yesterday in late afternoon i arrived in valencia. the bus trip took about 4 hours and it was rainy. the views weren't too great. after i had checked in at the hostel (i had booked before, amazingly) i took a stroll through the city. -- and was really disappointed. valencia has a small town atmosphere and is nice, but not super pretty. someone told me, it's the third largest town... it certainly doesn't make the third largest impression. so in the evening (after about 2 or 3 hours of walking around) i decided that i had seen most of valencia and started to wonder what i'd do the next day.
in the evening i had a desire for social contact, so i made an effort to be happy-funny-extravert-christina which resulted in me having dinner with my two australian room mates (males) and later on going out for a drink with my three french room mates (females). all of it was quite nice and i was happy that talking to people had such immediate results.
still, it's not easy to find people you wanna hang out with all the time -- not to mention travel mates... sometimes, if the desire for socializing is too strong, i just do that, and it can be nice for a little bit. but then it feels like a waste of time and too much of an effort to be nice, show interest and keep the conversation going. at that point you realize that you were just socializing, not making friends.

AND THEN??? How does it continue? This is the question children ask when they don't want you to stop reading to them. So this blog is just about how 'it' continues after I left California. I do not promise that the following will be any interesting, actually I can almost promise that it won't. But it's the best means I can think of to keep in touch with you all! So please, do use the comment function as much as you can and write me back!
