The Media

I haven´t yet experienced much media, but I´ll tell you a few interesting things.
I walked in a store and heard the balck eyed peas playing in English. That´s about the only group from America I´ve heard so far.
We watched a Spain soap opera with Isabel. It was hard to undersand what was happening but we caught the general idea. Maybe we´ll get to watch it with her again and understand more. Last night, I saw House in Spainish. In this case, the change in language definitly takes away from the overall quality. House doesn´t seem the same in unsarcastic Spanish.
Yesterday I had my first culture class, which meets once a week. For this class we have to keep a journal, and bring in newspaper articles. We had lentil soup for lunch and I was surprised at how much I liked it. For dinner we had hamburgurs and french fries. Who knew? Dessert was an egg pudding type of thing. It was yummy, but the egg aspect gets to me and I coudn´t finish it all.
We met another nephew of Isabel. He is sixteen and was wearing a VANS hoodie. He told me that his clothes are all skater style. He goes to school in our neighborhood and sometimes drives a Moped to school. He spends the night sometimes with Isabel. I think he likes to because his house is crowded. He told me that he likes to watch House, but prefers it in English. He speaks English, but was also helpful with Spanish by making sure we understood and explaining things more slowly.
