We went to barcelona and meething Tura´s PHD friend for lunch at vegeterian restaurants near Barcelona Universiry.A very nice and cosy restaurants, it only cost 9euro and served with 3dishes, dessert and drink.i cant remember the name of the drink as it a mix with white wine and ....was nice.I have headache when taking bus from city to university. The bus is a local bus and turn on heated inside the bus. i felt that i cant breath. One more things i like in that restaurants is the waiter. Only his only serving all tables in Level 1. Not like the waiter in cafe i took in Barcelona, as they not really about the customer.

We rushed back to catched the bus at 430pm to Vic, an hour from city.The bus almost full bcoz a lot of student travel back home.There was a guy was talking very loud from the begining till the end.i felt very irrating.

Finally we back home at 630pm and we picked up some drawing stuff and went to community service center in Olot( Tura´s hometown) as she have meeting.We spend few hours in the center and finally finished banners and poster for the market in DEC.

16th Nov- Mieres exchange market

I had great weekend.Is was super sunny. Tura told me 12th Nov is the Sun martin day.

We woke up at 6am on Sunday.After had breakfast and we moving stuff from garage to car.

The market is located 18km from Olot, a town call Mieres and it was 25 Anniversary.

We arrived Mieres at 810am and was crowded.i tried to find a place and finally Carlos help us found a very strategic place where near the stage.We unloaded stuff from the car and started decorated our mini stall. It took us 45min to set up our stall. This is my time and duno how it worked. I took a round the market and more people just arriving and busy looking for place to put thier stuff.

People started looking and bargain with others when they searched something they want. You are lucky he or she found something useful than it deal. Otherwise no deal or u can ask for the person what he/she what looking at. Than u have to look for the stuff and change with someone than back to the 1st person who u wanted to exchange the stuff. No money involved excpet bargain skills. It just like system barter before money invented.There also parade held in the morning and live bands at stage. When the sun getting hotter and more crowded and people enjoy the sun. More like summer mini concert, full of people and lively.

16th Nov
