Ode to the Peculiarities of Spain

So, life continues to go well, I continue to be overfed by my host mother, and I just thought I would share a few of the interesting things I have come across this weekend:

-On the TV in a cafe: a pop/soul/half-spanish remix of killing me softly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gwmj5nK3udU&feature=related

-The Dark Knight...IN Spanish (El Caballero Oscuro)

-A 8-9 month pregnant woman on the street wearing sweatpants and a bra. But it's ok, her back was covered by the wide-open vest she was wearing.

-A young, 5-6 year old British kid walking calmly down the street screaming "Mother of Pearl!"

-Man-prees...Everywhere!

So that has been this weekend's experience. I can't wait to see what future weeks have in store for me...

i miss you too!! es interesante que allá la película sea llamada "el caballero oscuro," porque aquí es llamada "el caballero de la noche." i wasn´t aware that i was planning your birthday party, but i suppose i will! lol don´t even pretend you didn´t like me doing your hair. you wish i was in spain with you so i could do your hair every morning. yo lo sé.
