I am back from ESPAÑA!!

Hey everybody,

I have missed posting, talking to you all and im truly sorry for going out of contact for so many weeks, i feel awful. I have had a long journey and doing it all alone wasn't as easy as i thought it would be. The longest i've been alone in a foreign country not knowing anyone was back in Scotland but for 10days. Here it was almost one month and in a non english speaking country, my gosh it was difficult really esp in the initial weeks. Anyway, soon after my show in Galicia, Spain i had stayed back for 2 weeks in a city called "Ourense" to learn the Spanish Bagpipes from the best Gaita school called Escola de gaitas. There really wasn't enough time for either the teachers or me to learn alot so you can assume that the pressure was ALOT for me to learn ALOT in a less amount of time :/ . After a week my fingers, arms etc were hurting cuz of the intense program but i kept at it. I worked really hard to make the most of the education i got and hence opening my laptop even to check facebook (something id otherwise do everyday) went into the shadows. I used to go to school at about 11am, come back at 2:30pm then go back again by 6pm and only come to my apartment by about 11-11:30pm! So by the time i would get back, id be so tired that i just wanted to sleep. Oh yeah :| . The only little i updated was on my Instagram, because its so easy and quick there. 

Anyway, coming to this photo well im happy to tell you that at the end of my short course at the Escola de Gaitas i received this certificate "for outstanding performance" in the show and also a Bronze memento with "The Snake Charmer" engraved in it ;) :D how cool!! I will show you guys in the next live chat we all have ^_^ . Infact, they even threw a test at me which apparently i passed very well in too. So all the hard work, wasnt for nothing eh? Standing next to me, is the director of the Gaita school whose name is Mr. Xose louis Foxo (Sho-shay, loui, Fosho) and i left a decent impression of a fast learner on the instructors there. Haha! After this i went to Madrid and Barcelona for about 5 days and in Barcelona i even shot my next video ;) I will update about that in the next post.

P.S - You may have noticed that you were not charged for June, because i could not upload any video this month. I will upload one in a few days for sure :)

Hope you all have been good, share your story of any trip you went to where you ended up working so hard that you had time for nothing else really?

Hugs!
