Last summer: InterRail trip (part 2) Now I'm going to continue the story where I left it before. We arrived to Munich very early in the morning so we decided to head up to the hostel, left the backpacks there and went to see the city until we they finished prepearing our room, because we where really tired and we were craving to take a nap. After a while we deciced we were too tired to walk around the city so we come into a bar to take a some beers and rest until we can get into our room. The beer was great and also not too expensive considering that we were in Germany. When our room was finally prepared we discovered we have an empty 6 beds-room for the 3 of us! That was like heaven to us. I took maybe one of the best naps ever. Later on, that evening we head up to the city center to finally see something when we discovered that our keys didn't match with the door lock of our room. We talk with the receptionist about it and she told us that we had mistaken the number of the room. We could enter there because the door was wide open but obviously the keys she gave us didn't match that room. So we moved to our designated room and we met a 10-bed room full of people, two of them very drunk and other one snoring quite loud. Also there was a bunch of opened bottles in the floor and a disgusting smell all over the place.Shocked about the situation we left our things in a couple of beds and we left the place trying not to think about it. So we head up too the city center and after we had seen all the touristic places, we walked around the city. It was really nice, and we discovered some great bars (which I think they call "Brauhaus") like the "Hofbräuhaus". This was also a very touristic one and the atmosphere was unique, like a traditional Munich Brauhaus. And they also served 1 litre glasses of pure german beer! Amazing! So when we finish our route we had to cope with the fact that we had to rest in that lousy room. We arrived there and I discovered that someone was already sleeping in my bed. I didn't know what was going on there so I went to speak with the receptionist. She apologized about that and offered to give us a new room. We agreed, so we moved to our new room to discovered that once again, but this time for real, they gave us an empty 6 beds-room only for us! I felt like we had won the lottery. You can't imagine the relief. And for now I think this is enough because I'm running out of words in the notebook input, so I'll continue the next time. Have a nice day! Have a nice day!

Last summer: InterRail trip (part 1) This last summer I went, with two other friends, around Europe in an InterRail trip. First stop was in Bern. We decided to go there because the flight between Madrid and Bern were cheaper than the ones that went to the other destinations we'd chosen. We saw the city carrying our bags all day long with a surprisingly hot weather, so at the first opportunity we had, we sat down in a bar terrace to have some cool beers. After a few more beers we asked for the bill, and then we had the second surprise of the day. 5 Francs for a beer! (1 franc has more or less the same value than a euro) That was quite expensive for a limited budget. We spent the rest of the day walking around. It was a nice city but very expensive in my opinion. That night we took a train to Munich. We decided to sleep in the train to avoid paying a hostel. And I think this is enough for the moment. I'll continue another day. Have a nice day! ;)

Self-imposed task: Writing about autumn. Like every year, autumn has come (long time ago from now) and with it the cold and the rain. It’s ok for me, because I’ve always like cold weather and rainy days, especially those when you can stay at home warmly. But also I love the beginning of the cold seasons because it means that all heat is gone. I know that is obvious but what I meant is that in Spain heat during summer can be very annoying, to the point that sometimes is nearly unbearable to stay far away from any air conditioning during midday. Also I think is a kind of beautiful season, with all the leaves along the streets and is a good moment to do some sport outside, because is neither hot nor cold. So I think I’m going to enjoy the rest of the season but always knowing that winter is coming… (sorry I’ve had to do this joke). Bye!

A brief introduction of myself (well maybe not so brief). My name is Raúl Allende, I’m 25 years old and I’m from Madrid, Spain. I recently finished my degree in chemistry and I’m now looking for a job. I’m currently trying to improve my English level, in one side, because I’m trying to pass the FCE that would make finding jobs easier. In the other side, I’m trying to improve my English as a personal motivation, due to almost everything is in English (like some of the best movies, almost all the good music and a huge amount of information in the internet) but also because it makes much more easier traveling abroad. To say something more about me I would say that I love music in almost all the exiting genres (standard rock, psyschedelic/progressive rock, jazz, blues, soul, electronic…), I also love watching movies (classical and actual ones, I like both) and reading (Wilde and Bukowski are some of my favorite writers). I also like to do exercise in my spare time to keep healthy. And, well, I thing that’s all I can say about me at the moment. If you are still reading this and you want to learn Spanish and/or help me to improve my English I’ll be happy to talk with you. Have a nice day ;)
