Bilbao

Well I don't know if I am repeating myself or not. BUT!!

I am currently living in Bilbao, Vizcaya Spain. A couple of things about Bilbao and surrounding area are as follows:
-> Spanish is not the only prominate language here. Most people in the Vizcaya region also speak Basque, Euskera to the people here. Reportedly, Euskera is like no other language! ^-^'
->The soccer team is "Athletic Club," and they have a red and white striped jerseys.
->The basketball team is "Bilbao Basket," and they have black jerseys. Also their mascot is a spider.
-> Fish is one of the main foods, due partly to this being a port city.

I have gone to both soccer and basket ball games her, and, well, basketball is still the same but the soccer game was pretty deep. Everyone was cheering and clapping, and storming around mad when the other team one. (Soccer mind you, Bilbao Basket won their game.) A big thing at sporting events are "pipas" or sunflower seeds still with the shell. Now, the avid pipa eater can shove a handfull in thier mouth and spit out carefully halved and salt free shells. I on the other hand am begining to grasp the concept and still manage to eat the shells ... yeah.

Also, I just went on a class feild trip to the mountains. We went from Metro to Bus to Train! It was crazy! The place we went was really pretty, as long as you didn't step in the cow patties! It was pretty funny, I was the only one to bring a camera ... so the teachers were borrowing mine! Towards the end these two cows ran down the street, icing on the cake. it was an awsome day.

School, is crazy. Not only is everything in spanish but the standard are also different. Teachers are called by first name (don't try this in american schools) and change classrooms every period.
The Schedual is kinda funky, classes are all an hour long, and you will only have a class 3-4 times a week. Depending on the day you can have differnet classes. It all seems really random.

Yep that is about it.
besos!
