WORLD OF NADA

Thank God we had free time. We didn't have to do any performance that day. We really needed a day off after the party. We decided to have our own gathering that night so some of us went to the city center in the afternoon.

We really forgot there was siesta. Luckily, we found an opened ice cream shop. We bought different flavours and tried on each other's. They were so good and helped to cool off our mind. We then spread out, walked around the city and shopped for tonight's food supplies. Our time was very limited because we couldn't skip our dinner at the uni.

At around 9pm, we gathered at the alley of our rooms. We talked and shared about the long journey and experiences we'd been through. Each of us got the turns to talk while playing a game. It was nice that we could have mini bonding time.

Back in the uni, we had lunch and rest immediately. We prepared ourselves for the long night. The party was held at the uni park after dinner. Our group was too excited that when we came downstairs, nobody was there so we went back to our rooms and waited. We came back when people started to gather. The music was already being played, some people were dancing while some talking, drinking, and eating. As usual, the typical party drink is Sangria and also some sodas, while for the food is the small bites like popcorns and chips.

That night, the weather changed drastically from previous nights. It was windy and very cold. I wanted to have fun but afraid to get sick at the same time. I didn't care. When will I get a chance like this again with them?

Unlike the first party back in Ribera del Fresno (read here), this one is more organised. The place, decorations, the crowd, they all perfect. The only turn off for me is the music. It is not as up beat as I expected, but I think the people here enjoyed it so much. Overall, it was such a great night and I believe we all had a great time together.

We call it a day with Chile. After being paired in the workshop, we were performing together that night. We performed in a city called Valverde de Leganés. As we arrived, we spotted some kids hanging around. As it was getting darker, more kids came. They were very excited approaching us. Despite the language barrier, we still got along. At first, they didn't believe we are older than them since our heights are almost the same with them. They are really into social media, especially Instagram. Besides asking to take pictures, they asked for our Instagram and insisted to follow them back. Thank God my phone was in my bag :P.

That night, we performed in Mérida. No wonder it was quite a bigger city than any other venues since it is the capital of Extremadura. Wish I had a day to explore this city, I found it interesting enough. We performed with Georgia and we started with a parade. Along the way, I was asking myself what kind of parade we were having, we only met few people in every corner we passed. Where is everybody??

But then, as we arrived in the venue, we gasped in an awe. The place is so amazing! A ruins of Roman building as our background, how cool is that? I actually didn't know the name of the place, when I Google-d it, it's called Acueducto de los Milagros (Miraculous Aqueduct). Turns out it's actually a bridge. Whatever it is, we were happy performing at this place. We had quite a long time to wait so as usual, we used it for photoshoot.
