Holidays>New project




Too long time without writing, too many things to tell,.. Let´s be concise!

I've been in Festes de Pedreguer from the 11th of July until the 20th.
A friend of mine from New Zeland came to visit me the first weekend, we went to the beach, to a concert (Desgavell,...), we saw the fireworks from Dénia and I showed him around. He wanted to run in front of the bulls and he managed to do it! it was amazing! I guess he was the first asian guy that run in front of the bulls from Pedreguer!! I enjoyed a lot having him around but on Monday he left,.. he had to come back to his work,..
During the rest of the week I was going out everyday, meeting with friends, watching the bulls and eating well. The weather was not perfect,.. it was cloudy for some days,.. but still I could enjoy the sun and the beach. I met my friend from Pedreguer (les Perverses), my 'quintos', my friends from Dénia,Arnau and Carme, Tereseta, and of course my family!!! my little cousins have grown up a lot!!!

I've been in the 'cordà' where the people plays to trough rockets to each other inside a huge cage. I went to see the 'rally humoristic' where people with costumes hang around trying to answer some questions about folk culture and has to do some funny physical tests. There I ended up singing 'Una chica yeyé' with Albert and in front of more than 100 people!! I went to 'El Quatre', to the dinner with 'els quintos', the people that has the same age as me. I saw the fireworks,.. 9 days of non-stop where I managed to disconnect perfectly from the work and the London life,... So hard to come back to London after such a beautiful time surrounded by people that really appreciate me: so many lovely people that, of course, I miss,..

When I came back I worked one more week on City of Justice and then,.. finally I got a new project!! I am doing a tower in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and I'm in charge of doing a 6 floors SPA for women in the last floors of the building, that means above 400 meters hight!!! It will probably be the highest SPA in the world!! I'm so excited!!A new life seems to arrive at the office,.. new project, new people,.. and people that I will miss working with,.. but I'm sure it will be nice! This week a Japanese guy has joined our team and next week my friend Andrés from Madrid will do it, it will be nice to have some familiar face around!

In my life some more things have changed. Last week I joined the gym and I'm trying to go 3 times per week. I've already been in yoga class, in aqua gym, swimming, threadmill,...And Sharan will come with me! We will be very fit!!

Last Sunday I went with my father and some friends to the Oyster Festival in Witstable, it was a very sunny day and we had very nice time there.

Now there are some travels waiting for me. In August I'll go first to Dublin and after to New York. And probably I'll go to Venice in September, I've never been to the Venice Biennale and I would like to go this year. Let's see,... The summer is going too fast!!!!
