A letter from Sweden…

I got a letter from The Royal Institute of Technology this morning. I’m now a member of KTH Alumni, a network of former KTH students. In general, Spanish University works much worse than Universities in Europe. The proof is that after finishing my Spanish Degree, it’ll take three years to get the official Diploma. Not to mention there’s no official Alumni Network here in Spain.

There’s something you can do about this.

Grease is the word!

Grease, The Musical is being performed at the Victoria Palace Theater in London. I had never been in an English musical before, and don’t regret having paid twenty pounds for the ticket (the show is worth every penny). Grease illustrates a culture and dynamism that were left behind us more than forty years ago. What I liked more, however, are all those catchy tunes and lyrics.

Kotbullar dinner in Barcelona

I’m back from Barcelona now. The interview process took much more time than I expected and I actually didn’t have much time to meet my friends there. Fortunately, I got to meet most of them for a dinner at Marc&Arnau’s. Le chef Marc cooked a tasty selection of dishes, including rice flavoured with banana sauce (which was awesome!). The people in the photo are, from left to right and excluding me: Noelia, Josep, Arnau, Sabina, Marc and Jordi. We also had a phone conversation with Roger… it was ages since I didn’t have any piece of news from him. Hope to be back in Barcelona soon. It’s a fantastic city.

Random facts

During your lifetime, you’ll eat about 60,000 pounds of food; that’s the weight of about 6 elephants! Broccoli is the only vegetable that is a flower. The average child will eat 15 pounds of cereal a year. The venus flytrap is quite the carnivore. It can eat a cheeseburger! Peanuts are one of the ingredients of dynamite. Apples are more efficient than caffeine in keeping people awake in the mornings.

p.s. I’m on my way to Barcelona. Will be offline until wednesday… humph!
