A nice rendezvous.

It was time to meet old friends and last Friday was one of these special days. I haven’t seen Loco since more than a year and I had only met with Glo and Marconato (about my university colleagues). We spoke about a bit of this and that: people, politics, cinema, girlfriends, food … We spent all the evening chatting and it was a pity Rick couldn’t come. Next time!!! We went to Ñeru (typical Spanish) and the Starbucks Café (the famous and expensive American chain) in Gran Via Street.

During that evening I realized changes in the city centre. There are more and more foreign people in Madrid and this “cosmopolitation” process is being accelerated year by year. Globalization is causing you can find people from a lot of places and I think it can be positive and according to one of the most important feature of Madrid: an opening city to people. While poor people are looking for a job, rich people are looking for fun.

Time passed fast and Loco had to meet with his girlfriend, so he invited me to meet her. She seemed shy but sweet girl. Loco offered me to go with them to the cinema and I accepted enchanted. We took the tickets for “Manuale de Amore 2” (so funny) and we went to the Burger until the film started. We spoke about our crazy and disordered university life. About this, Loco told me he regretted to erase his weblog because now he can’t read anything about that time. Anyway, he can read mine or Rick’s. One thing it’s true: life’s so different now and we must leave this nostalgic feeling about this period (life goes on and we can find new good things). Stagnation is a bad symptom and life’s so hard and exigent.

Inside the cinema I found Nuria (with his boyfriend), a chick who works in the Vet Department. We spoke about work and the film. We liked it so much and I didn’t know anything about the first part, probably cos’ I was in Ireland.

Next step is a big party with all our friends. And it must be soon because we said to do it in February and it’s just finishing. So, it’s time to send mails asking for dates, places and people. And attending to circumstances, we’ve 15 days so I propose Friday 9th, 9 PM but other restaurant (though Casa Adolfo is fantastic in the quality/price relation). I would like to change for this time.

See you soon,
