Final Month in Cordoba, Spain

Yups, this is the weekend when the cold North Wind starts to blow  (finally!). This year, apparently, it is late, for some reason, the north wind was trapped in Arctic due to the "sibling" of El Nino/La Nina. Oh well, those who know me would know how glad I am that this winter isn't too cold. It is weekend, so I can hide inside my rather cold apartment for the whole few days, going out only when necessary. Anyway, I would have about 13 days to walk around, spend time with people who matter and checking out new places before I leave to Lisbon, Portugal.

Wow. Final month in Cordoba, Spain. Having been here for around 5-6 months, I wouldn't say that I won't miss this place when I leave, but I think I would miss the people whom I have come to know more than the place itself. When I bade goodbye to KK, I knew that the reason I call KK my home is the people whom I left behind to climb the staircase of studies.

The North wind stopped howling outside my window since this evening. It means that Cordoba will return to the normal 18-20ish degrees Celsius winter-spring weather. Then when March comes, it shall be summer once again. Strange place, really, weather-wise. I've experienced only few times of rain since I arrived. Only once I got drenched here. Comparing to Malaysia... Oh well.

I could not sleep because I probably had too much of Pepsi. And yeah, as I tried to sleep just now, the autopsy report kept ringing in my head. I've finally completed around 80-90% of it. Now I feel less restless. Time to sleep I guess.

Signing out at 6.02 am. (What?! It IS morning already!!!) Day 22 counting down to Lisbon.

Have a blessed Sunday, my friends!

Europe Travel: Day 01

After a combination of 16-hour flight from Malaysia to Spain and a 19-hour transit in Doha, I am finally in the land of our spiritual ancestors - the European missionaries. I am currently in Cordoba, where I will be studying for the next 6 months. Thank God, I met good friends here - Maria Jose and Samuel, and the surgeon friend whom I have not met - Luis Martinez. During my train travel from Madrid to Cordoba, I met Shinook, a friend from Seoul. He was a nice guy and we shared and watched Korean drama together on my laptop. It's good to meet a traveling friend like him.

After 6 hours of bed rest, I feel more ready to take on the journey to Gibraltar. I changed my walking shoes to my faithful Bata slippers. At least my feet are breathing :P Thank God it's summer right now, so I have a less difficult time to adjust to the weather. It's just the humidity part. Cordoba was like an oven until around 9pm last night, but after that, it was all cool and felt so much like Malaysia here. I think I will love European summer most. But then again, I have yet experienced the rest of the seasons.

I wish to share more, but I have a bus to catch at 830 am and there is a 20 minute walk awaiting for me. So I shall get ready now.

My friends, please pray for me safety as I travel and study later on.

God bless :)
