what the lyrics say.

“Like the paintings that are waiting to be hanged upon the wall…
…like the tablecloth after yesterday’s dinner”

Well, I am still hoping for the sun tomorrow

Intro


Hola!
Hi everybody,
This is my blog on my days in Barcelona.

I have only arrived here yesterday, it's the third time I am visiting the city but things now seem to be a little more permanent.

While my main intention is working "hard" on the research sector, I have promised myself to keep up with the great number of interesting activities going on.

So...

Stick around to watch how life flows in this city, proud to call herself the cultural capital of Southern Europe.
