Gothic suburb

The old area of the town has a special smell. I like it, because I love to walk around old streets to imagine the history and the life of the other people who lived there when life was more difficult , without transport, without fridge , water running …You can visit the big Cathedral and know how many years were needed to finish this building and all the different political situations in those years. All the streets around shows the typical historical houses with the changes of the progress .We can go to windows shopping and while we smell, imagine and enjoy this special town. You can found many different kinds of restaurants and many kinds of people. Different nationalities, artists, beggars, executives….The great mix in a little town into a big town. Gema.17/01/08

Introducing myself

Hi, I have been told to write a little introduction about myself as an activity. So here it goes:

Hi, I'm Dani, from Barcelona. I'm 19 years old and I'm studying in CFA Lluis Castells. I weight 65kg and I'm 1,75m tall, average I'd say, I don't really care about looks. I usually wear jeans and jackets, nothing fashion, I hate fashion; if it fits me well I wear it.

The thing I like to do the most is playing videogames. I love videogames, specially the first person shooter ones. I've been playing online videogames for five years, just for fun. I also like being competitive while I play. I like learning new languages, as you can see my English is decent and I'm proud of it. I learned mainly talking to other online players in online videogames (voice and chat while playing), watching movies in original version and reading Dragonlance books, never studied it... well I did study it in the school but it was really basic. The best of learning a language is when you realize that you can read, speak and understand everything. I'd like to learn Hungarian, French, Finnish, Swedish, Dutch and german. I KNOW it would take A LOT of time so I will just begin with the easy ones step by step.

The place I would like to travel to is Hungary or Belgium.

In the future I'd like to work on anything related to graphic design or industrial design. I'm really into computer design, I liked it since I started coding my own websites in html 6 or 7 years ago. I recognize that I slacked a lot in the past, I'm really lazy but I decided to rush in order to accomplish what I want.

That's all, Rius.

See you tomorrow.
