Next Sunday there will be no "Sunday in Madrid", as we celebrate the birthday of Jesus. I wish you, your families and friends a Merry Christmas and a happy new year (que seas feliz!) We read again, because you like it, in two weeks when I will celebrate with my brother the year in Madrid. Thank you for your interest. Nina 
On a Sunday like this ... Antje have it, Paul and I still clumsy burglary the dark in the Retiropark done. As a reward that we've done it a hangover out of bed, there were churros and even potatoes with broccoli bechamel. In general, our program the last few days has always turned to the food, was that dessert never missed and the digestion was also more relaxed on the couch instead; O) Apropo food: I consider the blog to continue in March under the title "Sunday in the stomach "to report and what vegetarians eat so because some people (Spaniards) still can not imagine. Antje and Paul (1 photo) are a pleasant visit, I enjoy intimacy, insider gossip and just lots of laughter. Yesterday we were on a 60 invited to the party Melanie had us and we have elaborate pre-annealed at the Museum "Reina Sofia". Glowing and mysterious, it was on Friday than on the "Plaza de Oriente" between the Opera and the Royal Palace "lights with music" took place (3rd photo) Everything was illuminated by torch-like structures and the trees were playing music, I would be "experimental" call music. Meret Becker had left there paying attention. From another corner louder sounds came from a DJ in the summer house, which mixed classical music with faster beats. Now we see "Operation Triunfo" (Spain Idol) and wait until at 4.00 clock on Antje's taxi to the airport. ordered from the fixed network wanted us to die Zentrale kein Taxi schicken, da meine Mitbewohnerin mal ihren Zug verpasst hatte, weil das Taxi nicht kam und als es dann endlich da war, wollte Elisa den Fahrer natürlich nicht bezahlen. Nun haben wir´s vom Handy bestellt, mal sehen ob´s kommt! Diese Woche war ich zum zweiten Mal in der Gustav Klimt Ausstellung diesmal mit meinem Germanistikkurs und einer Führung. Interessant wie der "Übermensch" von Nietzsche durch Klimt dargestellt wurde. Schön, wenn sich mal Zusammenhänge auftun. Außerdem versuche ich momentan mir auf jede Art und Weise Vitamine einzuflößen und habe endlich mal die "Gazpacho"(2. Foto) probiert, was ja eigentlich eine kalte Gemüsesuppe für den Sommer ist, die es aber das ganze Jahr how about a vegetable juice in Tetra Pack is. As the German note was written on the box: "Please apply cool" in this sense until next Sunday when it's time again: "On a Sunday like this ..." 
On a Sunday like this ... I'm walking through the park to have a little blown away by this strange week. For I'm not even in the "Retiro Park", but in the "Campo del Moro" (1 photo) with impressive views of the Royal Palace. This park was empty because it can only be achieved very complicated, but worth it! There is a mysterious forest and I have even seen a wonderful tame peacocks. Strangely, the week was because I lived a whole day, namely Monday, Uni had. On Tuesday, my professor had no time on Wednesday was English Constitution Day, on Friday was the celebration of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin and then a long weekend on Thursday filed. During this Puente (bridge) across Spain and Madrid was on the road was still more crowded than usual I used the time to catch a cold myself. What does catch a cold, so with just hurt all the back of the head, even my teeth and my fingernails, and eventually all be demolished, which was of course the worst of everything, O) or better "is" because this is all about the mountain I still somehow am not. Fortunately, I had but to a doctor because I've heard about horror stories! If you would like an appointment, you have closest to the "Centro de Salud" and then you get one later for four weeks. A private treatment costs as faster around 300 € and I know girls who simply by the doctor could, because they have broken out in tears of despair. Well, I've also geschohnt but not enough: on Wednesday I was with Edith because she had invited to celebrate St. Nicholas on German Art. I bought gingerbread and marzipan stollen at Lidl and Edith made herself, mulled wine and shared the homemade cookies her mother. Sorry, I forgot the memory card of my camera and so there is no visual documents of this fun gathering. On Friday I was in the ballet "Coppélia" (3rd photo) and it was so so nice. 
An einem Sonntag wie diesem... habe ich eigentlich so gar nichts wirklich gemacht. Lange geschlafen, das Wohnzimmer geputzt, in dem ich nun sitze und "Mars Attack" geguckt. Am Wochenende fühle ich mich hier immer schon wie an Weihnachten, weil die sogenannten "blogbuster"(ha ha: "blog") immer am Nachmittag laufen. Lange geschlafen, da ich gestern mal wieder ein wenig feiern war bei Nadia in der WG (3.Foto) und anschließend noch in eine dieser 15 € Diskos namens "Joy". Allerdings haben wir nun den Trick raus, den Eintritt zu sparen, in dem man an nächstgelegenen Plätzen der Disco nach dem Promo- Typen sucht, der einem dann Freikarten gibt! Kino habe ich mir auch gegönnt, diese Woche gab es "Das Parfum" zu sehen und ich muss sagen, ich bin sehr begeistert. Besser hätte man das Buch nicht verfilmen können, diese Stille gepaart mit solcher Brutalität, Begierde und Menschlichkeit und das ganze in eindrucksvollen, mal sehr kleinen aber auch gigantischen Bildern. Dann war ich auf einer Comicmesse , die war sehr nett, lustige Stimmung und Aktionen. Und am internationalen Aidstag wurde die berühmte Statue "Cibeles" von Musicaltänzern bei klassischer Musik in rotes Schleifenband gehüllt (1. Foto) Otherwise, I have read diligently for the university (2nd photo) My dance teacher has started this week with a new choreography, but with a music of "Alegria" - very nice! Then there was the important message this week: Letizia is the second time a little princess give birth. It is the first time that the royal family the sex of the child's birth announced. This time of the political importance as well now finally the constitution be amended to have the privilege of male successors to the throne, or something like that ... I've understood in English; O) The architecture of the English houses saves yes to ground for the walls and so I had to endure all week that the Tochter der Nachbarin mit Blockflöte (!) begonnen hat und ich habe noch nie die Melodie von "Carmen" so unleidenschaftlich gehört! Ahh! Was mir aber an den Spaniern gut gefällt ist, das viel mehr Komplimente untereinander gemacht werden. Natürlich sind sie manchmal reichlich übertrieben, das merke ich daran, wenn mir jemand sagt, ich würde ja so gut spanisch sprechen! ;O) Aber es versüßt einem einfach den Tag was nettes über sein Lächeln oder die Kleidung zu hören. Die Sprache ist einfach anders, der Imperativ wird viel öfter genutzt und zwar ohne "Bitte" im Anschluß zu sagen. Aber nochmal zu den Komplimenten, da komme ich auf "James Bond" sehr amüsant fand ich auch die Nebenrolle Jürgen Tarrant, James throws the car keys because he considers him a hotel employee. I forgot to say also that I the last week a "Uma Thurman" - I found pin. In "Pulp Fiction" pose, which is now officially here auctioned to the highest bidder (Aufruf!) So, do not forget the candle auzumachen and by next Sunday! 
On a Sunday like this ... I have searched in vain all morning on and around the Rastromarkt after the birthday present for my grandma. I am looking for a leather jacket for books because of my grandmother fall apart soon. But this article seems from another time. In the evening I wanted to read it with Edith A further series of German short films in the "Anti-Museum", but she noted with horror that she leave her wallet in a café, we are fast there and luckily the woman waved behind the bar already so when she saw Edith. For the films it was too late and so we went to drink a few beers. But do not worry, I'm doing better than last week; O) 
Thank you for your love letters, calls and messages! I was delighted, especially, is as far away from home meant to me! And here on the ground I was allowed to receive congratulations. I look forward to seeing many of you again in a few weeks! besitos y abrazos / kisses and hugs 
On a Sunday like this ... I Klaus, who just visited me, showed the city. In the evening we saw then the breathtaking show "Alegria" of the "Cirque du Soleil" (2 photo, his gift for me) the whole was pretty "powered by emotions", O) because the song reminds me of "Alegría" because has, as I said in the tenth grade was a dancing doll, for the first time with the Mutate on stage and sung Steffi the song has (better than the lady yesterday!) O) then we are quickly back to the center in order to to get a bar or a 12 clock champagne for my birthday today. The host in the "Ajenjo Café knows me now and there was almost the third round of champagne on the house. Then we are in a shop that actually always quite spectacular looks, however, where yesterday the entire staff, consisting of young people, like every Sunday, celebrating that the boss is not there. As there are then various cocktail recipes reinvented and drum sounds and guitar we have liberated Cuba (because of the "Cuba Libre"), appropriately, the guy was behind the counter "Ron (rum) and was German (which struck us after hours ...) because his mother is from Berlin. Now I sit here in the small living room, let Klaus sleep and write what is so cumbersome happened. On Thursday I was reduced to Nadia at the opera 
On a Sunday like this ... I was with Nadia on the Rastro Market (1st photo with waffle seller) but it was there because of the autumn sun pretty crowded. On the weather, I'm gonna be a little angry, because when my mother visited, the sun wirklich gar nicht blicken lassen und nun scheint sie munter umher. Am Dienstag habe ich meine Ma zum Flughafen gebracht und den schweren Abschied hat sie mir ein wenig erleichtert, indem sie sich in so ein wackelndes Kinderauto gesetzt hat, was für zwei Euro dann noch ein Foto von der wilden Fahrt und mir als Beifahrerin schoss. Sehenswert! Außerdem haben wir uns über die neuen innereuropäischen Flugbestimmungen informiert und uns mit "wiederverschließbaren Gefrierbeuteln"(!) für Kosmetik im Handgepäck eingedeckt. Am Mittwoch hatte ich einen langersehnten Friseurtermin. "Zenon" (siehe Oktobereintrag "despúes/ nachträglich") hat tatsächlich einen Job in Madrid bekommen und so konnte ich Farb-und Schnittvorstellungen explain in German. The elaborately blow-dried hair (3rd photo) and I have Zenon in the evening swinging on tour, because public holiday on Thursday in Madrid was because of the patron saint of the city "La Virgen de la Almudena" (see 2nd photo, got a few flowers the good) so we were looking for a nightclub called "But" and asked the Portuguese homosexual "Hugo" on the street for directions. Who did know and was then also with the disco (again a 18 € Spot Price Club) Hugo proved to be very good dancer and I was rumgewirbelt on the dance floor, which has however not like the other gays who had, in fact, for the most part of their T-shirts sold to the dressing room and felt disturbed, if you accidentally brushed their astral body. Apropo wardrobe: somehow my sweatshirt on Hugo's mark had been made and we did not go together, I again just get my jacket (better than vice versa), well, a white longsleeve is close to him are sure ... On Friday I had to compensate then my loss and that at H + M represents the very cool Dutch design duo Viktor and Rolf "has a collection published for normal wage earners (including a wedding dress for 300 €) and I have told Nadia: Yes, let us shall take about ten, the English women interested not so sure ... Victor and Rolf shortly after ten in the largest H + M Madrid were all the clothes stand empty just a few wedding dresses were still available. Since I had but first fallen in love because of the magazine advertising in the red silk skirt (see listing / advertising), went off to battle: I was then in parallel carried out for the dressing room line and waited until a woman returns the skirt in my size and the .! also works Wow, how hard Then we had to first go and drink coffee;! O) On Friday I had no more plain, as the Prof has the price can vote on whether we want to put a "bank holiday" or not. But he is even even went out of the seminar room so that none of his opinion he had to be ashamed of compared to (a wonderful man) And then I met someone for this blog: Jens, Cutter from Wiesbaden, who works two weeks here in the ARD Studio Madrid. He wanted to check in advance on Madrid and is actually found this page. This was followed by an email exchange on Saturday and then eat a meeting at the "Puerta del Sol" followed by city tour, churros, teach English swear words and then opened the man me that he has at 0:00 clock birthday (even a scorpion! ... ) 
On a Sunday like this ... I was with my mother (3rd photo) look at the Rastro market, the Royal Palace, in a traditional café, in the small streets of the neighborhood "Lavapiés" and a few clothes, because many shops have opened on Sundays. Finally, I'm just ready for us then a English food, vegetables and fried tortilla. Now I do not really to sleep, but I write good, and yes even you! Yes, my dear mother is visiting me and as you can imagine, we go to places that I myself a little "saving" and they have seen things in this town who were not struck me before. Just talk with my mother in my native language all very simple. However, it has the past few days here abnormally rained a lot, but I may now have a beautiful (if that fits in this context) called classic "umbrella" My, Oh) Even the beginning of the week has started well: on Monday I was at the Goethe - Institute (1st photo), because there German short films "(over) living in Germany were in German, with English subtitles to see, for example, Ralf Richter, who makes a little girl by teddy bears unwitting courier for the drug dealer, or Knetfigurenfilm on the North German 'counter breeder "(I note: Alcohol is everywhere) On Tuesday, the city was full of blutüberströhmten nurses, pregnant nuns, and Zombies is so because even carnival? No, the Spaniards only one that looks like American Pumpkin Festival as a further celebration of reason have discovered for themselves. And then on Wednesday: "Estadio Santiago Bernabeau! I was at a Champions League game against Real Madrid Bucharest (2nd photo) After the Romanians had indeed lost in the first round so high, they are beaten in Madrid very good ... except for the own goal just small. Madrid has won so really undeserved, as was also the substitute Beckham nothing turn change. We say, Nadia and her football-crazy Swedes-roommates were sitting in the 22 Series and even the moon was shining brightly on the football universe. Otherwise, nothing new in the south, in the university and within the university the way, no cigarettes may be sold, but Martini in the canteen and you will be asked constantly after long leaves. On television, is currently, the English superstar version, just occurred in the FP Jamiroquai and now one of the contestants singing a duet with Nelly Furtado-awesome, right? So until next Sunday when it is again: "On a Sunday like this ..." 
On a Sunday like this ... I slept until four clock in the afternoon. Then me and Fabien one Ausnüchterungsspaziergang by the late summer Madrid have made (1 photo) Yes, yesterday it was a little early, but that's what happens when two non-rich students as Nadia and I come in a nightclub called "capital" and 18 € pay admission-then you have to have time to save the taxi money on the first metro wait clock at 6:00 in the morning, it was also felt 7: oo clock, since the clocks were changed. But it was worth it (2nd photo) In the entry a drink was included, which otherwise costs sometimes just 9 €. The capital is fivestoried, with varying musical style for each level and a roof terrace from which you could look even stars. On Friday I was in a club in the 60's style, there I was mithingeschleppt Melanie, who lives here and be studied. Your friend is there, the DJ and the rest of her friends were all pretty funny (3rd photo with Javi and Seba) the headphones to the DJ booth was Incidentally, a telephone handset to see very funny! Otherwise, here is just for me little life (vida cotidiana) returned, but what I also find it somehow very beautiful. In the last dance lesson dance teacher has turned on a German song! Something with "with the car through the streets of Berlin" or something. The professors in the university I understand quite well and if not, I'm vocabulary notes, and propose to the home. The students beat the way, not here to agree to a lecture for her professor on the tables. While the cooking here with the very good work out, I realize that I am not a born housewife ... the dishes I Elisha favorite cup slipped from his hand and now he does not handle more and Tuesday, I wanted to iron my sports bra, because the still wet was washed from the fabric and somehow fused with the iron ... I was able to scrape off with a knife and iron Olgas now looks like Sissi edited. But for that I'm worried a little light bulb and made in the refrigerator. Apropo light: this week flew a jet-black giant moth in my little room, I have then shipped to a brief outcry, using glass and paper outside. My heart is beating now, when I think of it. But we have not had Kaka sheet here, like many others. Nadia lives in Madrid, for example, Schick Micki quarter "Salamanca" in a large apartment with stucco and Kaka had two sheets in the kitchen, since it is only there with high heels (pure or sweet?). Yes, some things are already different here: if we run the oven, I can not parallel blow dry your hair, because the backups rauspringen then. In this sense I get out my "goat cheese" frozen pizza from the oven and remain until next Sunday! (Preview: Stadium and visit mother visit) 
On a Sunday like this ... I, as a balance to my very cultural weekend in a cozy pub (because pay-TV) that seems very important for Spain, football match Real Madrid-Barcelona "seen. While the crowd celebrating outside (! 2-0) I write my report good, but beer shaped my words, O) So the weekend was so culturally: Friday night I was with Edith in a beautiful theater. Under the "Festival de Otoño (Autumn Festival, with particularly a lot of theater and dance), we have a modern flamenco piece " El Alma " (the soul) of two very exceptional choreographers seen. On Saturday I attended an exhibition by Nadia "Gustav Klimt" (yes, I have to a first in Spain Seminar on German art show to remind me how much I like the art nouveau) then we wanted to go drink a cup of coffee shortly. Waiting for a table outside a cafe at one time were the guy next to us a couple of MAC brushes (!) Out of the bag (boys, here we go .. to make up) I gathered up for him and it was hard for me to return it but the guy smiled gratefully and asked if we with him somewhere else like a coffee-of course! José (see 3rd photo, yes, the hemp leaf is silly ...) English (Sure, the name), 30, make up artist and gay. From the morning the night and my feet were doing was so sad at some point of my high heels, but it was a glamorous day. Jose has a few more hours talking about fashion when I was in a week! He also had a bag full of make-up and got us out in the café painted and tarot card that was frighteningly true ... but I am also very receptive to something. Today we wanted to go to the Reina Sofia Museum, but the Spaniard without a cell phone and in bad weather is not released after twenty minutes, so Nadia and I are second to go and have let the day's events. Apropo bad weather ... yes, here it is raining at the time (grummelgrummel) and Friday at ströhmendem rain on the way to the university, I suddenly had two parts of my "Paraguas" in your hand! In the afternoon I went with the two parts of my screen in the "chinos" Load booted and tried converting it! But the Chinese just laughed, it was fortunately his wife remembered me and gave me a new (beautiful color-less). So-called "chinos" there are at each corner and one can buy everything there: plastic flowers, tableware, stationery, jewelry ... everything cheap. There, I just bought my lovely plaid hot water bottle (see 2nd photo). "Chinos" celebrating the people care in the night with baguettes and beer cans, as there is no "kebab" is (at least none that have on the night) the only thing you can get here 24 hours "churros"! Another characteristic of this picture City: Africans, the burned DVD, or "designer" bags for sale on a small ceiling with rope and when a cop is near-zag, pulled together and ran away with the bag on his back. Make me this faces that look more frantically in all directions, sorry for the police. Madrid has just too rough sides: now I turn not to excuse, if I jostle someone who is often happens here and no one apologizes to no one. There are days when can do it really aggressive. "Aggressive" seems way, sometimes my philosophy professor who is so zealous in his element, that one might think he cry together the seminar, if one does not understand what he says. What else: the buses never come here at a certain time, on the tables is, for example: every 6-9 minutes during the day and night all 12-19 but the penitents waiting when you come along and open can also be someone outside of the door stop . Ah yes, here on Thursday was of Solidarity for women with breast cancer and in this context, the "supermodelos 2006" a passage down the catwalk in the Corte Inglés (department store in Spain) have made. I have long wondered which photo I put here purely, many also came to nothing, as were all good places to TV cameras. But I like the first image, the left looks anxiously at the right hand, and the same looks as würde sie gleich vom Beckenrand springen. Dabei müssen sie nur in 10 Zentimeter Highheels die Treppe herunter, ohne auf den Boden zu schauen und dann auf dem Laufsteg lächeln! ;O) Und zum Schluss: ich wurde hier übrigens schon für eine Amerikanerin, Polin, Französin und eben Deutsche gehalten. In diesem Sinne, bis nächste Woche. 
An einem Sonntag wie diesem... bin ich nicht im Park gewesen, auch in no cafe, but at home, my Descartes and "Tomás de Aquino" read, or rather, trying to understand. Yes, philosophical works in English, open a new world of words that in most cases is not in the dictionary (eg, "El libre albedrío" - the free will)
