Nueva Vida

After 10 years of waking up seeing the Sierra de San Miguelito from my room window is a pleasure to have a new view. Is what we call Change, but,

What does that mean?

What do we change?

Why do we care about change?

I don't know but I'm anxious to find out.

Life was relatively comfortable for me so far but I am at a point where I want it to be complicated and although it scares me, I like the idea of living in a foreign country with people who don't speak your language. I'd like to think that's what emotion is.

So far I've met people who, just like me, arrived here looking for that change and it was given to them with no problems, my situation is the same, I will try to find my new life starting Monday, in the mean time I´ll do my best to enjoy the weekend off, hoping it'll be the last one without a job.

Living here is expensive, you can spend 1 pound on public transportation or 5 pounds for a meal at McDonalds, but its just a temporary feeling, I hope, and that is why I need to get a job.

Now on the bright side, I've enjoyed the city more than I thought I was going to, the people, the vibe, and the lifestyle are unique.

I've never seen a city that is so enjoyed by people as London, where bycicles are the ultimate way of transportation and most importantly, being part of the road as much as a car.

A city where you can walk at midnight and you feel safe.

Where you can dress whatever you like without feel any shame.

I really like those ideas and I´m eagger to find out what´s in store for me.

Living here living now.
