Life in Spain - snapshots... (II)

After yet another meeting, I remember to mention a quick cultural update:
NC: Hey guys, have you heard Pearl Jam are coming to Madrid in September?
JD: Ah! Ok... (typical reaction to portunhol...)
NC: Come on! Have you heard!??! PEARL JAM IN TOWN!!
JD: Really... But who are they??
NC: PEARL JAAAAAAM!! The american band... I know you don't listen to much non-spanish music, but come on... Pearl Jam!!
JD: Nope… never heard of them!
NC: P E A R L J A M ! Jeremy spoooooken lalalaa…. Don’t call me daughter… lalala… I seeeem to recognize your faaaaace… lalala… Nothingmaaaaaaan… Nothingmaaaaaaan…
JD: AAAaahhhh!!! Pearl Yam!

... the inability of spanish people to express the letter J still surprises me...


Carpe Diem!

ooo wait wait wait, Nuno! :)
Which city do you live in right now, Madrid? or Barcelona by any chance? :P

I'll be dropping in in Barcelona for 1 day on the 24th of June on my way from Estonia to Ecuador. I shall now keep my fingers crossed to find out that you also live in B :)))

it took me a bit of reading to realize - you must be living in Madrid!
hmm..unfortunate!
any chance you'd be hanging out in B around the 24th of June? :)))
