HELLO EVERYBODY=)

HELLO EVERYBODY=) Paola is writing today!

Well what should I say…=)… Finally I handed in two exams from BLM and I am very happy and hope for the best for the results.
Now I am enjoying the sun, the nice weather and I pray every day that it will last until February. It has been great weather until now, above 30 degrees until middle October, but now the temperature went down a little around 20-25 degrees, but I am not complaining at all! :D

Well basically, when I am not studying at the university, I am running with Christian, training at the gym as my goal is to try all sort of different tapas here!!=) Every time I go out it has to be something different! In this way I will be able to give good advices to the BLM students who will go to Seville next year =) (or is this just an excuse as Mads is paying? :D I will leave you with this dilemma :D).

Yesterday night we went to a place called La Carboneria. It is a very nice place but normally it is not easy to find for tourists. Every night there are different shows of flamenco dance, guitar, Spanish culture and many others. And everything is for free. I would say this is definitely one of the MUST SEE places in Sevilla =)
Well..it was very super nice and also very romantic! :D
After that we went out for a walk and surprisingly we even got lost! Especially Christian was shocked as he thought he knew everything about the city :P (well apparently he doesn’t :P)
Nevertheless it was nice as we discover a new sushi restaurant, where we will go one of these days =) I will keep you update!! :D Un beso grande! Paola! :D

Sevilla..once again!

Hola amigos :)

Here we are again in the beautiful city of Sevilla.
We arrived 1 September 2011 and got picked up by Paola's "old" Spanish hostmother and driven straight to the appartment we have rented in Sevilla. Yes..that is right..we have been here before :)

(MOVIE FLASHBACK..heh.,)
Back in 2008 we both studied Spanish in CLIC International House Sevilla and lived in two different Spanish host families. This was exactly where we met, fell in love and started our journey to Italy and Denmark together =)
So we already knew the city and had some network which has made the start of this semester and experience simply great!

In fact we found our appartment thanks to some Spanish friends. The location couldn't be better, right next to the cathedral - in other words right in the centre.

The university, Universidad Pablo de Olavide, didn't start untill 9 September, so the first week was actually vacation..and a most needed one, as we decided to spent our summer studying in Copenhagen Business School. In CBS we attended and happily passed Organisational Behaviour and Macroeconomics, as we were not sure if these were available in this semester.
It turned out to be a great decision, and we would therefore recommend other students to do the same.

So the first week went with revisiting favourite tapas bars (tapas bar guide will be supplied later ;), go out with friends, refreshing our Spanish and just enjoying life! :)

The university is pretty large and this year we were 500 ERASMUS students in total from all corners of the world. The international environment is really good, and you integrate very fast both with other ERASMUS students but also Spanish.
One advantage of UPO is also that you can choose between ALL courses taught and not just from one specfic undergraduate/bachelor degree. There are also quite a few business and management related courses which are taught in English. However, there are not very many leisure related subjects.

Now the university courses have really started up strong so this it all that it will be for now :)

Hasta pronto a todos y que lo paséis bien ;)
