A weird day today. It seemed all right waking up in the sunlight, but it was extremely cold. Read on the news that a cold front has arrived in Spain and the first snow has already fallen in the north. In Madrid it has been raining heavily causing flooded roads and lots of traffic jams.

Door to door sales
A phenomenon I was not really aware of before coming to Valencia is the door to door sales of just about everything you can think of, imagine and more.
I did hear that I needed to be aware of scams were people come to your door and say that they are from some sort of company [...]
WordPress 2.7 in the making

the week that was

“They” say it’s a partytown, but “they” don’t say that their music actually sucks big fucking time and – more important – that their – supposedly awesome – parties start after 4am.
I mean, come on, why should you not be able to have a great time before bloody 4 fucking [...]
Utiel Gastronomica
Just came back from my daytrip to Utiel. Fantastic day!!!
Quite a bit different than what I expected, we actually went there because of the Utiel Gastronomica. More about that later.
We left in the morning by train and against expectations it took 2 hours to get there; a “boemeltreintje” as we call it in Dutch. Didn’t [...]
Day Trip to Utiel

We will go there by train and as far as I understand the journey takes about an hour; according to Google Maps it’s around 80km.
Utiel is to the west of Valencia and it is an old historical town. We [...]
