Hi Olga,..
Glad to see you here! Yeah, it`s really exciting story. Actually it`s very great place, though i haven`t been there yet, but some day maybe.... I also think, that we should adapt to the country, its culture and traditions, otherwise it`ll be very difficult to live there. Also many things depend on the country you visit, its atmoshere, will it coincide with your inner world or not? But Spain is an amazing place, its nature, language.... mmmm wish to be there

Hi Olga!

I am really excited about your Blog because, this year, I´m going to travel to Spain! I am visiting Barcelona and Mallorca, so, I hope anxious some comment about that places! I have never been there before but I think that won´t be very dificult for me visit a foreign country like Spain because I have an advantage: I speak spanish (I am from Argentina!!)

Thanks a lot!

Hi, Olga!!!

I liked your blog because I'm planning to visit spain this year during summer. Good to know that the weather is so hot , because I live in Brazil , which means that I'll feel at home (laughs).
Thanks for sharing the information about the bars and how to know which ones are the best.

Hope to hear more from you.

Thanks
Paz

Hello Olga,

Nice to meet new friends, I appreciate your story it tell us a lot of the place that we have never been there such as spain. Unfortunately this post cannot show picture, I'm interesting in Spain Bull Run it's so dangerous but a lot of people anticipate in this event. ^^ Do you know story of Zoro, if you could let us know sometime. :)

Hello and welcome, Olga-from-two-countries!

It's been great fun reading your first post - your lively style of writing will definitely add a lot of sparkle to our days. You seem to have quite a bit of Mediterranean temperament in your blood - have you got Spanish ancestry or how did this affinity to Spain start in the first place?

Can't wait to hear more from you!
All the best,
Elisabeth (Austria)

Hi, Olga...
Thank you very much for your first and really nice post... I totally agree with you about what one should eat abroad... Despite I'm Italian, I never ate during holidays out of my country spaghetti or tortellini or polenta! But ever I sought for eating local food. To name one, what a surprise was to find out in Hungary a few years ago a very good sweet soup with fruit served as first course!!!
So, when I'll go to Spain, be sure I'll enjoy tapas and sangria! :D
See you soon and often,
Sergio

Hi Olga. I like your blog and listening about my country from people no spanish.
I'm not from Madrid, but I passed there two summer hollidays when I was a teenager, a fool teenager. Now, I wouldn't support this city in summer. My eldest sister lives there thirty years ago and when I was much more younger I spent periods in her house becuase I liked being with her and her children, and I had more freedon than living with my parents. So, I made friend wiht others teenagers very different from those I had in my town. In these days, we did street drinking and smoked any joint sometimes.
Therefore, I didn't usually go to "bar de Tapas" in Madrid. We haven't enough money.
I enjoyed "tapas" and "sangria" when I grew up a little. "Tapas" are delicious and cheap in Salamanca, Burgos, Logroño, San Sebastián (not so cheap)... When I worked as spanish foreign language teacher in Salmanca, I had as task to take my studens to different "bares de tapas" one evening.
Spanish isn't a long country, like yours, Ariadna, but there are very different regions. I think Barcelona and Mallorca are very different from Madrid. I think they are more expensive and more "european", but to visit them really worths, without doubt. You know they speak spanish, but as well another lenguage called "calalán", very important.
Best wishes. See you soon.

Hi Olga,

Welcome on board! Thanks for your first debuting blog which presents you as a very energetic and mediterranean-tempred young lady.

Having seen your first picture I am feeling the hot air on my skin again and it reminds me of our days in Spain.

During our holiday Spanish people seemed very friendly and naturally. One of my pleasant experiences was when I saw the locals keeping on going to the little pubs for a drink or two in the warm evenings chatting with the well-known owners about the local news and gossips not being disturbed by tourists. These cosy moments reappeared in my mind while I was reading your essay. I am grateful for it.

To Segio's comment: We Hungarians eat all kinds of soups as the first course of lunch which can be regarded as a main meal of a day. The more you visit our country the more different types of delicious soups you can taste it.

Have a nice early sping day for everyone.

I am looking forward to reading your next blog.

Hi Olga,
I really enjoyed reading your interesting blog. Unfortunately I have never been to Spain. And I would like to visit this wonderful and exciting country one day. I really wish to try out this red wine, Sangria, I am very curious about the taste of it.
You're right that it is important to like the culture, customs and atmosphere the country which you visit.
I wait more interesting blogs.
Best wishes, Virág

Hi Olga,
Welcome to this blog site and thank you for your interesting blog. I never knew that Spain has such a hot climate, I was of the opinion that the whole of Europe was freezing-cold. Obviously, I am non-European and never visited Europe. It's good to learn about the Spanish drink 'Sangria' and the Spanish bar 'Tapas'. Spanish words are so soothing, they call the afternoon nap as 'Siesta' and many a modern and progressive family, here in India, name their daughters 'Siesta'. I love the word irrespective of its meaning.
Thank you Olga and looking forward to your next blog.

Best Regards,
Rajeeb

Hi Olga, I'm Isaac from Indonesia, I'm glad to read your post. It's interesting story about your country. I agree with your opinion about flexibility and adaptability. We also have to learn about cross cultural understanding in order to respect the differences.
