After settling down in my new home in Barcelona, I can't wait to start my new semester in ESADE. ESADE is located a little bit away from the city center in Sant Cugat, but it is a tranquil little town with lovely stores around. We had a very short orientation on the courses structures, facilities and security in the city. I was paired up with a local student for the International Buddies Program and he told me a lot about the city and Catalan culture. I was excited to know more about Barcelona and meet some new friends from the other countries.

My Spanish teacher told us that a typical Spanish starts their day with a cafe con leche (coffee with milk) with a piece of toast or biscuits. It is interesting to learn that Spanish have a very late lunch from 2pm to 4pm and a late dinner usually at 9pm. Most stores are closed in the afternoon as Spanish are used to nap in the afternoon. The picture is taken after my Spanish intensive class. I hanged out with my classmates to a famous local restaurant in La Rambus. As a chocolate lover, I am so obsessed with churros, which is said to be the Spanish version of fried dough.

Barcelona is a cosmopolitan city which is famous for its architecture and nightlife. The photo is taken outside the Sagrada Familia. Sagrada Familia is the landmark of Barcelona. This unique medieval cathedral has attracted more than millions of visitors every year. One thing interesting about this church is that it is still under construction since 1882, and it is hoped that the construction will be completed by 2026. Apart from Sagrada Familia, the genius work from Guadi is definitely worth-a-visit.

I have Spanish intensive classes from Monday to Friday for the first two weeks. As I am a complete beginner of Spanish, I found it difficult to catch up with a large amount of vocabularies to be learnt within a few days. Nevertheless, the classes are definitely a unique experience as it is conducted in small groups with a lot of activities and games in between to strengthen our memories. After two weeks of hard works, I am able to order food in a restaurant and read the menu.

We treat our Friday with the famous Paella in Spain after class. After a week of class, I have already established close ties with the other classmates. Unlike Hong Kong, students here participate actively during discussion in classes. They raised hands frequently whenever they have doubts and are not shy to express their opinions in front of the others.
