It's not a goodbye, it's a see you soon!

Today is my last day here in Eindhoven, where I've had some wonderful time with all of you. I remember my first day here, where  I met Silvia, my flatmate and she introduced me to the first Erasmus that I met (Marianne, Cristoph, Angelo, Francesco, Dora and Aurelie). Then the next day was the Introduction day. I arrived early so I met some other Erasmus like Timo, Edouard or Huseyin. Then I heard Spanish (I thought there wouldn't be many Spanish here) and went to those guys speaking Spanish. These guys have been all of them wonderful people, since the first day we have been talking about everything and helping us in whatever we needed. These three guys are Adrian, Manu and Dani. A little bit after we met Jordi and Gemma, the group was increasing!! By the end of the night, while partying we met Deniz (I'm a gentleman, I let you sit in my chair haha), Nuno and Ricardo (fucking portuguese!! you are so great!), Alex (also called smoke bomb, as disappeared everytime), Amaury and Irina (salsa classes!! haha). During the two first weeks I was the guy with the broken arm. We started making the spanish group, with Victor, Jaime, Fernando, Javi, Felipe and all the other Spanish that I said before. When I came back from Barcelona, more people had arrived. I have to specially say thanks to Rocio, Raquel and Darío (i've been the last two days occupying their home as my house contract had already expired). Then we met Jana, Hani (spanish-syrian haha), Sandra, Pedro, Ricardo and Héctor (mr. de Haan, great time at classes), Carmen, Kiko and Vicky (to make a bigger group). After some time we met all the industrial people (Bea, Cris, Marta, Mariano, Nacho, Arturo, Frenky, Arianna, Margot, Markus, Carlo). I cannot forgot the parties with the polish guys (Jola, Michal, Jakub and Aaron) These months here have been amazing, even if the city is not the most beautiful in the Netherlands, I'll have a marvellous memory of the city thanks to you! I remember the trips to Munich (crazy trip, organized in only one week, with a rented car and 6 people sleeping in one room, just amazing), to Brugge and Gent, all the kruidvaat trips (running and running in order to visit as many cities as possible), Prague, Budapest, the trips with the bike near Eindhoven, the parties in other cities, the Redbull party and of course all the parties we have done here in Eindhoven (first one  in Alex's house, but then, Dani's, Rocio&Dario&Raquel's, Salcedonia's, Jola's, Dora's, Carlo's, Gemma's, Portuguese guys, Aron's) all the parties the thursday's in the university, looking for the places with free beer it has been something incredible and I'll miss you a lot guys!! As it says in the title, it's not a goodbye, it's a see you in the Queensday and if that's not possible I hope to see you anywhere else! You all know that are welcome in Barcelona!!

Last dutch trip

Yesterday we spent the day visiting some dutch cities with our last Kruidvaat ticket. We (Dani, Felipe, Jordi, Gemma and me) met at quarter to eight in the station and took the train to Alkmaar, our first destination. Is a city well-known here for the cheese (we could taste a wide variety of them and bought some) and visited the Centrum. After a while, we visited Haarlem a city near Alkmaar and Amsterdam, we visited there a windmill and also the typical centre of the dutch cities. Then, we took the train to our last touristic destination, Groningen, a city in the north of the Netherlands. When we arrived it was raining, so we decided to have a beer in a huge bar (it was amazing, we thought that there were different bars but it was only one) and after that we visited the city centre. We had dinner and went to Utrecht, where we met Javi and Fernando and had a nice party there! Finally, we got home at 4.30.
Here you have some photos:

Back to Eindhoven

After spending the Christmas holidays in Barcelona (with a great weather and meeting with the people I hadn't met for 4 months) I am back to Eindhoven. This Erasmus experience will end in a month and right now is the most stressful moment: preparation for exams, finishing and presenting the projects we had to do, doing the last assignments... I hope I can handle with it!!!
Have fun
Després de passar les vacances de Nadal a Barcelona (amb molt bon temps i veient a la gent que feia 3 mesos que no veia) estic de nou a Eindhoven. L'erasmus s'acabarà en un mes i ara mateix és el moment més estressant: preparació pels exàmens, acabar i presentar els projectes que teniem, fer els últims treballs... Espero poder amb tot!
Que vagi bé!
