Mimidora The Explorer

Today i have to bring all of my stuff to the LBC office in Calle Doctor Cirajas. Sardines, a few clothes and booooooks. Like 20 of them haha. I was contemplating on putting the computer keyboard with the "send home" stuff but my dad told me to bing it with me because it might get crushed

I will try to make 2 3/4 months of life inside this

I also finished rolling almost all of my clothes


I had to get a taxi to transport my stuf because i will break my back if i use the metro.

I packed my stuff there and voila! I have to wait around 50 days. But no problem. I'm not very impatient.

I rushed back to the metro because i need to meet up with Julieta for our "despedida to each other lunch".

We ate at the usual, the Cafe Moderno also so i can say goodbye to Rodrigo the camarero and Virgel the Filipino cook.

Here's Julieta with our basket of potato chips


After lunch she had to rush home because her flight is at 18:00 back to France


Since i still had time, i took a few pictures of the road to school





I'm going to miss this place

Here's the door of my school.









The reception



The clock :)



I know i'm a dork :) haha! Here's my last class picture, but i'm missing Magda who went home because she's sick. And Elena the other Russian and Elise who went home



And i'm glad i saw Jose Luis too before leaving :)



I started to reminisce before going home. I took a picture of that cinema where i watched Piratas del Carribe with Induja



And San Bernardo Entrance of the Metro



Oh wait i almost forgot. Outfit of the day, the über comfy Bombachos. I love them even if they look a bit funny at times. It's so comfyyy


And then i went home to eat dinner with Mamá Eva. It was quiet with just the 2 of us but it's like bonding moment :)

After that i started doing my luggage again and then it's ¡Buenas Noches! To my beloved Madrid

I woke up early today because i need to look for the LBC to be able to send some of my things home. I can't put them all in my luggage because i will have to pay for overweight fees.

I looked for the address online and the telephone number. I tried calling the number but it just ate up load because of the answering machine thing.

I looked for the Calle Fernando El Catolico but aparently LBC is not there anymore... So i used a public phone to try calling again and por fin! Someone answered and told me the REAL direction.

ADDRESS:
It's now in Calle Doctor Cirajas, 12, and you have to take metro line 5, the green one to Ciudad Lineal and then take the Salida (exit) Centro Commercial. Walk a little and turn right and that's it! haha

In metro Quevedo there's some kind of hi tech passenger guide on the platform. ¡Que Guai!!! (how cool!)

I passed 3 men today that all said the same thing to me "hola chinita guapa!"....(hello beautiful chinese girl)..... I'm not from China (-_-)#

And then i finally found the LBC and met Vicky and Tess. They explained to me the process of a "balikbayan box" or the really really huge box that i think 2 of me can fit inside. I'll just come back tomorrow to bring all my stuff because i still need to buy Sardines :)

I went back to eat lunch because i don't want to be paying for food i am not sure of. With Mamá Eva's cooking i am always sure it's good :)

I rushed to school because i might be a little late. During class, Carolina told me she had a little gift for me and then brought out my certificate :) instead of writing "principio de Avanzado B2 (Beginning if Advanced B2)" because i am only able to take 1 week of this level, she just wrote "Avanzado B2" because she feels that even without to the next chapters of the book, i can make it :)






i'm so happy. And my evaluation, almost all are 9's except for auditory skills which was a 10 :) those are the highest grades tey can give :)






i'm really happy and my family will be so proud





We had a laughing session with Carolina and Abel. I really hope i could stay longer but i can't.

After school i went to El Corte Ingles to buy a few more books and keyboards with Spanish characters, and ofcourse Sardines. My friend Ruben from the book section was not there so i just left a message since he does not have work fridays and saturdays and those are my last days in Madrid.

These are the books i bought today. The bigger ones were on sale.





The books and the 20 sardines and the keyboard were heavy!!!! But i managed :) i just wonder how i can bring these to LBC tomorrow. I don't feel like taking a taxi because taxi drivers here drive as if it's the last trip of their lives.
I finally saw "el niño con el pijama de rayos" (the boy in the striped pyjamas). I watched the movie and it was soooo sad





Now i habe to bring all of these home






I organized my stuff before sleepig and so,
-- ¡Buenas Noches Madrid!
