La canción Ausias March

One can do miracles with two iBooks and an USB headset, and a group like we have here in Puerta 13 of Colegio Mayor Ausias March. Paolo and Alessandro had made a song about our residence and the young wild people here. As a newcomer to our piso, Marc offered to play his oboe on the track. I and Ville had microphones, the rest was history...

7 Spanish cities in 5 days

Last weekend I saw Madrid and some of the most beautiful, interesting and also touristic cities around it. We made a road trip to see as much famous sights as possible during the five days without school, el puente. All the walking and foto shooting without enough sleep was exhausting, but I also learned a lot about the history of Spain. I loved Madrid, maybe because it was so different from the other Spanish cities. I just seemed to have it all. But also the majestic plazas and cathedrals made an impact on me. Hopefully I will have a reason to write something like this again in the near future.
