Hi. I am Ted, Mike’s bank account. Since Mike is too busy spending his money, I make this entry to enlighten you about his endeavors here in London. Trust me when I say that I know exactly what he is doing here, since every time something’s happening, he brings me along and asks me for some money, but let’s start at the beginning. Right from the start, day 1, we went to covent garden. Great market, cool shops. We bought ourselves a cool new watch. Yes a watch. First time every we bought one, but this is one we wanted to [View Full Entry]

back on the hot-track, I guess. Got it in my mind to travel to London, see how it is to live there. As an excuse I'll start a summer course at the Uni of Westminster there, in psychology.. to pass time. meanwhile, I will report my explorations of London and my reflections of life again here on my favorite place, facebook/hyves/blogspot/etc is so 2008... Web2.0 is a cold place replacing handwritten letters that one wrote to loved ones. Now it is a twitter message stating you're going to the toilet.. Back soon! [View Full Entry]

a world so close to Spain and the rest of Europe, but at the same time so different and distant. the travel started in husseling Tanger after a tireing and long boat trip from Algeciras, Spain. After one night, we went south and spent another 2 in Chefchouen. A blue village. Now in Fez, en at 1 we got to Casablanca. Not much time, must hurry. Soon back! x [View Full Entry]

Waking up this morning was in many ways a unique experience. An empty room, blank white walls jealously gazing to the huge bag filled with memories. A message on my phone; "we miss you Mike, wish we could go and eat waffles now. Memories of the last nites, the Spanish victory made the last nite even more crazy. We laughed, danced, talked, drank, hugged and cried. And not just the goodbye to friends, because a reunion between people is always possible. What is truly gone, a true farewell is to the life we all had here. A life of only 5 [View Full Entry]

as always with all the things in live, there is a beginning and an end. And so I have done my first exam in Spanish today. The subject was Economia Financiera Internacional. I think I passed it, but u never know do you? Now June starts. A month where parties will be named goodbye-parties, a month where friends will return to their homes, a month of exams and a month of goodbyes. Has one followed my travelblogs, you know goodbyes are not my thing, but I learned that they prove that u created something around you. Friends, memories, stories to take [View Full Entry]

last time i checked in was when i was in valencia.. some 2, 3 weeks ago..? the end of those holidays were great, surfing in tarifa, eating couscous in Tanger.. But also, when I returned to Salamanca, enjoying my time with friends, learning spanish, writing a lot of essays and in general relaxing. it is intruiging, that when u let your feelings and emotions guide your life, to see what affects ur enjoyment of life. the one time u feel miserable when ur alone, but the other u feel u can change the world. wht makes us feel things? why do [View Full Entry]

So I arranged Willem to cook me my dinner :) I miss my mum to tke care of me :) and will watch a movie and go to bed early. Bout my life here.. well it's great, I enjoy learning the things here, the courses are really interresting. I have courses like historia [View Full Entry]

Well, arrived safely in Salamanca, booked in a hostel. Yesterday was a bit lonely, maar ahorra estoy mejor. I just got info from the universidad and also about apartments, so I go hunting for a nice one as of today. The hostel where I am a quite crappy, but i motivates me to get an apt as soon as possible. Also, the hostel is the same as where I was 1.5years ago with Niels (weet je nog? :)) It´s strange though to have to start my life all over again, especially since I built up something beautiful in Valencia with friends.
