Noviembre

So considering it’s the fall, the student council held its annual Halloween Party the other day. Everyone came dressed up in a costume, there was pizza and drinks and it was a lot of fun, Thanks to the Student Council!!! Aside from that, last Friday the Business club offered a trip to go on a tour of the Mahou Brewery in Guadalajara, Spain. This company is the largest producer in Spain and Europe. The factory was incredible because you were able to see exactly how things are done. We were able to walk on the overpasses in the bottling room and could see how the machines bottle and package the product. We also received a gift package upon leaving which contained some Mahou glasses; I would defiantly recommend this tour to everyone! On top of everything else that was going on I had a friend come and visit for about one week and during that week we went to several places around Madrid, the community, but I’ll tell you guys about that another time.

¡Hasta Luego!

Arabic Breakfast....for Dinner???


Hey Guys so the other night my roommate and his sister made us a traditional Arabic breakfast for dinner. It was very very tasty as well as something that I had never eaten before. In my apartment my three roommates and I are all from different areas of the world so we are able to learn about different cultures in our own home. The food was delicious as you can see in the picture I uploaded for you. I hope that you all have the same experience I did by meeting people from all over the world!

¡Hasta Luego!

Are you Hungary???????


If I had to recommend anywhere in Europe to take a weekend trip it would be Hungary. A few weeks ago one of my friends and I traveled to Budapest and we had a blast! The city is full of architecture and culture that, in my opinion seemed to be a mix of Easter and Western European customs. Whether you are sitting at a café, looking at the royal palace, parliament building, or even taking a walk through one of the several parks scattered all throughout the city it is defiantly a place to visit. The food was amazing!!! Goulash & Paprika are key elements to Hungarian foods and now I understand why…they are delicious! Although we were only there for a short time we were able to spend time in both Buda and Pest. As you might not know, Budapest is parted by a river that divides the city into Buda and Pest. Buda is more of a historical section of town, mainly located on a hill (which by the way you are able to see a breathtaking view of the city). As well as Pest on the other side of the river which is a more upcoming city, filled with students and modern areas. Both sections are filled with markets and restaurants that are not too expensive. Can’t wait until our Halloween Party in the next few weeks!!!

¡Hasta Luego!
