Party even more in Ljubljana when you have exams

Helo folks!

It's been a while since the last post, but I haven't found the right time to update the blog with all the stuff going on.

I must say, these past days have been quite good, partying as usual, but the difference is that I am in my faculty exams period... yeahh, and I am really coping with the exams with some partying around, I know, a little bit crazy, but I think we all Erasmus are in the same situation. (The best way to make room for more studying session is to drink more to kill  weak neurons).
Let me share with you something. 27.01 Thursday night, beers and Companeros club, arrival time to Rozna, 5am in the morning.. 3 hours of sleep, and... baaaaam! exam at 9am.. the best thing of it is that even tired as hell, I managed to pass the exam, with an 6.3... yeeey!! (6.3 punto gracias, here in Ljubljana the minimun grade to pass an exam is 6.0).
And of course, to celebrate the achievement, more partying and more beers in Rozna, Holidays Pub, a little bit of Orto and Ultima...

Partying before the exam on Friday morning..
(btw, the proffesor told me 2day that she recommends to take the exam again to achieve a greater grade... 'I will take it into account' I said, in other words, na nai.)

Anyway, u might think that I am crazy, but what else can I do ? you always need to disconect a bit from the studying, so why not going out to "refresh" yourself.

However, I still have to more exams to finish, after the one I did today, Management and EU Economics are on the agenda for Wednesday morning, so what do I have to do now? that's rigth... Hajde da Ludujemo! (Let's go crazy)  Tonight is going to be the last Parlament night for many Erasmus, and I am not going to miss it for nothing in the world...

On the next post I'll try upload more pictures and describe in detail the places to party here in Ljubljana.
Until then, se vidimo prijatelji !

1 abrazo!

it's time for Mus baby

Hello folks,

After a long long week since I got back here from Ljubljana, there has been time for studying, partying and also mus. For those who don't know what is mus, it's a must-know Spanish card game, specially for college grads, what else would we do while in college... play mus of course.
what is Mus (card_game) tand the roles

Toma Solomillo

4 months already in LJU and I haven't found enough people to play, (4 people needed), but recently we discovered that 2 Madrilian girls staying here in the city loves playing, so from now one, more mus-timbas (mus sessions) will be held.

Really, it may sound stupid how fiercely I was looking forward to play Mus, but it reminds me a lot of my freshman and sophomore days of college,.

Anyway, since I found enough people to play, on the first night we started at 3am in the morning and stayed until 7 in the morning, with some previous drinking times of course.. lol what's worse of it it that on that Saturday night I slept only 3 hours and then I went to play football, so imagine how was I .. but finally I managed to stay fresh and give everything for the match, (a tope a tope).

Well, and the second time I played was yesterday, pizzas, beers, and lots of muss!!! and again, hours and hours of mus playing.

I know that this is not a well defined post of my everyday life while in Erasmus, but I had to write a post about this.

One of these following days I will write a little bit more about other 'stuff'.

Adijo !

Ready to rock Ljubljana again

Hello fellas!

Here I am back in Ljubljana, after spending an amazing 2 weeks X'mas holidays in Madrid, with my family and friends, eating like I haven't in years, specially to the delicious dishes my dad prepares, so I can say my stay in Madrid was very good, I got the chance to meet almost all my friends, I am sorry for the changes of plans and dates, but I tried really hard to fit my schedule to yours in order to see the most of u possible.

So after the holidays, it was time to go back to reality, the stuying and the routine, that's why I flew back to Ljubljana via Paris on the 6th.. for those Spanish who read my blog, yeahh it's so sad that I have to travel on 'el día de Reyes' . But I am not a child anymore and there are some choices that have to be made (opportunity cost the economicst call it) . Anyway, even though it was sad to travel on this special day, I did my best to carry with me a 'roscón' for the occasion, which I succeed, coz it got to Ljubljana safe and tasty, and I shared it with my mates with a coffee.

What else can I say, the trip was pretty good, the flights were on time but the Ljubljana one, altough it got delated 30 minutes, it just arrived 10 minutes later than scheduled. Since I was travelling with Easy Jet, no meal were proveded for free, so I brought with me a sushi box lunch with lobster, delicious btw. And in Paris we went to the Starbuck to have a nice breakfast with pancakes included!! lol

Now that I am back, many new years deals were made, so I'll try my best to fulfill the propositions.

I miss u a lot guys!! see u in Madrid around April !!

Goodbye 2010, you've been amazing

Hello fellas!!

These past days have been amazing, having delicious meals, celebrating the pre-Christmas eve in la Puerta del Sol, doing lots of shopping and of course having great time with my friends, those from the IB and from the UC3M. With these last I have a cool anecdote to share with you, today we went to have a coffee after lunch in a cafeteria, by the time we wanna leave, the waitress ask us if we wanted some free Churros con Chocolate, and later she offered us bocadillos and tortilla de papatas, isn't she nice?

Today is the very last day of the year 2010 ! a year full of adventures, trips, remarkable moment, and full of changes.

I haven't changed myself indeed, but I did change a little bit my life, I packed my stuff and moved to Ljubljana for an exchange student programme for the whole academic year (get ready Ljubljana coz Milo is coming back in a few days!!), where I met lots of very nice people from Spain,  Europe and the rest of the world. Thank to you I have learned mor about your culture, about your traditions, I am so glad that you are part of my life, a part of my transition trough life.

I want to thank also for the amazing Slovene friends I made in Ljubljana, and for making me feel that I am part of your country and culture, I'll try this upcoming year to learn more of your language, coz it's freaking difficult!!

Anyway, I could stay the whole evening telling you about how amazing this year was, but that would be too boring, even for me.

To end up this last post of the year, I wish you all have a wonderful 2011, a year full of happiness and amazing adventures.


      HAPPY NEW YEAR !
      Srečno Leto 2011!
      Bonne année 2011!
      新年快乐
      Felice Anno Nuovo 2011

Living la vida with sun in Madrid

Hello fellas!!

Left Ljubljana for almost 1 week already, and I am kinda missing it, but I am also having lots of fun here in Madrid. 

As I said in the previous post, right after I arrived to Madrid, I inmediately gathered with IB friends, on the following day more tapas dinner in El Olibo with the people from uni, with whom we organized a 'secret santa'. Lovely evening I must say, nice dinner, cool presents and the perfect company.

The next day I was supposed to meet more friends from uni, but I apologize for not being able to attend, (I was so sick..), but now I am fine and ready to keep partying!! 

This leads me to talk about Christmas eve, well, having already celebrating the venue for 21 years already, it seems to me that is another regular day, I mean, still special coz I can meet all my friends and family. and have alltoguether a huge dinner with tons of delicatessen, entrées, sushi etc... but it stills one more day. 

hmmm... what else can I say... well I remember going out that morning to do some x'mas shopping, which I really enjoyed btw, among all the presents bought, I also got some pretty thing for myslef. lol

As I was saying, beside of the amazing dinner, I didn't do anything else, just some chitchatting and playing some boardgames.  

During the next day, that is the 25th, me and my parents went out for lunch with some far far really far relatives that happend to be in Madrid... so we had lunch with them, and pretty much that for that morning.. 

But the evening, well, that was much more fun, I was going to meet Alfonso, Laura and Jaime, the funny part is that I've never seen them before in town, but in Slovenia, so it was kinda good strange feeling meeting here in Madrid, even being all of us Madrilians.

And guess what we did, walked around the Plaza Mayor and go to have some sangria and tapas.

This is all I've been doing these past days.

Allow me to say a few more words, I wish u had a lovely Christmas with all your friends and family, and hope you have a fantastic new year's eve and the best for this upcoming 2011.

The odyssey of travel from Ljubljana to Madrid

It is time to say goodbye to Ljubljana for 2010 and spend the rest of the year in Madrid.

The fact itself it's not interesting, but how long was the travelling deserves a blog post.

After the fantastic weekend, partying, chatting, and drinking homw made kuhano vino.. yess!! We made Kuhano Vino ourselfs for the first time with red wine and some prepared flavour, it tasted quite well, and our Anja also liked it, so we can confirm that wasn't bad at all, next time we'll make it even better.

What I was saying, that night I didn't sleep enough coz the next day I had class.adding the fact that during the trip I didn't sleep either I arrived to Madrid with only 8 hours of sleep in 2 days, fever and coughing like hell, and I'll explain why,,,

On Monday night I decided to not to sleep till the departure of the train to Monfalcone, but instead go to Parlament Pub and party the last time in Ljubljana, by 1:30 we went to have the last mesni burek of the year (at least for me) and then head to the central station. The train departed at 2:28 sharp, but due to some techinical porblems during the journey, it stopped several times, but not big deal, we arrived to Monfalcone 20 minutes later than stipulated. Later on we cought a bus to Trieste airport from the city (after walking like 15 minutes...). Since out plane was scheduled for 9:10, and we arrived there around 7 ,we decided to go and grab some breakfast till it was time to board

For the 2 hours travel from Trieste to Valencia I slept like half of the way, coz you know how annoying is Ryanair with its advertisement at high volume during the travel...

So 2 hours of plane, and tadaaa!!! we finally got to our homeland Spain!! but for some of us ti was the final point of travel, but for the rest (aka me and 2 others) had to stay few more hours to catch the next flight, for me to Madrid. While waiting I managed get some sleep, but due to the hard seats fo the airport I couldn't sleep much, so I turned on the laptop and watched some episodes of TBBT.

Around 4pm my flight took off and after 1 hour landed finally in Madrid, where my lovely mom was waiting for me.

By know u can imagine why I didn't sleep that much on my way home, but that doesn't matter even I was hell tired, I went at 9:00pm to Sol where I was going to meet my long time friends for dinner and do some chit chatting like we are used to...

For those who were wondering If I am feeling better, yess indeed! I woke up this morning feeling terrific, thanks to the drugs and 10 hours of sleep... lol

Celebrating the 21st birthday in Ljubljana

Regarding the title of the post, u may imagine what's the post about.. yeahh this is the celebration of my 21st B'day... 

I can't thank u enough for being such good friends and thanks for the fantastic 2 days celebration!! 

Despite of the inconvenience of moving from restaurant to restaurant because none of them accepts reservation during these days, so after 3 shots, we end up finding a Thai restaurant in Rimska Cesta (Thai Inn Pub), which the food wasn't that good.., but with the simple company of all of you was enough.. 

but it also happened a irregular thing, it turned out that in the restaurant there was going to be a karaoke night, so instead of going to Companeros right after dinner, we stayed in there to sing a couple of songs, like 'Umbrella' with Eva, Hajde Da Ludujemo with Miha, Anja and Claudia, and a couple of more songs with Marte and Alfonso, among others. 

What was really fun is that I was singing a Croatian song, and some Serbians got so surprised that they end up inviting me to some Rakia shots... imagine how was I after that... 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRa-GmoAnfM, does this song sound familiar to u Alfonso ? grande grande ehhh!! 

Well, after a couple of drinks and more singing, we left and head to Companeros, what can I say about it... it is always a great place to party, as usual, we received free tequila shots from Anja.

Dancing our souls out till 4am or smthg, but we decided to go back home coz we've been out the whole day... (yeahh we had class in the morning and then we went almost straight to party party!! )

The next day, it was the official b'day date (17th of December), which is the same date as Edu, so depsite of the little hang over, we 3 went to have lunch in Emonska, and later on we went to eat a home made cake by Adri y Rosi, really yummy btw.

The rest of the evening was quite relaxing, went to BTC, did some shopping and bought the stuff to make Kuhano Vino.. 

After that we went to have some beers with Andres and Adrian, and later on we end up in Orto Bar, where the music is always good, at least for me (Indie session on Friday nights, this is for u Draisis, if u ever come to LJU , this is a must place to go!). 'Rollo desgarbado pero elegante con un toque vintage'

We didn't stay long, some of us were tired, we started partying from Wednesday, so we went back home, with all the snow falling. to Rozna Dolina coz there weren't any metro taxis in the city... at least not free ones.. (my jeans ended up frozen, yess forzen, coz of the snow and the coldness..)

Well, as long as I can remember, this was all, again, thank u so much for the fantastic bday. It would not have been the same without u guys!

Thanks again, Hvala Lepa!! vi ste najboljši !!
