First of all I’d like everyone to know that I hate the tourists whining about how “Everything is better back home and this and this is so different than in Finland...” Hey: if you’re going abroad, you should know that it is NOT Finland, that's why it's called ABROAD. But still I got a little “culture-shock” myself on the first night here in Sevilla. The shock was caused by my apartment - my home for the next 5 months. It’s pretty crappy actually :D I kind of knew that this was coming before I got here, because the housing isn’t as high-quality in here than it is in Finland, but still I got surprised about crappiness.
It was shocking to realize that the temperature inside is 15 degrees, there’s no hot water, the toilet is not flushing and the electricity works from one plug only… I mean PLEASE, is that the description of “crappy living” or not? What is this, a third-world country? Geez… Luckily I’ll get used to it… eventually... right? I also got to learn that there is actually hot water (for about 10 minutes) if you put on the water boiler. But you must not use the microwave at the same time, ‘cause otherwise it’ll take all the electricity from the boiler… CRAPPY! :D
In the next post I’m gonna tell you about my first day at work and possibly my first night out here in Sevilla! Stay tuned!
Aaand here’s some crappy music for you…

Actually these water boiler things are all over the world. I've seen them as well in Athens than in the tiniest village in Laos. I guess that we have things too well here in Finland. :D Have a nice trip!
