The way of Saint James
The Way of Saint James
Last year I decided to do St James Way by bike. It took me one week to cover the 700 km that separates my city from Santiago. It was a great experience; I could see a lot of places and landscapes. I used to get up very early in the morning at 5:30 AM because it’s very hot in Spain in June and I had to do so many kilometers each day (I only had one week off). Normally people do it on foot in one month from Roncesvalles and the average per day is 30 km but you also can do by bike as me.
The Way of Saint James has its start point in France and finish in Spain in Santiago de Compostela, it’s 900 km long more or less (I can’t remember the exact distance right now), there are thousands of pilgrims who do the way, some of them for religious causes, others looking for adventure holidays… but for everybody is a great experience to remember. You can meet people from all over the world and all ranges of age, all the nationalities are represented in the Way: French, Corean, Italian, Japanese people… some of them are Catholics others not but all of them enjoy the way.
I suppose they have so much fun because it’s so different to all the things they usually do in their life-stiles, as the only purpose on the day is get up early, eat, find a pilgrim hostel, walk and enjoy the nature, cities and villages you visit, you don’t need to think in anything, just walk.
In short, in my opinion it’s such a great experience! and I recommend to do at least once in a lifetime.

Internet
Nowadays, the e-commerce is growing very quickly. Each day more and more people decide to buy their new mp3, TV, cameras, flights, etc through internet. Sometimes I ask myself if the big supermarkets will have future as we know actually. The older people continue buying in these shops but in the future I think these businesses will have a drop in their sells because of the competence of the e-commerce. From my point of view, in the future buying through internet will be even safer and easier than it’s now.
The changes are happening slowly but I think Internet is changing all ours ways of life, now you can access immediately to a lot of information and learn from your house without go to the library, learn things that before very few people could had teach you. Also people are more confidents about travelling to other faraway countries because they can read lots of opinions and actual information of other travelers.
Of course Internet has many cons and pros but I think it’s an extraordinary educational tool, in special for the most needed countries where they don’t have universities, appropriate teachers, schools… but the problem is that there is much population without internet access yet.

Travelling
There are so many places I'd like to travel.One of my favourites places would be Perito Moreno in Argentina and Prague.I hope I can visit these places soon but I need more holidays!! heheh. But I can't complain so much because I've been lucky and I could visit places as Machu Picchu, Tititaca lake, Uyuni's salt dessert, Atacama's dessert, Rome, Florence,Istanbul,London...and in October I'm visiting Singapore, Angkor Wat, and some rainforest in Thailand.I can't wait to begin my travel because It's a destination very different from all the other places where I have been before.I expect to meet new people, taste new flavours,take good pictures and Know stunning places but so different place as Singapore or Angkor Watt.

A sunny day
The last 4 days it was cloudy in my city, yesterday it was even cold, only 18 degrees.But today the sun has decided to come back again, and the sky is absolutely blue right now, and there isn't any trace of clouds.The gardens are crowded of people walking their dogs, and children playing football.The terrace of the bars are full of people too.The temperature is also very nice today it's 24, but I think in the afternoon it will rise till 27.I really like these days specially at the weekends!

Films
My favourite film is The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. This film was directed by Sergio Leone, I think he was an Italian director, and the main theme of the film was played by Ennio Morricone, he’s an Italian compositor if I’m not wrong. Clint Eastwood stars the film, this actor is from U.S. The film it’s really long ,like 3 hours more or less, but I really enjoy watching it (I’ve seen it for 5 times),so for me it’s a masterpiece.
There’s another big film of this director which I like so much Once upon a time in America, starred by Robert de Niro. It’s a very long film too.
Other films I like are: Ben-hur, Platoon, Spartacus (I’m not really sure about this film title in English, it’s Espartaco in Spanish) it’s a history about a slave who reveals against the Roman Empire.
My friends some times laugh at me because I like these old films and when we want to go to the cinema they tell me I can’t choose any film because there aren’t any Charles Chaplin films being showing.
I like actual films too as: Matrix, The Lord of the rings, Seven, Usual suspects, Django, Into the wild, etc.
But, in general, I think the film industry was much better before than actually. Now there are so many new movies each week but many of them are really bad films, at least in my opinion. These films have great and spectacular digital effects but the movie is not telling any history, it’s just a show of special effects.

I don´t like my job
There are some days specially on Mondays,when I get up, and I told to myself how I hate my job!
I work as accountant in a big German company established in Spain, but sometimes I think I'd like to send my job to Hell, and work as bike messenger in London.Just me and my bike!
I know it´s a crazy idea because it´s another country, it's a hard job, London it's so rainy but I really enjoy riding my bike.
All the weekends I use to go with my friends in the surroundings of my city, usually we ride for 60 km (sometimes we have done even 100 Km if we have planned an special route)if we take the MTB, or 80 when we take the racing bike.
I enjoy much more with MTB because you cab go trough the forest and see incredibles landscapes.I like specially in winter when it's snowy in the mountains, people call us crazy men, but they are in their houses looking trough the windows because it's cold out there but we're really enjoying and it´s no so cold. As we get hot very quiqly with the exercise, and we wear special winter clothes for cyclism, in special for the feet (always boots with goretex materials for winter), and hands.Instead in summer we only wear a maillot because it's so hot.
Definetly I prefer the winter for biking!

Trying to remember
Ten years ago I decided to go to Edimburgh, I was living there for seven months.
I wanted to learn english and I was working there as kitchen porter as many other spanish because Scotland is an expensive country.It was a nice experience, the city was woderful,the job was a shit but I didn't care I only wanted to have the experience in another country and learn some english, so I was happy with that.
If the weather allowed it, in the weekend, we used to spend the money travelling, and having some beers of course! If we weren't travelling in the weekend we meet with scottish friends to play football in the Meadows.The match used to be the Spanish against the Scottish, we were so many Spanish working there!!
I'm sure I improved a lot in just seven months, when I left Scotland I didn't speak great but when I arrived there I was only capable to say some words as "hello, yes,not,bye,I want it" and little more.
But now, so many years later I've forgortten almost all the english I learnt because I haven't practice at all.So I'm going to try to practise all the days and remember my english.
Hopefully I can remember some of
