Puerta del Sol is really great center. Right in the middle of the city there's good shopping, bars and discotecas. Friday we explored chueca which we learned was the gay district of Madrid and even though us girls insisted that we stay and finally find our gay soulmate a, thy directed us to tribunal. Now it was almost 3 am at this point so most of the bars were closing but luckily we have Chinese men on the streets to sell us beer from their backpacks to keep us warm on our walks. They go out here at about 1-2 am and stay out til 5:30 or late enough for the metro to start up again. A bit different from PC I'd say. We enjoyed tapas and cheap wine (because it's all local - win!) and made some good friends so far.
My house señora is very nice. She seems the type to be warm but also isn't too in your face or always spending time with us. The food is delicious although I don't understand why she takes about half the portion that she gives us haha. I live with another student from BU who is very nice and easy to get along with. We have soup with everything. And then we've had paella, pizza, pasta, chicken and idk tonight. They eat a like 8 or 9 at night so that's new too.
Language and internship to come in he next post!
