Background: Spain's powerful world empire of the 16th and 17th centuries ultimately yielded command of the seas to England. Subsequent failure to embrace the mercantile and industrial revolutions caused the country to fall behind Britain, France, and Germany in economic and political power. Spain remained neutral in World Wars I and II, but suffered through a devastating civil war (1936-39). In the second half of the 20th century, Spain has played a catch-up role in the western international community; it joined the EU in 1986. Continuing challenges include Basque Fatherland and Liberty (ETA) terrorism and further reductions in unemployment.

splash into the olives sea

this bright eyes' song best describes the flight and waiting for one of my brothers of different parents in malaga's airport. So there is this woman and she was on an airplane, and she's flying to meet her fiancé, sailing high above the largest ocean on planet earth, and she was seated next to this man, who, you know, she had tried to start conversations, and only, really the only thing she did heard him say was just to order his Bloody Mary. And she's sitting there, and she's reading this really arduous magazine article about this third world country, that [View Full Entry]

Dennis bliver klippet af mig

I dag, den 11.08.2008 blev jeg spurgt om jeg ville ære med til at promote Bartender Academy, ved at medvirke på nogle film og biller ovs. Dette skal vi gøre på torsdag (vi er 6) Generelt kan man sige at vi har det rigtig hyggeligt. Vejret er kanon, 35 grader hver eneste dag med massere af sol. Dette blev også dagen hvorpå Dennis mistede alt sit hår :) [View Full Entry]

Hyping og Alkobingo

Europe » Spain » Andalusia » Málaga

Bytur
KlargÃ¸ring til bytur

Den 8. 8. 2008 var vi til noget der hedder alkobingo (bingo med druk) Den 9. 8. 2008 var der en finale i hyping, hvor vinderen fra hold A og hold B skal dyste (hyping = at sælge noget, dette gøres bedst ved at aktivere alle sanser hos køber. I de indledende runder skulle vi hyppe en drink, vodka, at pudse lysekroner, ens bedste ven og en selv). I finalen får man først emnet at vide lige før man skal hyppe. Vinderen fra hold A blev en der hedder Michel og vinderen fra hold B blev sjovt nok MIG ;) Desværre [View Full Entry]

Going, going, gone...

Amanda and I at the creepy train station in Naples
apparently naples is now the ghetto, mafia-centered part of Italy, and not to safe; and of course we had to go through it at 11pm.

Well, this was definitely the trip of a lifetime. It was also a huge trip and I will expand more on it later, but since it took a while to load the pictures and I just don't even know where to start on what I did and how it went; I will just post the pictures now for you and can explain more later. I know you'll just look at the pictures anyway. jamie-the world traveler oh, p.s. I went to Rome, then Dublin, and finally London all in ten days time. [View Full Entry]

Sevilla and other random moments these past weeks...

Europe » Spain » Andalusia » Málaga

This was our first stop in Sevilla.

Well, hello there...long time no talk, and I apologize for taking so long with this one. And this will probably be short, because there hasn't been a whole heck of a lot going on. My classes officially ended last week, which was really nice, except I didn't really have anything to do during classes, so now I just don't know what to do with myself at all and I am kind of bored. At least for two weeks, then it is off to Rome, Dublin, and London. I am extremely excited for the big trip, and will I have quite the [View Full Entry]

After 2 days sailing past the North African Coast of Tunisia, Algeria & Morocco, we arrived at Malaga, Spain on the 20th of May. We had a half day tour scheduled which turned out to be terrific. First stop was the Castillo de Gibralfaro which means Castle of the Lighthouse Rock which overlooks the city and gave us some great views and photo opts. Next we hit the Bull Ring and Museum and got a history lesson on bull fighting past and present. We were amazed at the costs of the sport today. Bull Fighters can get paid over 100,000 Euro [View Full Entry]
