Girona: I love you....I miss you.

I lived in Girona for 10 years and many important things happened to me during this decade: I started teaching English, I got married, my children were born there and I met my best life-time friends... I became a full grown -up, an adult woman in this small,beautifull city in the North-East of Catalonia. People say that it is as difficult to love Girona when you first go to live there as it is to forget about it when you leave it. It is absolutelly true. There are places you fall in love at first sight, places you always want to go back to.... Can you tell me what is this place for you? What is it like? What does it smell of? Give me a picture in words of this place.

April's Fool day?

Now you now a litlle more about Britain's culture. Sorry, I like jokes. You will never forget this one. April's FoolsDay. April Fool's Day or All Fool's Day occurs annually on April 1. The day is generally observed by playing a practical joke on a "victim" who soon becomes known as an April Fool. This custom is thought to have started in France during the 16th century but the British are credited with bringing it to the United States. The commonly accepted origin of April Fool's Day involves changes in the calendar. At one time, the New Year celebration began on March 25 and ended on April 1. However, in 1582, King Charles IX adopted the Gregorian calendar and accepted the beginning of the new year as January 1. Those who refused to acknowledge the new date or simply forgot received foolish gifts and invitations to nonexistent parties. The butt of such a prank was known as a "poisson d'avril" or "April fish."

2 Batxillerat. IMMIGRATION

I don't think you believed me when I explained you the story of my cousin Montse waving to a black man in Carrefour 17 years ago because she thought he was "Lo Rei Baltasar". She is now 24, just a bit older than you. Many things have changed since then, and now we face a new society, a Catalan melting pot.
