Today is Sunday October 29.

We left from Munich for Valencia (Wednesday October 26) at 1 in the afternoon, drove through Switzerland, France and then into Spain, arriving in Valencia 17 hours later at 6am.

Since we got here we have mostly been spending our time getting Christian's newapartment suitable for living. Tomorrow the refrigerator will arrive! This means that we don't have to eat out every night... which always seems to end up going out for a "few" drinks afterwards.

I haven't seen many of the main tourist attractions here, but I have seen a lot of the culture. Just after a 17 hour drive everything the difference between Munich and here is obvious... order is replaced by liveliness/chaos.

  • Like the rest of Spain everything happens a few hours after I expect it - lunch is at 2, dinner is at 9-10- I am always hungry.
  • Traffic rules don't seem to exist...stopping at red lights is optional. The lines on the streets seem to disappear when you most need them.
  • One thing I really like is how many people are out and about on the streets.The center of the city was still packed with people when we left at around 4am.
  • There is also a tradition here of lighting of fire crackers on the streets - first time I heard it I really thought we were under attack, but no one else seemed to flinch.

Today we had dinner with Christians family - I think there were 14 of us. Not only was the food totally delicious, but it wasalso a great experience to see the Spanish culture in action. It is a total pity that I can't understand Spanish, but even if I did, I don't think that I could keep up with the hundred different simulations conversations. It was really a great time.

Ok, so far that is all. I am going to try to learn a bit of Spanish while I am here, and then try to figure out where I am going next.
