🙉 Week 2 in Valencia almost coming to a close🙉

Week 2 and what a week it has been. Having overcome the intial learning curb of getting used to how the metro works here, where and what food to buy and finally remembering which classrooms I'm in for our lessons, I can finally say things are clicking more into place.
Some notable highlights are:
1. Flan - it is a must. something drew me to it and now I can fully say I'm addicted, but I limit myself to only one a day. A day without flan is a wasted day.
2. Fortune telling went better than predicted - I completed a lesson on future tense "will" and "going to" and to add some extra fun, I thought of using fortune tellers as a sort of freer practise. I think it went well and it was nice hearing the predicitons that the students were making.
3. Wandering in Valencia - What started as a day visiting 14th century towers and other historical landmarks, turned into a day in the future as we were surrounded by the futuristic architecture of the centre of arts and sciences. 
Let's see what the weekend holds! Perhaps I will finally see the beach here?

 It dawned on me how little time we have left. We've only just starting hitting the cool cafes around Moncada! But with my third work week officially over, I'm taking the metro home looking forward to the weekend. The need to go souvenir shopping looms ever closer, lest I get massacred by everyone I know for not getting them a small trinket. Although...some of the bazaars around here do sell interesting items...

I like cats and one happy surprise I have come across whilst in Valencia was the abundance of cats roaming around the place. But unlike the cats you come across in England, these guys are less tempted by the pspspsps I make and will maintain at least 2 metres distance with you. That being said, they are fun to come across when you least expect it, almost like little spirits you encounter in your journey. I even saw a cat sized hole in the wall that looked like a little home for cats!(Photographed below) Maybe this isn't the only one in Valencia...

Packing Pandemonium (aka Why I Won't Be Taking my Pig Costume)

They say the hardest thing about planning a trip abroad is deciding what to take with you. And oboy aren't they right! I mean, once you've factored in the bare essentials (hair care products, paisley shirts, maltesers and so forth …), you've hardly any room left over for the little luxuries. So, I'm only going to be taking one book. Question is, which one? I've narrowed the list down to three books with their different pros and cons. For the curious, here it is: The Master and Margarita, by Mikhail Bulgakov   Pro   A bow tie wearing, cognac drinking talking cat. A séance of black magic. It's a love story ❤️    Con I may get so into the book it takes over … All my Spanish money magically transforms into roubles and, unable to buy food, I must starve. Gravity's Rainbow, by Thomas Pynchon Pro Never a dull moment. A goodly length. Con I may get so into the book it takes over … I spend my whole stay in Valencia running round the beach in a pig costume, singing di...
