A Week for "Firsts"

So this week has been a week for firsts for me. What do I mean by that? Well for the first time this week I ate Indian food, visited a chocolate museum, and went out on a Wednesday night.

Indian food: On Tuesday I met up with my Spanish professor Ana from our Spanish intensive course and the rest of our class (or as she likes to refer to us as, "family"). We ate dinner at an Indian restaurant called Rani India in the L'Eixample area. Although I love all kinds of food, I have never actually tried Indian food before. I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed many of the dishes (although I did cheat a bit by eating the "non-spicy" versions of each dish). Some of the ones I liked the most included the lamb and the lentil beans. My favorite part of the meal however was meeting back up with Ana. She was a wonderful teacher and very funny too - one of the funniest class moments had to have been when she started singing Kesha's Tik Tok!

Chocolate Museum: This week I only had one class (my Invisible Organizations class on Thursday from 9-2) due to ESADE's career fair. To take advantage of the time off, I decided to explore Barcelona a little bit more. A little bit ago I heard that Barcelona had a chocolate museum not too far from where I live. On Wednesday I decided to explore the museum for myself and was again pleasantly surprised! As your entrance ticket, you receive a bar of dark chocolate made right in the museum. The museum is small, but very cute and you even get to see students learning how to temper chocolate and create chocolate art pieces in their chocolate institution.

One of my favorite chocolate masterpieces! The house from Disney's Up

After visiting the museum I spent the rest of the afternoon walking through the area I live, El Born. It is a very cute area that has many little stores and restaurants. I will definitely be visiting some of those soon.

Wednesday night: Well this one doesn't need much explanation, but for the first time ever as a college student I went out on a Wednesday night. We went to one of Barcelona's famous discotecas, Razzmatazz. A very fun time, but maybe not the wisest decision with class at 9am. We did get home early according to Barcelona's standards though.... 4am! Needless to say I needed the night off tonight to recuperate and the boys and I will be watching Eastern Promises before heading to bed. Never heard of it, but hope it's good.

Hasta pronto!
