A week done! Nice of the Spanish government to wait until we were just over the halfway point before adding another 2 week extension so looks like we’ll be stuck indoors until 12th April. Oh well, it wasn’t like this wasn’t expected.
Today has been another fairly chilled uneventful day, I have spent most of the day in my room watching Netflix along with Sky on Demand (thanks for the login details mum!).
In the queue for the supermarket I noticed that somebody had taken advantage of the quiet streets and put up a bunch of anti-gentrification in a variety of different posters around the neighborhood. Over the past few years my area has seen a huge influx of ‘hipsters’ which has driven up the rents of this once working class neighborhood. All I could think was “one problem at a time lads!”
In the evening we had the first of our ‘cultural exchange nights.’ Looks like the plan here going forward is to choose a historical or cultural topic and discuss it. Tonight’s topic was WW1 and WW2, it was actually pretty interesting hearing about how other nationalities study this topic at school. It also came as a stark reminder that I need to improve my Spanish past tense!
