I like the cinema

It is snowing. It is my final day in Madrid and it’s snowing. How…odd. Very odd. And, how do you say, a little bit funny. Entertaining! No, not entertaining.

I am going to Scotland tomorrow. Yes. I am, how do you say? It is good. But I am sad. And happy. At the same time. It is a shame. A big shame. But I will be back. I don’t know, exactly. But, yes. I like the cinema.

The time in Madrid has passed very well for me. Very well. I have known lots of people. Lot’s of nice people. Very good.

I am living with Spanish people. It is better like that. I can practice my Spanish. I have learned a lot and I can speak much better. But still it is, how do you say, very difficult. It is that the people speak fast. Verrryyyyyy fast. Yes. Yes. Yes.

What more? I live in Lavapies. It is very good. Very entertaining. There are lots of barrrs, restauraaaantes. What more? Yes, lots of immigrants. Which is good. It is better, very interesting with many cultures. I have luck to live here. My flatmates are brilliant. I live with Marcos, who is a teacher at my school. He has not been my teacher but he is a teacher at my school.

And his girlfriend, who is very friendly, and another Spanish guy and an American guy. They are nice and I can practice my Spanish a lot. But still it is difficult, sometimes.

I like the cinema. I prefer films from Europe but sometimes action too. But it is very expensive to see a film in Madrid. Nearly eight euros! Everything is a little expensive here. Except the metro, which is very good. It is very cheap.

Why am I here? I can say this fast because I have said this story many times. Yes. It’s funny, and boring. It’s that I, how do you say, had an opportunity five or six months ago to leave my job with, how do you say, a little money. Thanks to the crisis! It is an opportunity very good for me because I like to do different things. To travel and live in different place.

The life here is very good. I believe it’s the people. There are so many people. In the street. There is so much animated life! I like people in my country but, I don’t know, maybe they are more open here. It is easy to talk to people in bars. But it is not easy to talk to people in the metro. It is normal.

But not everything has been good. One time a man robbed me in the metro. To fuck! I, how do you say, wooooollllllddd shiiittt on his head. If I could. But everything is fine. Nothing is happening never.

Do you like the cinema? Sometimes in class we have interesting conversation. I remember one time we were speaking about how the climate is changing. Now there is a big meeting happening about how to stop the changes in the climate. I’m not sure. It is very complicated.

Often I play football with a group of students at the school. Adam…Charlie… It is good. We play on a pitch in Retiro. Hmm, it is funny, one time the ball went into the tree. Ok, you know that one. You can play if you want. If you are able to.

I am quite tired today. It’s that there were lots of parties at the weekend. The nights are long in Madrid! On Saturday we had a birthday party for my flatmate, Igor. We played lots of games. There was one game when someone writes the name of someone famous on paper and sticks it on your head. Very entertaining. I’m not really tired today. Tonight I’m going to a restaurant for a pizza to say goodbye. It is a little sad. But I’m happy. Before I have to buy some things. But it’s snowing. So I might watch a movie. I like the cinema.
