Freshers Wellcome Week

The first week was plenty of new things, places, people and university wellcome acts.
Maybe there are too much new stuff!

When I arrived to my place my first thought was It is like a jail! but now I am used.

Some photos:

My verrry first friends in Belfast are some kindly Finnish people that you can see in the next picture (click to see who is who). In fact, I am spending so much time with them that I will be blondy soon. Currently, I can say hello in Finnish with a good Tampere accent.

I live in the main accommodation facilities of the university, Elms Village. There are many buildings here, and several floors in each one. I am in the ground floor of Oak Avenue 8 and the kitchen and the toilets are shared by eleven students. I am really glad of stay in this floor because most of the people (ten out of eleven) are internationals, so our kitchen is the most international kitchet of the village!

All the people is very friendly, and there aren't dominant nationalities. We have:
  • Three American girls.
  • Two Polish guys. They study political science and spreads the great Polish Vodka across the worl in their free time.
  • One Finnish guy. Computer scientist and our best football player.
  • One Netherlands guy. He studies physics but he surprises me sometimes with computer-like comments.
  • Our Belgium English expert.
  • Two for the price of one Portuguese girls. Only one of their live in our building but there are people here that don't know yet what girl.
  • One Irish girl. Best English in the floor... and also know a little bit of Spanish (but when she speaks in Spanish I anser in English).
  • Me! Spanish pavilion on the top.
In addition, there are more international people that goes (out) with us. Some of them are from Poland, Belgium, Finland (Moro!), Mexico (Jorge, campeón!), and so on.
I don't have (yet) a photo with all the people, but there are some shots with that people.

Do you have also a freshers week? And also with a lot of first year students getting drunk along the university pub's through the day? xD

Well, we have a lot of activities for the freshers week but if you want to participate you have to pay the amount of 30 pounds and the typical Spanish budget isn't prepared for that. So many Spanish (and me) are excluded from that events :_( But it doesn't mind, French people has the passes and says that the parties sucks!


Well, remember, we want to hear from you as often as you can!!
