And finally we begin to migrate into the spanish social life

Hi guys I hope you're all doing very well, I'm doing great here. This weekend I'm spending my time in Sevilla (my host city). I thought about traveling outside of the country again but I'm here to learn spanish and to adapt and welcome another culture. In order to learn spanish and really understand the setting I'm living in I should spend more time here I've decided. Lately my roomate, other friend, and I have been trying hard to get to know spaniards our own age and to stop hanging out with the other members of our group all together. Yesterday I got to talk with my new language partner and we're going to meet twice next week to chat and enjoy the city. The school helps us meet spaniards and learn spanish by setting us up with people our own age to hang out with and we take it upon ourselves to call them or email them... they're called intercambios (interchange). Last night we went out with Phil's (my roomate) intercambio for a couple hours and it was a lot of fun. Her name is Sescillia. I'm not entirely sure if I spelt that right but what does I'll correct that later. We bother realized how much spending time with actual spaniards makes a difference. Last night we went out to a part of the city that we have been to before during the day but never at night, needless to say the place was packed with spaniards our age and was a great atmosphere. Sescillia was a very nice and we had a good time. I'll defintely go out with her and Phil again. After we got done spending time with her we went out to another bar where we met more spaniards and even played foosball with them... It was a blast. It's been hard getting to know locals here so far so now that we're finally getting to know some of them everything is starting to feel right. I hope you guys have a good weekend and I'll update you again in about a week or so. This weekend we're thinking about going out for a Flamenco show, bullfight, and probably an international fair tonight. Hasta luego.

Un fuerte abrazo,

Brian
