It's December already!

Time is flying. I am now living in Barcelona almost four months which means that the time I still will live here is going to be shorter with every day. On the one hand I am really looking forward to see my friends and family more often again, but on the other hand rightnow I don't want to think about the day where I will leave this great city and all my friends I got to know during my stay here in Spain.

But, first of all, some more impressions about my time in Barca.

For the working-aspect, there are no real changes. I still like the company, my colleagues and the work. It is noticeable that the year will be over in a few weeks, because orders are coming less and less. I started with a new small project. In order to develop a new market with different types of wires (for galvanizing companies), I am doing a research for companies in Europe, such as Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Benelux, and skandinavian countries, that may use and need these special types of wires. Afterwards, I will contact the, hoping to get them as new customers.

On the 23rd of December, Exel Fil has winterholidays up to the 8th of January 2012.

I am really looking forward to going back home to Germany for a few days because I didn't see my family and friends for four months.

But nevertheless, rightnow I am not really in "christmas-mood" because it is still too warm. Today we had 15° C and a lot of sun, so I was able to enjoy some German Lebkuchen my parents sent me for Sinterklaas on my balkony :)

Actually, Barcelona is ready for Christmas since the beginning of November, but to be honest, I never was a fan of christmas decoration, sweets in stores and christmas songs that early, but definitely not with these temparatures!!

At the 2nd weekend of November I went surfing with some friends in the morning, and it was so warm on this day that we were able to walk in jeans and t-shirt to the beach - at 9.30h in the morning. So the christmas decoration in the streets really looked strange to me.

Two weeks ago a friend visited me and we went up to the castle of Montjuic in Barcelona, from where you have a wonderful view on the whole city.

We were enjoying the sun and the great atmosphere, and my friend even got sunburned, so, the wheater is amazing here in Barcelona :)
