Unexpected meetings, Part dos!

Ok guys, you have to get used to the fact that my posts are a little bit late. There is in fact quite a lot to do here. So I don’t have so much time to write all these things after all. Quite controversial really: When nothing happens, there’s time to write, but nothing to write about. When there’s a lot happening, there’s no time to write about it! :D But yeah, let’s cut to the point, shall we..

 Couple of different ways to travel around the city centre ;)

My second week here in Sevilla was still pretty cool! I got a better hang of my work assignments and started to realize what it is all about. Besides that, I finally started to know the city a bit better. Yes it’s already my second week, but you see: I work every day with 9 to 5 basis. In addition, travelling to work takes about an hour one-way so when I get back home, there’s not much time or energy to go touring.

                

The week went by pretty fast but then on Friday I was just walking in this Plaza del Duque trying to find myself some roller skates and suddenly somebody shouts my name! I turn around and see this girl from Austria who I met the week before at Malaga (and who I told you about)! I mean, what the f*ck? What are the odds? :D Anyway, I had promised her to show around the city and so I did! We went together on this city tour that my work mate was arranging the same evening and we got to see the most famous places here in city centre!

Sevilla at nighttime, pretty nice-looking place!

The next day, on Saturday, we decided to go out to party a little bit! Some other people I got to know earlier had the same idea so we had a little party at our appartment. In the end there were a bunch of Finnish, couple of Dutch, couple of Slovenians and an Austrian so pretty international again! During the first two weeks I’ve met so many new people that I’m not even sure if I can remember them all! :D Well, at least these two Slovenian girls are worth of mentioning, they were so great! I even invited them to Finland :D And did you know that Finland leads the suicide rates in Europe, Hungary is the second and the third in this questionable race is Slovenia. Well, neither did I!

Oh, sometimes
I get a good feeling, yeah
Get a feeling that I never, never, never, never had before, no no

Getting to know the basics

Alright I guess it’s time for me to tell you guys a little bit about my first few days here. So as you know, I departed Spain on Monday the 9th at 10 pm in the evening (or the night). The first work day was already the next day. So I had a very brief introduction to the apartment I would live in and then get straight to bed. The next morning we left to work at 8 am with another intern working in there.

      Another day at the office? My fellow intern Miika.                      Here's Susanna, another owner of the company.

The first few days at work were mostly just about observing and trying to learn what was going on there. The office is actually very cozy, although it is quite cold inside in there as well. But altogether it’s a really nice place to work! The company owners are also very nice and friendly. It’s especially great that they are quite young so it’s easy to be on the "same level" with them (when it comes to humour for instance)!

The second night, on Tuesday, we went out for a little clubbing on “Super Tuesday” –student party. It was ok, but not great (wonder if I’m starting to get old?) so I was a little bit disappointed… But it was still nice to go out with some new people and meet some more people! In the other hand, it wasn’t nice when I had to wake up for work at 8 am again the next morning. You can imagine it was quite difficult, as I was awake and had been drinking until 3:30 am in the morning! :D After a day at work with quite bad hangover I decided that I’d skip the Super Tuesdays in the future… And that's all I got to say about Wednesday!

    International dinner with some Dutch, Spanish and Finnish people.

On Thursday we went out to have dinner with a mixture of Dutch people, Finnish people and a Spaniard. We had a dinner together because one the Dutch interns was having a kind of like going-away –party. I would have the next day free so I thought it would be best to get a good sleep after a hard week. On Friday I slept until 12 am and after waking up, I decided to go for a walk around the city centre. The city of Sevilla, it is so magnificent… There’s nothing like that in Finland. It’s different, old and still clean and nice. It’s a romantic city!

Sevilla's got some style, baby ;)
