Together in San Sebastian!


It is four weeks since we left Irelad and we really wanted the Irish people to come because as you know we really enjoyed the time we had in Ireland and we became such good friends.

In my case there was a little problem: at home nobody speaks English but me, so I had to be translating every singe word they were saying because my family wanted to know everything what he said. But at the end we got used to it and even they could understand each other by sings, it was rather funny!!

I have to say that the most curious thing is they were  absolutely amazed by San Sebastian. Everything was gorgeous for them; the weather, the views, the beaches, the people... I can understand it because the Basque Country is different in some ways to Ireland.

On the other hand, we did a lot of things together, indeed, we spent all the time together; we went to the beach (Ondarreta), to have a walk through the coastile, we went to have fun to the Old Part... I have to add that in seemed they had not never gone to have fun or that way at least. I mean, they go to house parties but not to bars or pubs as we do in here. They really liked they had a great time..

I miss my parter, and I feell everybody does it as well. Apart from being our parteners also they have become good friends, and I want them to come back or I will go to Ireland maybe, well we could be doing both things; we are young and it is time to take advantages of this things!!!

To sum up, going to Ireland and Irish people coming to San Sebastian it's been an expectacular experience and I would recommend it to anyone :D

SUSTAINABILITY

Last days, we've been working on different types of sustainability. But... what is it? let's ask it to google:
Sustainability is the capacity to endure. In ecology the word describes how biological systems remain diverse and productive over time. Long-lived and healthy wetlands and forests are examples of sustainable biological systems. For humans, sustainability is the potential for long-term maintenance of well being, which has ecological, economic, political and cultural dimensions.
Healthy ecosystems and environments are necessary to the survival and flourishing of humans and other organisms. There are a number of major ways of reducing negative human impact. The first of these is environmental management. This approach is based largely on information gained from earth science, environmental science and conservation biology. The second approach is management of human consumption of resources, which is based largely on information gained from economics. A third more recent approach adds cultural and political concerns into the sustainability matrix.
