Rainy Days in Norwich

It's been raining since I arrived to Norwich last Wednesday. It's kind of depressing to wake up and see that's raining. However that's how the weather is like in England LOL. As I told you before I live in the University Village and I have to walk like 15 minutes everyday to the main campus. It maybe seems a lot of time walking but actually is not that much. Here you have a picture of the entrance into THE VILLAGE.

Ha estado lloviendo desde que llegue a Norwich. La verdad es que es un poco deprimente levantarse y ver que esta lloviendo. Sin embargo el tiempo en Inglaterra es asi XD. Como os dije anteriormente, vivo en el University Village y tengo que andar todos los dias durante 15 minutos para llegar al campus. Puede parece mucho tiempo andando pero en realidad no es tanto. Aqui os dejo una foto de la entrada a THE VILLAGE

I bought a pair of boots from the brand Spanish XTI and the first day I wore them the fabric of the boot began peeled, so I decided I had to buy immediatly a Rubber Boots. I went to the city center to buy them. When I arrived there I also saw this amazing hat and I had to buy it. Now I'm ready for the cold winter in Norwich.

Me compré unas botas de la marca española XTI y el primer dia que me las puse el material del que esáan hecha se empezó a pelar, asi que decidí comprarme unas botas de agua inmediatamente. Fui a la ciudad a comprarlas y cuando llegue vi este gorro tan genial y me lo tuve que comprar. Ahora ya estoy preparada para el frio invierno en Norwich.

There are two bars on campus. The Red Bar (with red sofas) and the Blue bar (with blue sofas). Can you guess which bar are we in????

It's a great place to be and have a chat with your friends...however drinks are kind of expensive. 1.90 for a little glass of malibu pineapple :S

Hay dos bares en el campus. El Red Bar (con sillones rojos) y el Blue Bar (con sillones azules). ¿Podeis adivinar donde estamos nosotras?

Es un lugar genial para estar y hablar con tus amigos. Sin embargo las bebidas son un poco caras. Casi 4 euros por un mini vaso de malibu con piña :S

SHOPPING DAY @ NORWICH CITY CENTER

From now on the blog will be in two languages: English and Spanish. I do this because there's maybe some people who want to read my blog now I'm on England, but that so not know English at all.

The picture you see below are the shoppinng bags from today. It was definitely a crazy shopping day. There was too many things to buy for the kitchen and the room and bathroom. It was also crazy because on our way back to Uni it started raining and we were walking all the way with thousands of shopping bags :S.

We walked a lot from the bus stop to the Residence and now I'm soooooooooo tired!!!!!

However the worst part of today was that I opened my UEA email to find out I have a lot of things to do for one of my classes; and thatI have to hand in thousands of essays during the semester. I also have an oral exam pretty difficult all in French. I will post the guides for the exam tomorrow. Now I'm so tired I'm going to bed. Tomorrow is going to be a long long day.

De ahora en adeltante el blog estará escrito en dos idiomas. inglés y español. Lo hago porque quizas algunas personas empiecen a leer mi blog ahora que estoy en Norwich y no sepan inglés.

La foto que veis abajo son las bolsas de la compra de hoy.Ha sido desde luego un dia de locura. Teniamos que comprar demasiadas cosas para la cocina, habitacion y baño. Ha sido ademas una locura porque ha empezado a llover cuando volviamos a la Uni con miles de bolsas en la mano :S

Hemos andado muchisimo desde la parada del bus hasta la resi y ahora estoy muyyyyyyyy cansada.

Lo peor del dia de hoy ha sido el llegar a casa, abrir el email de la Uni y enncontrarme con que tengo un moontón de cosas que hacer para una de mis clases, y que tengo que entregar millones de trabajos. Tmbién tengo un examen oral en francés bastante dificil. Mañana colgare las instrucciones del examen para que lo veais.

Ahora estoy tan cansada que me voy a dormir. Mañana va a ser un largo dia!!!

LOVE U ALL

XOXO

THE KARATE KID

Yesterday afternoon I took my little cousins to watch THE KARATE KID. I was thrilled to finally being able to watch the movie.

I have to say that the movie is AWESOMEEEEEEE. Jade Smith performance is breathtaking, and Jackie Chang is amazing as always. I laugh a lot and I also cry.

The kung fu moves are impressive and the soundtrack is really good.

I have to say you won0t be dissappointed with the movie :D

VOGUE FASHION NIGHT OUT RECAP

A great nigth...I told you, if u are not going you will regret it.

We arrive at 7.50 to Serrano and it was literally crowded. Our first stop was Carolina Herrera because they have a give away if you waer your nails in red. However when we arrived to the store, a poster said "we are closed...you can find us in Serrano 16" - which was so far away.

On our way down to CH we saw the Photocall in Chopard and decided to give it a try. We arrived and ask the photographer if he could take us a picture (he did it and printed the photo for us!!!! I will scaned it and upload it)

The one you see here is with my camera. The one the photographer took is much better.

We were a bit mad because we walked a lot to CH and now we had to walk all the way back :S. Fortunately we saw some cars with the Logo VFNO, and they took us to the other CH. It was crazy!!!!!

The driver drove way too fast that some picture we took during the ride were blurry hehehehe.

The queue was endless, and the gift was worthless. We decided not to wait the queue and we headed to other place: Trucco. There we drank champagne rosè!!!!

We were exhausted from walking from there to here, etc and suddenly we saw the VFNO cars again!!!! We took them and went to Vasari. We enter into Vasari with no objections...but for the cocktails they ask for a golden passport which we didn0t have so they tell us we had to go :(

Then we went to Juicy Couture. It was crazy!!!! there was a carousel, pictures printed in the moment and mojitos!!!!!! We had an amazing time there

And finally my favourite store of all times - TYFFANY & CO - I tried on my future engagement ring. It the Tyffany Setting, size 6, 0.65 carats :D

On our way back to Colon, where Andres was goin to pick us up, we saw this amazing photocall and those amazing diamond rings. We stoped there and took some pics!!!!! You know how much was the ring??? 26000 €!!!!!!!!!!!
