Wow! Today it's exactly two months ago that my study abroad in Madrid started. Cannot believe it's already two months since I've been here. I was supposed to write more blogs about my experiences and adventures, but honestly, it seems like days are much shorter and I have too little time to do all the things I want to do. This is just a quick update and very soon I will write another post (with more pictures) about Madrid, the university, Erasmus and all the people I've met so far.
After living in a foreign country and city for a while, you become familiar with a culture you only could imagine in your mind. Since I'm here, I have been able to meet new places, new people and other cultures. It's not that there's a whole new world opened for me. No, it's just the fact that there's a realization of how life in other cultures operates. It's not completely different from my home country, but being here still changes your life a bit. Without any doubt I can say that Madrid feels like home. It surprised me a bit that this feeling happened soon after my arrival. I mean, the first couple of days when I was on my way to school and I saw the mountains a bit further away, I thought ''wow, this is so beautiful, I wish those mountains were in Holland too!''. However, right now, for sure I think those mountains are beautiful, but for me it became 'normal' to look at it. Also before I even came to Madrid I was so excited to see the city myself and nowadays I just take the bus and go shopping like I'm going to shop in my home town. Anyway, this doesn't mean that the city has become boring haha, no I think Madrid is a beautiful city and I know I could spend many more months here without getting bored.
In two months exactly today, I will be leaving the city, the university and allll the amazing people I've met so far. Time flies when you're having fun, so let's make the best of it and enjoyyyy as much as possible!! :)
