Well then, I'm officially living the most hedonistically I have ever done in my whole life. All I've been doing if hanging out in coffee bars, having 7 hours of school a day which flies by cause your learning so much, going to the beach, swimming in the sea for hours at a time, eating a nice seafood lunch, going to the gym for an hour (yes for the first time in my life I ventured into a gym), eating with the familia for dinner, reading and then heading to a pesada for a few drinks (like a guesthouse/youth hostal), and going to a bar/club till late. It's absolutely wonderful! I feel so alive, probably because I've been hanging out with middle aged people for 2 weeks so I should feel very young, and also coming from Africa where they basically had no entertainment to BAM! Soooo much to do it's gone to my head, I'm taking to salsa lessons with my own instructor for 5pounds an hour, getting pretty damn good I say! I went to the pesada last night to meet my German friend, we went to an Irish themed bar, had some drinks, did our homework and went back to start the party, had few too many rums and went to a salsa club (the only type of club they have here) man it was amazing, I was dancing till 4am then had school this morning at 9! The dancing was unbelievable; these people mannnn they know how to dance, like everyone, not just one couple ruling the dance floor but like everyone!! And it wasn't like in England when everyones just bopping around lol everything looks so choreographed but it's just coming naturally, I wish everyone could dance like that, why can't white guys dance! even I looked pretty good I was told, I didn't even have to do anything, the guy just leads you and its pretty easy! Ohhh I feel so lucky to get to do all of this, I'm having fun and learning Spanish at the same time,at the moment I can only understand the majority of what people are saying I can say words but cant really construct the sentences yet, but that will come soon I think. I just can't believe all the stuff I'm doing all the time, id never dream of doing any of this at home, it's so different always too busy or lazy or something but I'm having so much fun. I can't believe I've only got two weeks left here I could easily spend 2 months plus here doing what ever the hell I want! Well it's xmas in few weeks and it hasn't even crossed my mine till I looked at the date the other day. It nice that they've got xmas decorations up everywhere and I did here the LiveAid song at the mall but I don't think the xmas spirit is complete without seeing the Coca Cola advert…which is yet to come. I wish I was with my host family for xmas but ill be leaving a few days before hand…who knows what I'm going to be doing!!

I was missing everyone at home more this week because of the influx of German people that came…man that pissed me off! About 4 Germans is fine but hanging out with 7 - 8 German middle aged men …I just couldn't hack it!! From being on my own so much in Africa I think I've developed some sort of phobia of bug groups of people, everyone in the group except for a couple people were pissing me off! But maybe cas its just cas I'm missing young people and female company. Then I discovered the pesada and every night talk to different travellers, met some English people (finally) and a load of Swedish young hippies travelling round, always fun to get through the basics (so where u from, what you doing here, where you going next) after that i found some sanity and theres also a load of latin guys that live there too, so the conversations are in spanish most of the time which is nice instead of german! which ive been hearing constantly for the past 2 weeks. grrrr im going to be joined in my house by another german who will be coming tonight, shes a girl and 21 on the upside!
