Today was my last day in Elms Village. Now I am writing from my home at Madrid and I think it is the beginning of a new chapter in the lives of the whole group of friends we were at Belfast. Bringing together all the people again is quite unlikely. That is the reason had been so difficult to say good-bye each other.The title of this song is connected with this idea: "There's nobody in town"But we

This week I watched a really interesting video about the origin of the money in the blog Inteligencia financiera (warning: blog in Spanish).If you always supposed that the bankers business is not clean, this video explains how the system works.Updated: Spanish version

In the middle of November -from the 14th- Pasi and me made a 5-days trip to Scotland. It was a good chance to visit two of my friends, that this year are living in Edinburgh and Glasgow.Our flight was a Dublin-Edinburgh at 6:30 a.m. So we were traveling the whole night. When we're just landed, Tonecas guided us to his house in which he lives with a lot of people. But it doesn't matter because

I found on the net a video that try to explain the problem that suppose the trusted computing to an average person. It's not technical at all and probably it won't satisfy the technical people but the objective is to spread the message.In the original page there are higher quality versions and elinks.If you don't know what to think about after saw the video, I can tell to you that I agree with

Next flashback. After the Halloween day, the next remarkable activity was our trip to Newcastle, a really small and surrounded by nature village located in the county Down, Northern Ireland. And no, you're probably wrong. The football team is from the other Newcastle in Britain.Bigger mapJust by chance, that day almost all the people had different plans or they weren't interested and, finally,

I decided to post about that silent months. I stopped the updates just before Halloween, so the first flashback is about that day.Halloween is an American and English tradition that is not important at all in Spain and most of the countries of my group of friends. Despite of that, the people made the preparations in advance and the results were quite good.Paige and Ryan were to pints of Guinnes.

Hi! It's been a while since the last time that I posted. Consecuently, lots of things had happened and maybe I will write about them in next posts.Why I stopped to update the blog?My workload grew, my photocamera was nonworking, I am lazy and I preferred to spent my spare time doing something with the guys than posting...But I'm back in Belfast, studying before the examination period and

During the last month I added some extra stuff to the blog.I added feedburner support to manage the RSS subscription and now you can see how many people are subscripted. I added also some scripts to monitor the traffic using google analytics.I have readers in nine different countries bun most of the traffic are from United Kindom and Spain.

Yesterday, we visited a little and pretty city name Derry. It is really near the border with the Republic of Ireland and its history it's a good example of the history of the whole Northern Ireland.The bus trip to Derry it's quite long and we wanted to make most so we got up early in the morning. Our departure was at 9:30 am - very early for a Sunday! View Larger MapOne of the special things of

The university prepared a lot of events for the international freshers during our first week. The event I like more is the Ceili dancing.Ceili dancing is the traditional Irish dancing and relies also in the traditional Irish music. In our case, we had a little music band and one man explaining the different dances to all of us just before starting. That dances has some movements like some steps

Hello!Today I am going to write a few about the survival of the erasmus students of my floor.Local students leave Elms in the weekend and they came back with mam with their dirty clothes and cclaiming for food. In the other hand, this is not possible for the erasmus people. The final result is that in our kitchen there are social activities while the rest of the village looks like a ghost

Today I am going to write about that japanese hero of a lot children: Takahashi Meijin.This guy was working in the videogame industry when the ultimate game system was Nintendo -- that 8-bit console. He worked in Hudson Software and the main character of the game Adventure Island is himself. In fact, the japanese name of that game is Takahashi Meijin no Bouken Jima.But he is not only a videogames

Today is the birthday of one of the portuguese girls. Happy birthday Isabel!But the day has been very different from Bartek's birthday. Instead of a drink-driven party has been a food-driven party. In the next photo you can see the preparation:Women cookingMen beeringAll the food was tasty, specially the cake! Before all this party we were working out on the gym. Consequently, the food vanished

I visited today the Belfast City Hall. It is one important spot in the city because is the center of city center.Despite of its only 100 yr, the City Hall looks much older as you can see in the pictures: There are more photos.

It was programmed a trip to the Giants Causeway, but I couldn't get any tickets because when I managed to contact with the people in charge in time.For that reason I wasn't expecting get up early in the morning and I had got late to the bed.

I left Spain on September 10 and that day was verrrry long. All my family got up at 6:00 am (CEST) and it was raining. Hopefully, Carlos took us to the airport in his car.The plan was very simple. Fist of all, I should take a flight from Madrid to London and then another one from Londo to Belfast at 13:50 (local time). It looks a big amount of time between flights but you should notice that I
