Hi Joiel,

I'm not a speaker of Catalan, but I went to Barcelona two years ago and was surprised by how common Catalan is. All the ads, many street signs. I was in a metro station waiting for the train and an announcement played. It was only in Catalan, the message board was also only in Catalan. I had to Google the train station I was in to see what was going on. It turned out that there was a train worker strike and all trains would be delayed by hours that day. If I hadn't have checked Google I would have been sitting there for quite some time. It would definitely be to your benefit to study up on it, if not to connect with the locals but also navigate more easily :)

Best wishes!

Oh man, you are so right. Every year at the fair I have the same thing and it's the only time of year I eat it. I get a Pronto Pup Corn Dog and a "prickly pair" lemonade. My mom always used to get a plate of mini doughnuts, so I'd have one of those too. :) As a kid and teenager, I would enter different craft projects into the competitions, macrame, sewing, and bead loom projects. My nieces grew up on a farm and they brought their "Navajo Churro" sheep to show and compete each year as well. Thanks for stirring up some good memories Alice! Happy summer :)

Tattoos

In this note I want to talk about tattoos. This form of art is my favourite (favorite in US) because we put our history, tragedies, happiness, pain, sadness, our fights, goals etc. on our bodies. I have 23 tattoos and I love my skin with ink. Another aspect of tattoos to consider is the cost. Tattoos are too expensive. The artist should be good because if he/she isn't, you have a horrible mark on your skin for the rest of your life. I love it <3

(This tattoo is mine, and is similar to the one Ninja has. Ninja is an singer from Die Antword)

Nice!
