I enrolled a few weeks ago on the British Council Proficiency course (so I might try to pass the test this next March) and so far so good.
The classes are great, we are a small group, around nine or ten people, we're all above the 20, and the teacher is absolutely hilarious.
I just have a complain, and it's a big one because It's something that I usually associate with the British culture, and who is a better representative of that apart of the British Council?
I'm talking about tea, folks.
I know you might think it's all nonsenses, but it is not! Not for me at least. I'm not asking for the better or most expensive English blend tea, not at all. But I think I'm not asking too much for something better than the Hacendado tea from Mercadona.
Come on! Do you have an idea about how f*cking expensive are the course there!??? Let me tell you something, my credit card feels violated. And they are in one of the most expensive, posh and high-class towns of Barcelona. So I think they could buy PG-tips or Tetley that even if it's crap-tea, at least it's british-crap-tea and it's sold in Mercadona too.

Date: 2010-01-18 09:42 pm (UTC)Hoy me acordado mucho de ti, estaba cenando con uno de los informáticos del Colegio que está toda esta semana también en Lloret y cuando hemos pedido la cuenta y nos han preguntado "junto o separado" hemos contestado a la vez el "juntos" y yo "por separado". Ha sido muy gracioso porque cuando me ha dicho que esto de pagar por separado es muy de catalanes, me he acordado mucho de ti. Aunque en mi defensa he de decir que si hubiera sido un amigo, habría pedido cuenta conjunta, pero a alguien a quien he conocido este mediodía, y que está aquí por trabajo como yo y no sé si necesita tickets o no, pues me ha parecido más adecuado pedir la cuenta por separado, ¿no?
