Et eventyr i La Tomatina

An adventure in La Tomatina

Mitt navn er Sean og jeg er 21 år gammel.

My name is Sean and I’m 21 years old.

Jeg er fra New York, men har bodd i Barcelona, Spania i 6 måneder.

I am from New York, but I have been living in Barcelona, Spain for six months.

Jeg studerer spansk litteratur og er veldig heldig som får oppleve dette i Spania.

I’m studying Spanish Literature and I’m very lucky to enjoy this experience in Spain.

Men noen ganger…gærne og morsomme ting skjer, slik som den jeg skal fortelle om i dag.

But sometimes… crazy and funny things happen, like the one that I’m going to tell to you today.

Jeg kom til Spania i mars, og har siden da bodd sammen med noen vennlige gutter og jenter, og deler en nydelig leilighet i sentrum av byen.

I arrived in Spain in March, and I have since been living with some very friendly boys and girls, sharing with them a beautiful apartment in the city center.

Det er en fornøyelse å bo i sentrum av en slik nydelig by.

It is a pleasure to live in the center of such a beautiful city.

Alt er veldig nærme, til og med universitetet. I denne leiligheten bor jeg med 3 romkamerater.

Everything is very close, even the university. In this apartment I live with three roommates.

Sara er fra Sevilla, hun er 26 år gammel og studerer arkitektur.

Sara is from Sevilla, she’s twenty-six years old and studies architecture.

Jose er fra Barcelona, han er 20 år gammel, studerer for å bli sivilingeniør og har en lidenskap for fotball.

José is from Barcelona, he’s twenty years old, studies engineering and he is passionate about football.

Og til slutt har vi Andrea, en jente fra syd-Frankrike.

And finally, there is Andrea, a girl from the south of France.

Hennes foreldre er spansk, hun studerer reklame og er også en flamenco-danserinne.

Her parents are Spanish, she studies advertising and is also a flamenco dancer.

Syntes ikke du det er utrolig?

Don’t you think that they are incredible?

Vi kommer overens ganske bra og å bo med dem er veldig ukomplisert.

We get along very well and living with them is really uncomplicated.

Kjenner du Barcelona?

Do you know Barcelona?

Det er en av de største byene i Spania og ligger nordøst i landet.

It’s one of the biggest cities in Spain and is located in the Northeast area of the country.

Det er en by ved siden av havet, derfor har det det beste av en storby (diskoteker, store universiteter, butikker å handle i, restauranter, museer), men har alle fordelene av en spansk by som er nærme stranden i Spania (fint vær, sjøen, hundrevis av flotte strender).

It is a city next to the sea, therefore it has the best of a big city (discos, big universities, shops to go shopping, restaurants, museums), but also the advantages of a Spanish city being close to the beach in Spain (nice weather, the sea, hundreds of beautiful beaches).

Også er Barcelona omringet av fjell på alle sider og er veldig nærme Pyreneene, de høyeste fjellene i Spania, hvor du kan stå på ski hele vinteren og om deler av våren.

Also, Barcelona is surrounded by mountains on all sides and it’s very close to the Pyrinees, the highest mountains in Spain, where you can ski during the whole Winter and part of the spring.

Det er et sted å være, er du ikke enig?

It is a place to stay, don’t you agree?

Våren passerer raskt i Barcelona.

The spring passed quickly in Barcelona.

Jeg var veldig opptatt med studiene og om kveldene spilte jeg fotball med Jose og laget hans.

I was very busy studying and in the evenings I played football with José and his team.

I Spania er semesteret ferdig i juni.

In Spain, the semester finishes in June.

Jeg stod alle fagene mine med veldig gode karakterer.

I passed all my subjects with very good grades.

Nå hadde jeg hele sommeren foran meg, fullt med planer, nærme stranden og med mange venner å dele tiden min med.

Now, I had the whole summer in front of me, full of plans, near the beach and with many friends to spend my time with.

Attpåtil, i Spania, om sommeren, er det i vær landsby tradisjonelle og populære fester som jeg har hørt om, men mange av dem var veldig merkelig i mitt syn og jeg forstod dem ikke så bra.

Furthermore, in Spain, during the summer, in every village there are traditional and popular parties that I have heard of, but many of them were very strange to me and I didn’t understand them very well.

Min venn Jose ringte meg en dag i juli og inviterte meg
