Already almost at home

Welcome to Salamanca! This is likely to be the most typical picture of this city, but there is good reason for it, this place, the Plaza Mayor, is the most beautiful spot I've come across here so far! It is huge, all the streets around it are pedestrian zones and there are a lot of people there at all times of the day.
"El Reloj", the watch in the middle of the main building you see here, is the meeting point for all students at night before going out. You never have to ask, the answer will always be "nos encontramos a las once y media debajo del reloj" ("we meet at 11.30 underneath the watch") - or later! I have not yet really gotten used to the rhythm of life here (coming back from school around 3.30 pm, have "lunch", do homework, maybe sleep a little, have dinner around 10 and go out hardly ever before midnight - not to speak of coming back really late and having to get up around 8!), but I like the relaxed attitude they all have here!

I have to apologize if my English is a little weird at times, it's so hard to focus on English when you switch languages every

couple of minutes! I'm speaking Spanish, French, German, Swiss German, English

and any possible mixture of all these throughout the day and have the impression that I'm losing my German and English without even improving my Spanish! ;) But it is precisely this extremely multicultural and international atmosphere that makes it all so exiting!

Yesterday evening we had dinner with the other students in our building again, we bought Fajitas and everything to put in and we all sat at a huge table, Brasilians, Swiss, Germans, Belgians, French, Dutch, Portuguese...

Tonight might be fun, there is a lot of talk about what we could do, there's karaoke somewhere, a pijama contest somewhere else (who dresses up in the funniest way wins 50 Euros..), a Mexican Night in again another club - and the greatest thing is, you never pay entrance fees, so it is no problem to change clubs and bars 5 times a night! I'll keep you up to date...
