The Top 10 of Magical Murcia

This weekend I visited Murcia for the first time and visiting at Christmas time was such a good idea!  The whole city was lit up and it was magical and really put me in the festive spirit as Benidorm has approximately zero Christmas lights. (Okay it might have one street with some half hearted attempt at decoration.)

This is basically a lesson for all men on what not to do at the beach.  Although you gotta laugh...

Halloween in España

Halloween in Spain is celebrated in a pretty similar fashion to England, kids dress up, go trick or treating and eat lots of sweets and adults don a costume for a good old piss-up.  This is the part that differs from England.  You think England can party? Think England can handle a few bevvies? Ohhhh no, fiestas in Spain are a whole other kettle of fish.

My Whole New World

So now I've been working at the primary school for three weeks, and it's safe to say I love it!! The other staff members have been so kind and helpful, and my mentor, the English teacher, is amazing!  I have finally sorted all my paperwork and got a bank account and have started to properly settle in.

Year Abroad Goals

I was completely inspired to write this post after reading Becky's blog post - I already had ideas in my mind but it made me think 'you know what? I'm going to write them all down!' So I have :)

Trials and Tribulations

Student Finance England at it's finest

Oh yes, good old student finance.  We love a bit of student finance don't we?  We especially love having to call them when things go wrong, that's personally my favourite part. (Hint: It's not.)  

Hola Marineros!

Hola Marineros!

¿Hola marinero, dónde está el caballo?  

If you're a Spanish speaker, you're probably thinking I'm nuts, but no,  this is the only thing my mam knows how to say in Spanish and she thinks it's brilliant.  I'm not sure where she picked it up but throughout school she insisted on saying it to all my Spanish exchange partners and anyone Spanish she's ever met, and is always met with a strange blank stare that I all-too-well know means 'was that what she meant to say?'  For anyone who's not sure, it means 'hello sailor, where is your horse?' - a nonsensical phrase, and the inspiration for the name of my blog!  So with no further ado...
