The Last Queen's Day

This year I had double lucky. I enjoyed another Queen's Day in Groningen, and besides that, I experienced part of the history in Holland for the last year of the kingdom of the Queen Beatrix (Queen of the Netherlands)!!! It was very special, due to the environment ... This year, Groningen has been even more orange than last year... or maybe last year I didn't put so much attention in that.... but this year there was orange stuff in every place or shop of the city.

As you can see further down, these are pictures all over the city, even inside of the supermarkets there was orange and costumed products with the picture of the past Queen and the new King (Willem Alexander).

And about the party, I have to say that I enjoyed Queen's Day more last year... Last year I danced in the street with a lot of friends of my student house and I was almost 15 hours giving the best of myself in the streets of Groningen..... It was very special... I would like to show you some pictures of last year!!! This year I have missed them a lot!!!!!

And this year, I enjoyed much more Queen's Night.... I spend a great time with new friends and I was dancing almost to dawn. Next day, in Queen's Day, I was so tired due to night before and I went to bed very early!!!! 

And now I want to share with you all moments of the people with whom I shared Queen's Night 2013.

I don't know if I come back next year, but I will always carry the good memories of these two years in my heart.

My trip to Rotterdam

Since I started this blog I haven't posted pictures of my trips for all over the world. I would like to do it occasionally and show you that I don't take the typical pictures tourists take.... as maybe I told you before in another post, I prefer to take pictures of graffiti, shop windows, untypical places, unsuspecting people.... and to have in my memory other kinds of memories.

But this time I am going to show you pictures of the city of Rotterdam, its main streets and buildings. I was there a few days ago when I went with a friend after I had a job interview in Amsterdam that same morning.

Rotterdam isn't the typical Dutch city... is most similar to other European cities like Brussels or London (with high buildings and modern places), but I saw that Rotterdam is really quite to be such a modern city!!!! It's a little confused... because can  you imagine London, Berlin or Madrid with a crowd in all its streets?? Rotterdam is of this way... although I was in the afternoon... I don't know if during the morning there is more business atmosphere...

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this short trip to Rotterdam through my pictures!!

My first interview in English!!

Hi guys!!! Today I had my first job interview professional in English!! It was such an experience!! like some of you know, I am in the Netherlands in order to improve my English but also to look for an internship... besides from the Netherlands, I am looking for an internship also in the UK too, in fact the interview of today was for working in a city near to Liverpool. 

I was a little nervous at the beginning but when I started talking about the first question I become more calm and confident and I was able do the interview more or less fine (I think at least). 

I want to tell you the questions that they ask me in the interview, so if you are in the same position as me, you can practise them!!! 

-Tell me something about yourself.

-Describe yourself in five adjectives.

-Strengths and weakness.

-Why do you want to do an internship in the marketing deparment?

-Do you work fine under pressure?

-My favourite advertisment.

-What do you know about the company?

-Do you have any questions?

It didn't take much time, only 15 minutes and it was on Skype. The girl was very friendly... especially if after all she gives me the internship!! hahahahah.

Well, now it's time to wait.... I will know the results in a week, but I am not going to stop with my search of internship.... I can't wait for finding an internship in a creative position and to gain experience working abroad.

ayy guys, wish me luck!!!!

My last time in Groningen

Hi friends!! It was a long time since I wrote in the blog about my last steps, but as most of you know I have been in Granada since Christmas. I have really spent a great time in Granada with my family and friends and of course I have enjoyed the weather, the traditional food, the good friendships... although I have also tried to take some time for improving my English (taking courses here in Granada) and for my search for internships.

And now it's time to move and to do an an intensive search for interships all over the Netherlands. So I have to start preparing my luggage because in a very few days I will be in Groningen again.

Why Groningen again?

I like the lifestyle in the Netherlands, I am really in love of going everywhere on bike. It's really awesome for the people that aren't accustomed to do it in their hometown. Another reason is the language... I am trying to improve my English level and the Netherlands is a country which allows me do it. The last reason is that I have some good friends living there and I want to share a good time with them while I am looking for an internship, especially in Groningen where I a share flat with two of my best friends.

Why for the last time?

I think I won't come back to Groningen after this time... I like the city, but I don't want to live there alone without my Erasmus people so I will be there for the next two months and I hope to find something good and if it doesn't happen, I will begin again with other plans.

To sum up, I will spend the next months in Groningen, studying and looking for an internship as a visual merchandiser or in a marketing department, and meanwhile I hope to spend a great time with all my friends who are living there and waiting for everyone who wants to come.... Queen's Day waits us!!!!

Who has not seen the video Granaino Style yet?

Since a few days we have the opportunity of watching a video called "Granaino Style" in some social media. Probably if you are from Spain or if you are living in Spain, especially in Granada, you have already seen it.

The video is made humorously and has achieved more than five hundred thousand click on Youtube in only three days. Now I would like to share with you all. 

It shows different words and expression very used very oftenfor the granadinos and the most important landmarks of the city, all together with the music and the style of the famous song "Gangam Style". I almost forgot!!! For people who aren't from Spain, Granaino means the name to call to the people borne in Granada.

I hope you enjoy the video and that all of you get to know a little more about Granada watching it.

Congrats!!! One year that you already know me ;-)

Tomorrow I am going to find you.... you can't avoid that . You will be in the right place and we will see each other for the first time.... and after you ask me for my nationality.... we will be good friends, some days more than others... but, you will be an important part the upcoming months. Although you will only be four months in my life, you will give me a lot of good memories that I will always remember. Sound familiar? hehehe, you can call me crazy for this... but you already knew that I was this way ;-) I miss you.... I  hope you also remember the good times that we had together and I hope we see each other soon... and to continue living crazy nights on bike ;-)

It's a beautiful day and I can't see it

Today I want to show you a video that I have just seen... and it seems to me that it is a really good advertisement and for this reason I want to share with you all. It's about how words can help us to tell a message in the best manner. This is the video:

What do you think about it?

In my opinion, it's a good advertisement because it "moves the feelings" of the audience. The old man is blind and he can't see the same as you, but moreover, if he can't see something beautiful that is happening at the moment... you feel more sorry for him. Am I right?

Someday, I would like to work as a publicist, because I like to evoke emotions in other people... help them to think about things for a few minutes,which we don't put much attention to in our normal day.
