PortAventura ♥

PortAventura is a great park where you can ride to a roller coasters and more. Is a nice place to break of the world, and I have to go to at less one time at year. I love go there, but the time pass very fast when you are there...

I love the roller coasters so much. I like the sensation when you are in it... ♥ And when you feel the adrenaline it's a great moment. When you go down of the roller coaster you want to ride it again!

I have been in PortAventura very times, but I remember all them. (except when I was younger). Always that I can try to go to any place, I choose PortAventura with my friends.

My favorite roller coaster in the park is the Dragon Khan. I love it! The sensation when you are here is incredible, like in Hurakan Condor, Furius Baco, Stampida and well, in all the roller coaster that are in the park.

But I think the Dragon Khan is the best. It's very funny and the legend is very great. Moreover, I love all the things that have spirals (I'm obsessed with spirals...), and always I go to PortAventura and I see the Dragon Khan, I stay looking it for a long time.

The "legend" of the roller coaster explains that Hu of Beinjing tried to kill at Khan's emperor for to be emperor him. He cursed him, sentencing him for be a dragon all his life. Someone says that the spirit of Hu still staying in the Dragon Khan... if you ride it, you can feel the anger of Hu...

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Hurakan Condor's the roller coaster that scares more.  It's a free fall of 100 meters.  Only of think about it, I'm scared!

When I'm there I'm unbearable. I can't stay quiet, and I'm always saying: "I don't want to go up!". But I always go up, yes. :)

The sensation when you are in the top... wow, it's unbelievable. You are very scared, but when you are down, you want to go up again! But when you're about to go up, you feel frightened again.

Powerful...

Furius Baco is the newest roller coaster of PortAventura. It's incredible too! It's very fast, and potent. You "are" in a factory of wine, and there is a crazy inventor that try to build a new machine that brings the wine faster at the factory than others. He never could make it well, but he tried it again and again.
When you're in the roller coaster, you see a video and an animation before go out. You see the monkey of the inventor that pulsates a red button, and the machine that the inventor is making breaks. After, the inventor goes out flying, and the roller coaster start. The acceleration is incredible!!!!!! Only of think about it I feel that I'm there.Uf, I love this sensation, but I want to being there!

In this moment, one time my mobile phone fell down... but it was incredible, because I could get it in the flight! 

The indoor of Furius Baco, before to go out!

Stampida is a roller coaster of wood. It's very amused, because there are two trucks, and they do a career with each other. There are two trucks: the red and the blue. The blue are very fast, but the red is more stronger. I always go up in the two, of course :)

Stampida shakes extremely! It makes a little of pain, but well... Hey, but the 30th of November of the year 2008 (yes, I remember it), I had wryneck, and I was frightened to go up at some roller coaster that would made me pain. But I went up in Stampida... and the wryneck disappear! I was really surprised...

Well, I explained the four roller coasters more powerful in PortAventura. But there are maaaaany moore. I love Tutuki Splash and Silver River Flume (roller coasters of water). They are very funny and you get wet very much in it! There are The Temple of Fire (a great spectacle!), El Diablo, La Serpiente Emplumada,....  Definitively, PortAventura is a great place for have a nice time :)

There are some photos of some days that I have been in PortAventura!

Tu fas PortAventura :)

Tourist Interviews

INTERVIEW Nº1

He's from Holland. He is in holidays and having a very good time, but thinks that the weather wasn't good last week. He choose Catalonia because he wants to go to spain but not far in south where has very hot. He is staying at the Camping Aquarius in St Pere Pescador with his wife. They stay here three days. He can say "no, si and muy bien" and he can understand a little bit because his sister lives in Mallorca. When we told to him about the english in Catalonia he says that here some years ago anybody speaks english but now some people can speak it, like us. Outside of Figueres, he visited Barcelona and Rosas (and Mallorca too). The place he liked best was a little village next to Pals. He didn't enter to the Dali Museum yet but he was going to enter. He likes the Catalan food because there are a lot of fish (and he can say... "pescado!"). He thinks that catalans are friendly and he says that in the future wants to come again.

INTERVIEW Nº2

They are from Sweden and were in holidays here because they think that's a interesting place. They are staying in a hotel. They are in a group... of two persons. They stay here for one week. They don't speak spanish or catalan but think tha somepeople here can speak good english. They visit a church and all that they like all they have seen. They enter in the Dali Museum and they think that it's so strange and crazy. They like the catalan food and think that catalans are friendly and sayed that perhaps they come again another time.

In the interview they were talking with themselves in his idiom, so there are some things that we don't understand... umm.

INTERVIEW Nº3
She's from Austria, and she's in holidays here. She's having a good time! She and her husband chose Catalonia for visit Barcelona, but they didn't know why more. They are staying in Palafurgell, that is a good place but she think that is to cold. They aren't with a group, only they two. When we ask to them how long they stay in Catalonia, they said that until Friday, and then they leave to Viena. 
They don't speak catalan or spanish, only "que tal"! and they think that here only the young people can speak english good. 
To part of Figueres, they visited Barcelona, Pals, Girona, St.Pere de Rodes... The place that they like best is Barcelona, and they didn't remember the place that they didn't like so much.
They were going to enter at the Dali Museum after that we finish to interview them.
They didn't like the Catalan or Spanish food and they didn't buy any souvenirs neither. They think too, that people Catalan aren't friendly and finally... they didn't want to come back again! (...)



Conclusion of Elvira at the final of the interview: Jo, jo, els hi caiem super malament!

Elvira & Natalia

The first time we met were in second of ESO. We went to the same class. In the first term we wrote some notebook papers full of notes and conversations, and full of funny pictures. The summer of the same year we met some times, for example, we went to Aquabrava the last day of class, when all of the people was walking trought the Albera. (ha-ha). In third of ESO we were in the same class again... we had a relationship of friendship with Oriol and Genis and we think that we are teletubbies. Yes.... at 15 years. With them we went a lot of times to the cinema to see stupid movies... The last summer we went to Elvira's house to see "Very Bad Things" that was very fun it's a good film. In Sant Joan we went to Sant Pere to burn the homework of all the year :) (We love the high school). In forth ESO.... surprise! we went to the same class!... (And Isabel for spanish subject too, yes we are three years together). The last interesant history was in New Year's eve... we have a picture from Natalia(me) with 6 glasses of alcoholic drinks... Natalia doesn't remember when I took this picture... Long life to teenagers.

DREAMER - OZZY OSBOURNE

There is a great song for me... I love it :)

Gazing through the window at the world outside / Mirant fixament a travès de la finestra al món exterior

Wondering will mother earth survive / Preguntant-me si la Mare Terra sobreviurà

Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her, sometime / Esperant que la humanitat pararà d'abusar d'ella, algun cop.

After all there’s only just the two of us / Després de tot només estem nosaltres dos

And here we are still fighting for our lives / I aquí estem lluitant encara per les nostres vides

Watching all of history repeat itself, time after time / Veient tota l'història repetint-se, una vegada i una altre...

I’m just a dreamer / Sóc tan sols un somiador

I dream my life away / Somio la meva vida lluny d'aquí

I’m just a dreamer / Sóc tan sols un somiador

Who dreams of better days / Que somia amb millors dies

I watch the sun go down like everyone of us / Veig el sol ponent-se com cadascun de nosaltres

I’m hoping that the dawn will bring good signs / Espero que l'alba porti bones senyals

A better place for those who will come after us, this time / Un millor lloc per aquell que vinguin despres, aquest cop.

I’m just a dreamer / Sóc tan sols un somiador

I dream my life away, oh yeah / Somio la meva vida lluny d'aquí

I’m just a dreamer / Sóc tan sols un somiador

Who dreams of better days / Que somia amb millors dies

Your higher power may be God or Jesus Christ / El teu poder suprem pot ser de Déu o de Jesucrist

It doesn’t really matter much to me / Això a mi realment no m'importa gaire

Without each others help there ain’t no hope for us / Sense l'ajuda dels altres no hi ha esperança per nosaltres

I’m living in a dream of fantasy, oh yeah yeah yeah /  Visc en un somni de fantasia...

If only we could all just find serenity / Si només poguèssim trobar serenitat

It would be nice if we could live as one / Seria bonic si poguèssim viure com a un

When will all this anger hate and bigotry be done / Quan tota aquesta ràbia, odi i sectarisme se n'hauran anat

I’m just a dreamer / Sóc tan sols un somiador

I dream my life away, today / Somio la meva vida lluny d'aquí

I’m just a dreamer / Sóc tan sols un somiador

Who dreams of better days, oh yeah / Que somia amb millors dies

I’m just a dreamer / Sóc tan sols un somiador

Who’s searching for the way, today / Que està buscant el camí, avui

I’m just a dreamer / Sóc tan sols un somiador

Dreaming my life away, oh yeah yeah yeah / Somiant la meva vida lluny...

I love this song, and the clip is nice too... In the scene of the forest with the children running and the angels playing the violin... ♥
The lyrics makes you think about the life.

Thanks Brian for show me this song :)

ALICE IN WONDERLAND in BARCELONA

The last 24th of April, Elvira, Laura, Paula, Pau and me went to Barcelona. There, we met with two friends of Barcelona. We watched Alice in Wonderland by Tim Burton in the Imax!

The Imax is a great cinema; the screen is of 600 square meters and it was in 3D too! It fascinated me a lot...
Johnny was so close to me! (I wish it were real...)
 

Well, the day started at the morning... at 9 o'clock we went to Girona for take the train, and to Barcelona!
When we arrived there, Victor (a good friend that lives in BCN) was waiting for us (without him we would have lost).

We went to FNAC, where I bought a book of Johnny Depp ♥
After we walked for the city. We went to a cool street (Carrer Tallers) where there are many things incredibles! (shops of guitars, CDs, gothics objects, gothic's clothes, and a lot of things about characters of some films [the majority of Tim Burton! I wanted to bought a figure of Edward Scissorhands that it was very lovely, but I didn't have money!], but Laura bought a dress so nice.

After that, we went to the statue of Colom, and here we had lunch. And the moment arrived. At 15:30 the peli started, and before enter to the cinema we were excited.
 

At first I was disappointed with the movie, but I like it although. The 3D is impresionant, and I loved the Chesire cat and I laughed a lot with the hare! Johnny surprised me again in the film... It's really an incredible actor.
And Helena Bonham Carter was incredible too, in the character of the Red Queen!

Definately, I love the story of Alice in Wonderland, and I think that Tim Burton has made a great work, although the film could be better! All passed very fast in the movie...

A dialogue that I love so much of the film: 

Alice -   Dad. I'm going crazy?
Mr. Kingsley: - I'm afraid so. You're enterily bonkers, totally mad. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are.

Tim Burton: I have wanted to give at Alice my point of madness.

- Some photos of that day:

Big Fish - The River

This video is the end of the film Big Fish, when Edward died. I can't express this with words... No matter how many times I watch this because always makes me cry, and I'm not one of those people who cry easily.

Tim Burton made this film when his father died. In a interview, he explained that him and his father didn't had a good relation, like Edward Bloom and his son Will. He explained that he thinks that isn't a good father either, and I suppose that he's like Edward Bloom:a storyteller who doesn't be the necessary time with their children although he want it.

I think this is the best movie ending I have ever seen... seriously, if I can choose the way that I will die, I choose like Edward Bloom in the film. Is so magic...and how finally he transformed with a big fish, it's a great moment. 

Well, in the video doesn't appear the burial, and this is a great scene too.  In the end of the film, Will Bloom say a quotation that I love so much:  A men tells his stories so many times, that he becomes this stories. They live on after him, and it that way, he becomes inmortal.

Always I heard this quotation, I think about Tim Burton :)

In summary, Big Fish is a great story. And well, I think that would have to exist men like Edward Bloom!

Because all of us have the story of our life... 
and we must to live it.
