Like a bird!

As far as I'm not keen on flying (oh it makes me feel so uncomfortable, there just two things I enjoy: when stewardesses show the safety code and the feeling in my stomach when a plane rises up, butterflies!) I decided to broaden my knowledge about planes and all this stuff. and.. and it's so exciting! today I've spent 3 hours serching the Internet for pictures, facts and curious details related to air liners. Do you know that the process of designing one machine takes at least 5 years? and that there are more than 1000 tests conducted before the plane is allowed to be mass-produced? and there are detailed inspections every few months? and... and... but even bird sometimes falls down.

10 things I like about Mallorca


1. Sunny nights! (yes, its possible!)

2. the countryside: soil is bloody-red! and specific "molinos" (windmills)

3. People! "Hola guapa" ^^( yeah, it feeds my vanity!) and the "maƱana" (= tomorrow) attitude.

4. there are more than 17 shades of green colour

5. the open-air cinema, every night, 10 p.m., Parc de la Mar

6. Tapas, tapas, tapas! (= characteristic Spanish snacks)

7. Narrow streets and the way Spaniards are driving. Crazy!

8. Small houses in the sand colour with blue-and-green-and-yellow shutters.

9. Cats, cats, cats, everywhere.

10. An uncommon combination of sea and mountains, which run into one another.

I taste better


Long time no see, huh? At least I have a good excuse, Spain is incredibly absorbing and so different from what I've experienced so far that it's really hard to focus. I'm curious about every following day, every new person I'm going to meet, and every new Spanish word I'm going to memorize.

I think that my life in here is more... distinct and flavorful and at the same time is soul-stirring. In other words, it tastes better... I TASTE BETTER.
