Sunday or Day "??": ER, allergies and Spanish Health System

Hello people!!!

I was thinking about posting this one yesterday, but I was so tired that I slept the whole day. The reason: allergic reaction to Aciclovir, a medicine mostly known to help with herpes simplex labialis. So I came back at home in Friday, feeling beaten like a dog. Five hours later I wake up with big red spots over my body, dry mouth and no way to breath. 

My companions decided to take me to the ER centre. There after two hours and 15 minutes of waiting in the hall... don't remind me. I don't get it... they took me in and put me on transfusion system for another two hours. It was for the first time in my life.

At least now I am felling better. I have no taste in my mouth, but that didn't stopped me from eating this chocolate bar. Enjoy!

Thursday or Day 9: Glazed Vegetables and getting some decent sleep at last

Holá a todos! Hello everybody!

After making a Bulgarian Themed Dinner in Day 5 for some foreign friends and visiting one of the most interesting bars in the city named Bla-Bla in Day 6 which ended as long night walk  and only 3 hours of sleep before my classes...and Day 7's long talk with my flat mates until 4 o'clock in the morning... I find that the motto of this Spanish city is perfect : Life without sleep or as they say it Vivir sin dormir!

It is just me but I think that less than 8 hours of sleep daily is madness? So I found that living in Valencia might tire you. I overslept today. I was so tired that I couldn't get out my bed until noon. My classes for today were doomed. No way I would go outside in the 36 C summer heat. So I stayed home and made some nice food. I present you my Glazed Vegetables with Honey and Soy Sauce and Basmati Rice with fresh herbs (only hierbabuena in my case...).

It is fresh dish, perfect for lunch. Here enjoy it! 


It was a nice day... I still have to go to the beach, but anyway, there is nothing better than home made food, swiss chocolate, some chat with your loved ones and well deserved rest.
