Madrid

Madrid is fantastic. Not that it haven't been told, but now I can say it, because I have been there.
For me Madrid is little like London, it's a place where I run away, when Estonian cultural life isn't enough.
Valencia has maybe even more people than in estonia alltogehter with metropolitan area, but I feel the lack of artistic culture. I don't know the city very well, but even my local artist friends say so.
In Madrid I visited ARCOmadrid were galleries and artist show their works. Lot of people and even more art. Hard to see everything for one day. With Yu-Chen we tried to make the best of it.
This one made me smile and while I was taking the picture there were some problems with the camera, turned out better anyway, without people posing.
                                     

I would like to highlight this one: dress that you can recolour after washing depending on the mood
and here is how it works  (sould add that to my wishlist)

Next one was like Mona Lisa, a lot of people around taking pictures

This one describes my choice of study, as some of my friends think

Had some time to walk around the city, mostly centre
also visited some galleries and museums along the way.

Quiestiones I ask in the order 

Also I realised that I have an obsession with stairs, so probably there will be a post about that.

A little summer in autumn

Not sure in what language should I write..

So past 1,5 months I have spent in busses, trains, cars, plains, taxis or just on all kinds of wheels. Tallinn-ST.Petersburg-Moscow-Tallinn-Prague-Barcelona-Valencia. Carried a lot of luggage, slept in lot of different places, seen a lot of friends and new people, so nothing new much ;)
Here in spain english is quite rearly used and a lot of people don't understand it at all. After 6 nights in hostels I got tired and chose the apartment with a good location (same distance to beach, university and center) where I could move in right away. It does have mostly everything needed for life, internet connection and communal fees are already in a cost. My room is small, but we have balcony and a big living/dining room where we spend most of our time. I share an apartment with a finnish guy Sakari and italian girl Sara, but there's still a room available, so we'll probably have a 4th student living with us soon. From 22th of september I'm officially a student in UPV (Universidad Politecnica de Valencia) Took a little longer to get stuff together and international office is working 3 times a week 10-13 Este es muy espanol. I understand more spanish then when I arrived hare two weeks ago, but people do talk really fast. Spanish-Catalan-(Valencian)-Italian getting confusing a little.

my english is going italiano, soon my estonian will start to hear like finnish and maybe then I will start speaking better spanish. Russo-Spanish is new english, if you speak to a bulgarian. 6+languages a day, try to figure it out.

Ou, and the weather. It was raining for a night and day and some more, I even took out my leather jacket, because it was chili on a balcony. On Sunday I went to the beach for the first time, as I am still the whitest person around.
