Tzau,


My brains are not working right now to make some good headers, so this is what you get. So new week again and back to business.. Still very busy at our office, new offer requests are coming from everywhere..so I'm sending requests, offers, confirmations, invoices etc. as hard as I can. Everybody is very busy right now, cos' upcoming months are the most popular times to visit this great city..So a little bit hard to get any hotel rooms to groups from anywhere at this point..But everyone is doing their best. 

Weekend was lot's of fun again. On Friday, we just had a quiet Mexican night with Reetta. It was great, cos' we both we're pretty exhausted after the work week. We had tortillas, nachos, salsa and Coronas (of course). On Saturday, I did little bit shopping in the morning, then we went jogging to Barceloneta. It was soooo nice, cos' sun was shining and people we're already hanging by the beach. Oh God, I cannot wait that March,April comes so we can go to beach...yeii. Then we went to eat some tapas and waited to see Carneval parade in Paral-lel, but it was pretty lame..nothing special there, so we just decided to have our own Carneval and started to dress up for the night. We had bought masks and muffs and put glitter everywhere..hehheh and then we went to Barceloneta again do some clubbing..
On Sunday we we're supposed to go to Sitges but ermmm..After partying untill 7am on Sunday morning, we we're little bit tired and the weather wasn't nice either, so we skipped that. I think it's going to be prettier to go there when it's sunnier. 


So World Mobile Congress in on next Monday. It will take place at Fira Montjuic, and I'm sure here's gonna be so much people by then. Where I work, I think everybody kind of hopes this whole congress is already gone, cos' it has been such a hustle cos' of that. 
Oh yeah and finally I got confirmation, that my Spanish lessons are starting on 5th of March. I was waiting them to start yesterday, but I guess there wasn't enough people attending or something. But it's gonna be good, I really wanna learn.


I always feel like, I don't remember tell anything in this blog that I was going to. Maybe I shouldn't always write this when I'm tired..Ok, anyways, maybe next time will be better :)


Saludos,


Nora

6 weeks in Barcelona!

Wuhuu, 6 weeks now in Barcelona! Times is going still too fast.. I would like that time would just stop and I could stay in this place for the rest of my life. I'm so happy cos' sun is shining and they're promising that it's gonna be sunny weekend, yes! Barcelona Carnival is starting tomorrow and it's gonna last until 22th of Feb, Wuhuu it's fiesta time! So here is lot of going on now and we're gonna of course enjoy it as much as we can. On Sunday, me and Reetta are going to Sitges to see how is carnival there :)

In our office is still pretty busy times and everybody's working as much as they can. Thank God, I also got better from that flu last week! I have being almost all the time at our office, except today I went to CCIB , which is Barcelona's international Convention Center in Diagonal Mar. I went there to get Congress material to one Finnish group and then took it to their hotel. The Congress that is there is called ECCO and it's about Inflammatory Bowel Diseases and it's gonna start tomorrow. It has also been very busy at work cos' Mobile World Congress 2012 is on 27th Feb and there is lot's of people going there!

We decided with Reetta to book a flights to Paris on 8th of March! Reetta has that whole week vacation, but I have only thursday and friday off so I'm going to have rest 3 days at some other point. But we are so excited to go Paris, neither of us has never been there and one our friend, Elina, is doing her internship there so it's so much fun to see her. I think we're gonna stay in hostel there and it helps that our roomie is from Paris, so he's telling us which we should go or not to go:) 

Ok, but I'm starting to end here..I hope weekend comes fast and CAAARNNIIIIVAL, hehee. We have to get some costumes, to Sitges at least..

Oh ps. yesterday was Valentine's Day so Happy Valentine's Day to everyone! and ppps. I got the sweetest present from my friend, gracias guapa <3

Still going strong..

Holaaa,


Hellou, I'm actually writing this post from my bed cos' I have this stupid flu that has been lasting since Saturday. I went to work yesterday and noticed that it maybe wasn't the best idea..But I'll hope I'll be ready to go again tomorrow. I'm sick of this coughing, nose running...aargh
I think I got cold last week, when it was raining, and stupid me wanted to go 
shopping to Maremagnum even tough I was wet as h***.. Thank god, this week, the sun is shining again and it's looking like the weather is getting warmer again. Jeiii:) 

I have been loving to work last weeks, even tough it's kind a busy right now
at the office, especially when one girl is having her holiday. It of course
affects cos' we're such a small agency. Last week I have been doing again confirmations, offers to our suppliers..TourPlan is fun!
Last Thursday I went to Sagrada Familia to get tickets for this one Swedish group coming up and it didn't went like we'd planned. Our office had got the wrong info from Sagrada Familia and that group has to go to get tickets at the same day they'll arrive. So no can do there.. 
On Friday I went to Camp Nou to get 40 tickets to this Norwegian group, who we're suppose to come here on that afternoon, and took the tickets to their hotel in Gracia..Well, from my part, everything went ok, but cos' of some huge snowstorm in Amsterdam, this group got stucked there and never came to BCN. Byhyy :(

Weekend was also very successful even tough I started to have my flu. On Friday evening me and Reetta went to eat out to this Japanese Restaurant at Paral-lel. Oh and it was so gooood. We ate 6 courses menu there, including vegetable rolls, sushi, soup, salad etc. and great White wine (I don't usually even drink wine but this was perfecto).We have to go there again! Oh and for dessert Baileys with ice..Yummyy. We have been eating lot's of tapas here, so this was good change for us, also.
Later on, we went to Raval for a while and of course, Latin bar.. What would Fridays be, if we'd skip that..hahaaa

On Saturday, we cooked traditional Finnish meal to our french roomie Hugo. Actually, I hadn't even tasted it before but I don't know so much cooking either..haha. But Reetta had this great idea to do casserole, where's potatoes, beef and cheese and then we made nice salad with that. It was very good and Hugo liked it too..Now we're waiting when he's gonna make french food for us..hihhii. On Saturday night we went to Barceloneta to Opium Mar, very nice club there. We had a blast and met some great beautiful people:) 
On Sunday we we're nervous to know, who's gonna be Finland's next president and well yeah, not who I voted, but what can you do.. 


Today is Barca-Valencia match coming up again, I wish I would have the energy to go watch it. Hope so! 
But this is it now, besitos to everyone and have fuuuun <3


Best regards, 
Nora
