What a city...

Now it has been three weeks since I arrived in Barcelona and all I can say is that it really is an amazing city.
The first three weeks I went to a language school to improve my spanish and I definitely think it helped a lot. It was also a great opportunity to meet a lot of people some of which will also be staying here for a longer period of time.
During my first week here the language school arranged accommodation for me. I stayed in a room in an appartement which I shared with an austrian from Vienna the appartment was near Placa Espanya and I really got on well with my flatmate.
From the day I arrived (2. September) I started looking for a room in a flat. I mainly used the internet to find offers. The first couple of appartements were very disappointing, small rooms some in very poor conditions for 350-400€, this was clearly more than I wanted to pay.
The fifth room I looked at was the room I moved into, so it really didn't take me all that long to find a place to stay. I moved into my room just a week after I arrived and so far I haven't regreted it fo a second.
The last two weeks I spent a lot of time at the beach (University starts on 1. October) enjoying the lovely weather here but unfortunately the last couple of days the weather hasn't been that great.
