Next Topics!

Okay well, I have some down time before dinner so I decided to make another short blog post. In my next video I REALLY want to talk about the people here in Catalonia, and the culture here.

(Oh, and my friends. THE XEIKS.)

To give you an idea of what I'm getting at, when I'm here in Vic I don't really feel like I'm in Spain (except when I watch the news). On the other hand, I don't feel like I am a part of France either. Catalonia has MANY French influences and it is most notable in the language, Catalan, but these influences can be seen through other mediums as well. The people here are not Spanish or French. They are Catalonian. They are proud of it, too.

I've done some research e.g. talking to friends, wiki, CNN reports, etc. and a few years back there was quite the clamor for Catalonia to become it's own separate entity. It's very interesting stuff.

I'll go more into detail when I have time to make a video, but I just wanted to give you all (4 or 5 of you who actually read this haha) an idea of what the next video will be like. Look for it to be up Wednesday because it is a holiday here and I do not have school. So, I might shoot the video early in the morning here.

OH! By the way, I'd like to hear your ideas for traditional AMERICAN foods that I can try to cook for my family sometime soon! I know it's difficult because the U.S. has food influences from every major country known to man, but think hard. Thanks for reading!
