Spanglish and Franglais : January 2015
http://spanglishandfranglais.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Hmmm … I’m feeling slightly bored. Why not book another trip? Whilst twiddling my thumbs, I wondered what I could do to pass some time. Of course there was always the university work that I need to do, as well as the food shopping, the laundry and generally cleaning my room, but none of that really jumped out to me ;). And then it occurred to me, why not book another trip away? So, I did it. I booked the coach tickets to Madrid there and back, and booked the train tickets to Toledo for Monday 16. Museum ...

Spanglish and Franglais : The Prado Museum, Madrid
http://spanglishandfranglais.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-prado-museum-madrid.html
The Prado Museum, Madrid. Since its grand opening to the public in 1819, the Prado museum has been celebrated for its fantastic collection of Spanish art. Over the years the royal collection has expanded greatly to include many other pieces from artist all around the world. However, it still remains as the best museum for Spanish art with the works. Of Goya, Velazqeuz and El Greco, to name but a few, on display. My favourite piece is The Garden of Earthly Delight by Hieronymus Bosch which is, and has bee...

Spanglish and Franglais : December 2014
http://spanglishandfranglais.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
I wish I could say that things had changed by September came and I was due to go to Santander. But that just wasn’t the case. The only thing that I had taken extra care to pack and take with me was my “Elf” DVD. And that is because it is amazing! In my personal (and valued, of course) opinion, one of the greatest Christmas films in existence is “Elf”. And there was no way that I would enter the month of December without watching this glorious film. It is a favourite to say the least. I have changed my mi...

Why not spend the day in Bilbao? And so I did. Unfortunately, this time round, I wasn’t able to spend a lot of time in the city, as I had private classes in the evening. But, I did have a perfect amount of time to visit the Guggenheim museum, have some lunch and take a stroll through some beautiful gardens. And so, using the map that I had been given, I arrived at the Guggenheim museum pretty swiftly. Just seeing the exterior is amazing – the architecture really is incredible! A rock is a rock is a rock ...

Pupil: What's the waste system like in the UK? The Reina Sofia Museum. On the Saturday evening of my weekend in Madrid (which was weeks ago now), the gang and I took advantage of free entry to the Reina Sofia museum: a contemporary and modern art museum named after the Queen. Apart from Tuesdays when the museum is closed for the day, the Reina Sofia offers free access to all as long as it is between the hours of 7 and 9pm - 2 hours before closing. My only qualm is that when we got there, we discovered th...
