Getting to Know You!!! :p

Headed out for a meal on Monday, 25th February (after the uni placement test for the 'curso de lengua' [intensive for me!! Yay!!! :p]) with Cameron and Lynsey (fellow Scots!), Anna (from Ireland), and Sam (from Yorkshire). Asturian food has got to be the most fattening food EVER! We had what were essentially chicken nuggets, eggs, beef and seafood, ALL served with chips, and COVERED in grease!! Tasty enough though, and a good way to get to know people! :) Didn't get any pictures of the food, but the cider was flowing! :p

Cider on tap...literally!! :p


Cameron gives it a go!



Well Tuesday is quiz night in the Asturianu bar, so off I headed there for the first time on Tuesday, 26th February. Just a small bar (and as smoky as hell!), but it's popular with the ERASMUS students, and we had a laugh (and we didn't win! :p)!

Chloe, Helen, Kate, Sylvia, Kathy, Cameron, and Sam outside the Cathedral!


Chloe and Cameron!


Me!


Chloe plays us a tune on her invisible violin!


About town! :p



Thursday, 28th February.

Headed to the Impala restaurant with AEGEE, where we had a sumptuous feast of tortilla española (best food EVER!!! :p), pork, ham, chorizo (spicy sausage), squid (which ain't actually that bad! :p), croquettes, prawns, and...cider!!! :D Spent all night getting to know an American girl called Eleni, who can be summed up in owe word: fabulous!!! :p We then headed out to bar Escondite to dance it off!! :p

Me and Eleni! :)

This show-off doesn't even have to look!! :p

Escondite!


David (Spanish guy--pretty easy on the eye!) and I doing a torre (basically, just a mixture of more alcohol than is good for you! :p)
