¿Comó estás? I am doing really good here. The only thing is that it is getting colder. This weekend it will be only 14 degrees! Eventhough it is normal in The Netherlands, I am not looking forward to it. So if you are planning to go to Spain from September to January, don't forget to bring some long jeans and sweaters!
Last week I went for a couple of days back to The Netherlands to celebrate the birthday of my best friend. It was so nice to see everybody and I really enjoyed it. But I was also really happy to go back to Castellón, because I am having such a good time here. We have a really nice Erasmus group.
Today I would like to talk more about the cultural differences in Spain in comparison to The Netherlands. The first thing I noticed is that Spanish people are more calm then Dutch people, like in for an example when they walk on the Streets. They walk so slowly. Another thing is that Spanish people don't go out of the way for you when you pass them, it's so annoying! Furthermore, people here in Castellón don't have much knowledge about English, so please be prepared when you come here. Fortunately, most shops are open during the siësta (mostly between 14 and 17), but please note that during Sundays and national free days that all shops are closed. Moreover, the Spanish people Always give two kisses when they meet someone and greet someone (except for men to men), so Always just do it and don't give a hand. Finally, Spanish people type ''jaja'' instead of ''haha''.
So I am really enjoying my time here in Castellón. I can really recommand to everybody to come here.
Next week, it is Halloween and appartently they celebrate it here (well the Erasmus). So me and my friends have to find a costum for that, because they organize a Halloween party in Wallabies.
Hasta luego!
