So I didn't think yesterday in itself was enough to write about so I waited until today! We toured the Port de Barcelona which handles the majority of European trading, and serves to many major cruise ships. We got to take a boat ride around the port. While that sounds exciting, that's the extent of it that I have to write about! It was neat to see how much major trading is done, and they are in the process of an expansion, so I was able to see the project in work. Also, the boat ride was pretty cool as well!
After a short siesta yesterday, we all decided to go out to Club Nasty Mondays. We had heard great things about it from people who went in the past, so we were all excited to give it a shot! Before we went in, I stopped in at a "Mini Casino" which sounded great, but was a bad idea. I only put 5 Euro into a roullette slot machine, and these 3 Indian guys came up and started hitting all the buttons until my money was gone. I was very upset about that, but I just calmly walked out and continued on with my night.
The club was packed, and got pretty crazy! They played all American music, which is a common theme here. Around 2:30 this time, I decided to call it a night, since we had class at 8 in the morning.
Today's class was actually very interesting. The professor teaching it kept everyone's attention very well, and was very good. The lecture was on social entreprenuership, which is a concept I hadn't ever really given much thought, but was cool. This was the only day we didn't take a tour, and just had a 4 hour lecture. Thankfully this guy was interesting, or the day would have been very long.
After that, I got some lunch, then went down the big shopping street, La Rambla, and picked out a few things for my beautiful mother and amazing girlfriend, then headed back to change before a day trip to the beach! About 8 of us rented bikes and rode to the beach. We rode up and down the boardwalk, which was super cool, then me and a couple others dove into the mediterranean!! It was absolutely the most freezing thing I have ever experienced, but hey, I dove into the mediterranean!
I just woke up from my siesta for the day. Tonight a bunch of us are going to this place called Bar Dow Jones. It's a stock market bar where when you buy a beer, the price of it goes up for the next person, while the prices of ones people don't buy go down. I plan on waiting for the stock market crash to buy all my beers!
Thanks for listening..
