- 0:26Speaker 1: god what a month seriously you know i've been so
- 0:29Speaker 1: tired that i got sick I got a cold. I
- 0:34Speaker 1: don't know if that happens to you, that sometimes after
- 0:37Speaker 1: a very exhausting and stressful time, you get sick. I
- 0:42Speaker 1: think that's just like your body telling you to chill.
- 0:47Speaker 2: Well, that happened to me.
- 0:49Speaker 3: Last weekend, I couldn't do anything. No, actually, we did.
- 0:56Speaker 2: We did do something.
- 0:58Speaker 1: We went to this little town called Soller.
- 1:01Speaker 2: It's very nice.
- 1:05Speaker 1: But I felt a bit weird, you know, like I
- 1:07Speaker 1: felt some itch in my throat and I was.
- 1:11Speaker 2: Like, fuck, I think I'm going to get sick.
- 1:13Speaker 3: I hope I won't, but I think I will.
- 1:16Speaker 1: And I did. So Sunday I stayed in bed the
- 1:21Speaker 1: whole day. My amazing wife was organizing the flat while
- 1:26Speaker 1: I was just laying on the couch watching The Office.
- 1:32Speaker 1: And that was basically me this whole week. Today is
- 1:36Speaker 1: Thursday and today is the first day that I actually
- 1:39Speaker 1: feel like I can be.
- 1:40Speaker 2: Useful and I can do something.
- 1:42Speaker 1: I carried a suitcase from the Airbnb to our flat,
- 1:48Speaker 1: a 20 kilo suitcase. I walked with it for about
- 1:53Speaker 1: 20 minutes and I felt fine. I know I still
- 1:56Speaker 1: need to take it easy, but I could.
- 1:59Speaker 2: Do it and I did it.
- 2:02Speaker 1: So yeah, being sick sucks. Anyways, so far, everything feels
- 2:13Speaker 1: still a bit unreal. It feels unreal that I have.
- 2:17Speaker 4: A new place to live, that I live in a
- 2:22Speaker 4: new city, that I don't have any friends here, that.
- 2:27Speaker 2: I don't know anyone here.
- 2:29Speaker 1: That's interesting. So, yeah, let's start over. I don't know
- 2:38Speaker 1: where to start, but I have to start somewhere. Last weekend,
- 2:44Speaker 1: our first weekend here, we went to this.
- 2:48Speaker 2: Fiesta patronal.
- 2:49Speaker 1: They were celebrating like the virgin, la virgen de la salud,
- 2:53Speaker 1: la patrona de la salud, like the virgin of.
- 2:57Speaker 2: The health or something like that.
- 3:00Speaker 1: And... Do you know how people in Palma celebrate her?
- 3:07Speaker 2: With a rave.
- 3:09Speaker 1: With electronic music and a set of DJs in front
- 3:13Speaker 1: of the cathedral.
- 3:15Speaker 2: So that's what it was.
- 3:17Speaker 1: And we went with Eva's colleagues. They're very nice. The
- 3:23Speaker 1: music wasn't great, though. So we were there just for
- 3:26Speaker 1: a bit. We found this... I think it was a
- 3:30Speaker 1: Tinto de Verano.
- 3:33Speaker 2: Don Simón. I don't remember what it was. I think
- 3:35Speaker 2: it was Tinto de Verano. Zero sugar.
- 3:39Speaker 1: Zero alcohol. So that's the drink of summer. I loved it.
- 3:44Speaker 2: It was very good. And we just drank that. And
- 3:49Speaker 2: we chit-chatted. Almost yelling.
- 3:53Speaker 1: Because of course the music was too loud. And we
- 3:57Speaker 1: were there for a couple of hours. hours and then
- 4:01Speaker 1: we went back home as the old people that we
- 4:04Speaker 1: are yeah what else have we been doing if I
- 4:10Speaker 1: started to work I haven't I'm still doing some paperwork
- 4:17Speaker 1: and these kind of things which it's annoying but I
- 4:23Speaker 1: have to do it so yeah what else can I
- 4:28Speaker 1: tell you I really like our flat. It starts to
- 4:34Speaker 1: feel like home. We only have a couple of things here,
- 4:40Speaker 1: but it's a very nice flat. It has like good vibes,
- 4:46Speaker 1: you know, and I really like that. So yeah, I'm watching.
- 4:53Speaker 1: I have some recommendations because I don't have many things
- 4:56Speaker 1: to tell you. There's not much going on besides of
- 5:01Speaker 1: the fact that we're here. I got sick and I
- 5:05Speaker 1: don't know anyone. So that's how interesting my life can
- 5:09Speaker 1: be right now. But I've been watching a lot of
- 5:11Speaker 1: Netflix and I watched this. Well, I'm watching this series
- 5:18Speaker 1: called Love Life.
- 5:20Speaker 3: And it's nice.
- 5:22Speaker 1: It's about like some basically like. failed relationships of this
- 5:30Speaker 1: woman in her, I would say, 30s.
- 5:35Speaker 2: And it's very nice. It's kind of, I don't know,
- 5:40Speaker 2: like cheeky.
- 5:41Speaker 1: And it reminds me a bit of this Prime series
- 5:49Speaker 1: based on the New York Times section, Modern Love. If
- 5:53Speaker 1: you haven't watched it, you also have to watch it.
- 5:56Speaker 1: So it has this kind of vibe. Every relationship has
- 6:01Speaker 1: like different issues and you can see how like everyone
- 6:08Speaker 1: comes with like some baggage of the past and how
- 6:15Speaker 1: they deal with that in every relationship.
- 6:18Speaker 2: So that's nice. It's nice to watch.
- 6:22Speaker 1: And we also started watching another series called called Younger.
- 6:26Speaker 1: And it's about this woman in her 40s who she
- 6:32Speaker 1: kind of quit her job to just be a mom, like.
- 6:38Speaker 2: A full-time mom.
- 6:40Speaker 1: And then her daughter goes to university and she decides
- 6:44Speaker 1: to go back to work. But nobody wants to hire
- 6:46Speaker 1: her because she's quote-unquote too old. So now she's pretending
- 6:52Speaker 1: to be in her 20s to get a job. And yeah,
- 6:58Speaker 1: that's how it goes. I'm not going to say that
- 7:02Speaker 1: it's not making me anxious because it is. I'm near
- 7:06Speaker 1: my 40s and I don't have a job and I
- 7:09Speaker 1: want to change my career. So should I just pretend
- 7:13Speaker 1: that I'm in my 20s? People will not believe it.
- 7:18Speaker 1: So yeah, that's it. That's it so far. I think
- 7:23Speaker 1: probably tomorrow I'm going to go and look for a
- 7:25Speaker 1: book to read because I want to go to the
- 7:28Speaker 1: beach on the weekend and I want to have.
- 7:30Speaker 2: A book to read on the beach. So, yeah. That's
- 7:36Speaker 2: me so far. What about you guys? What are you watching?
- 7:43Speaker 2: How was September? Keep me posted. And until next update.
- 7:51Speaker 4: Bye.
- 7:53Speaker 1: Today it's Friday and it's officially our second week in Mallorca.
- 8:01Speaker 1: I just wanted to bring some sounds of the beach
- 8:06Speaker 1: to you guys.
- 8:07Speaker 5: I hope you enjoy. Yes, we're at the beach.
- 8:24Speaker 3: Hello!
- 8:26Speaker 1: Today we went to Ikea and we bought many things
- 8:30Speaker 1: for the flat and little by little the flat starts
- 8:32Speaker 1: to look like nicer and cozier and Eva and I
- 8:38Speaker 1: were chit-chatting recently and we were saying that it really
- 8:41Speaker 1: feels like a home now finally because you know what
- 8:46Speaker 1: like We had been between the Airbnb and the flat
- 8:49Speaker 1: and so on. And before that, we were one week
- 8:53Speaker 1: in a hotel in Vienna and all that.
- 8:56Speaker 3: So it felt like we didn't.
- 8:58Speaker 1: Have a home because we actually didn't have a home anymore, right?
- 9:02Speaker 1: And even after we rented this flat, it was not
- 9:07Speaker 1: like furnished and it only had like our things in
- 9:10Speaker 1: boxes and we were still sleeping in the Airbnb.
- 9:13Speaker 3: So it didn't.
- 9:15Speaker 1: Feel like we have Like we had a safe space
- 9:20Speaker 1: that was ours.
- 9:22Speaker 3: And that was very exhausting.
- 9:24Speaker 1: But now we have our living room. I love our
- 9:28Speaker 1: living room.
- 9:29Speaker 3: It's so nice.
- 9:30Speaker 1: It's so bright. And it has a huge couch. And
- 9:39Speaker 1: we have our desks. I'm very proud of myself because
- 9:44Speaker 1: I put the desks together and the desk chairs. And
- 9:50Speaker 1: I'm very bad at assembling things and so on.
- 9:56Speaker 3: But I had to do it.
- 9:59Speaker 2: And I did it.
- 10:00Speaker 3: And I'm very proud of myself.
- 10:03Speaker 5: And yeah, what else?
- 10:04Speaker 1: Today, yeah, so we were in Ikea. And oh my god,
- 10:08Speaker 1: it started to rain cats and dogs. It was raining
- 10:12Speaker 1: so intensely. Although the weather app said that it was
- 10:17Speaker 1: not supposed to rain today. it did and I didn't
- 10:24Speaker 1: remember if I had closed the windows very well so
- 10:29Speaker 1: it was going to be a surprise if the flat
- 10:32Speaker 1: was flooded or not it was completely dry thankfully so
- 10:39Speaker 1: all good and when we left Ikea there was like
- 10:43Speaker 1: a very nice and intense rainbow that was nice Also,
- 10:49Speaker 1: we bought, very random facts, we bought a foldable chair
- 10:53Speaker 1: and we buy it and then we get it only
- 10:59Speaker 1: after paying. So we went to the cashier later, later,
- 11:04Speaker 1: later on because we had a very long list of
- 11:07Speaker 1: things to buy and we forgot it.
- 11:11Speaker 2: We forgot the foldable chair.
- 11:14Speaker 1: And We go out and we were supposed to come
- 11:18Speaker 1: back by Uber because we were carrying so many things
- 11:23Speaker 1: and we would have had to take two buses to
- 11:29Speaker 1: come back home. And it would have taken like 50,
- 11:34Speaker 1: 55 minutes, like considering the waiting times and like changing
- 11:41Speaker 1: buses and walking to the stations, like to the stops
- 11:44Speaker 1: and so on. With so many things, including like a
- 11:49Speaker 1: coat rack and the foldable chair and two huge IKEA bags.
- 11:55Speaker 6: Full of things.
- 11:57Speaker 2: So we were like, nope.
- 11:59Speaker 1: But then as it had rained so intensely, of course,
- 12:05Speaker 1: the Uber rates were so expensive.
- 12:09Speaker 2: So we waited and waited and waited.
- 12:10Speaker 3: And that's when we're like, by the way, the chair.
- 12:15Speaker 2: Oh my God, the chair.
- 12:16Speaker 3: So we went back and yeah, I got it. And yeah,
- 12:23Speaker 3: now we just want to chill. I'm very tired.
- 12:26Speaker 1: And yeah, this morning I went for a walk to
- 12:31Speaker 1: the harbor and it was very nice. And I had
- 12:35Speaker 1: a new student and I thought that that was very
- 12:39Speaker 1: cute because apparently the student couldn't find tutors anywhere. with
- 12:44Speaker 1: availability in his time zone he is in Nevada and
- 12:50Speaker 1: he took his class at his 1am I found that
- 12:55Speaker 1: extremely cute because I guess that means that he really
- 12:58Speaker 1: wants to learn so the kind of things that I
- 13:01Speaker 1: like the kind of students that I like to adopt
- 13:06Speaker 1: so yeah random fact about.
- 13:12Speaker 3: My life right now.
- 13:16Speaker 1: Also I was talking to Eva and we were kind
- 13:18Speaker 1: of trying to see the good side and the not
- 13:22Speaker 1: so great side about our new life here and we
- 13:29Speaker 1: were thinking about the things that we miss about Vienna
- 13:34Speaker 1: the things that we don't have here or the things
- 13:36Speaker 1: that we don't precisely love here and some things that
- 13:40Speaker 1: we really really love here one of the things that
- 13:44Speaker 1: I love is that we have a sea view. I
- 13:47Speaker 1: know that I've talked about it, but I'm obsessed.
- 13:50Speaker 2: I love that.
- 13:52Speaker 3: What's something that you love?
- 13:54Speaker 6: I love the fresh fruit.
- 13:56Speaker 7: I'm a big sucker for fruit, and I love that
- 13:58Speaker 7: they have delicious watermelon and mangoes, and we have a
- 14:02Speaker 7: super nice fruit shop around the corner, so.
- 14:04Speaker 6: That is nice.
- 14:04Speaker 3: And it's not expensive.
- 14:07Speaker 6: Yes, it's not expensive.
- 14:09Speaker 1: Something else is....
- 14:13Speaker 2: If I want to say something.
- 14:15Speaker 6: I like that public transport is for free for people.
- 14:18Speaker 2: I want to say that.
- 14:18Speaker 3: I wanted to say that too.
- 14:19Speaker 6: Well, I said it first.
- 14:21Speaker 7: I think that's really cool that public transport is free,
- 14:24Speaker 7: at least for people who live here.
- 14:26Speaker 1: Yeah. You just have a card and you have to
- 14:29Speaker 1: kind of like check in when you get on the
- 14:33Speaker 1: bus and that's it.
- 14:36Speaker 3: And if you go to the Metro and like.
- 14:40Speaker 2: You have to check out.
- 14:42Speaker 1: Yes. No, but it's really nice because it's not just
- 14:46Speaker 1: in Palma. It's in the whole island. So, for example,
- 14:50Speaker 1: we went to Soller like two weeks ago, two weekends ago.
- 14:54Speaker 3: And it's like an hour trip. It's a different city.
- 14:59Speaker 3: And it's for free.
- 15:00Speaker 1: Yes.
- 15:01Speaker 6: But now let's come to the things we don't like.
- 15:04Speaker 6: And number one on this list is... The water.
- 15:10Speaker 7: Like having lived in Vienna... Me for many years, Gloria
- 15:13Speaker 7: for not that many years, but still. We are used
- 15:16Speaker 7: to the best water in the universe. Yes, Vienna has
- 15:19Speaker 7: the best water in the universe.
- 15:20Speaker 2: It does.
- 15:21Speaker 6: And the water here sucks.
- 15:23Speaker 2: It does.
- 15:25Speaker 6: It doesn't taste good.
- 15:28Speaker 3: It doesn't.
- 15:30Speaker 6: And it has a lot of.
- 15:32Speaker 5: Kalk.
- 15:33Speaker 6: Kalk in it.
- 15:34Speaker 7: So it really sucks. And we have to buy bottled
- 15:37Speaker 7: water and we have to buy a fucking Brita and
- 15:39Speaker 7: it's a thing.
- 15:41Speaker 1: And you know what? I find it interesting because in Mexico,
- 15:45Speaker 1: you don't drink water from like the tap. So my
- 15:51Speaker 1: parents buy water in like huge gallons of water, like
- 15:55Speaker 1: 21 liter gallons. And after they buy that water, my
- 16:01Speaker 1: mom boils it for extra safety. And that's how I
- 16:04Speaker 1: grew up, you know, I was used to buy water.
- 16:08Speaker 1: I was used to not being able to drink tap water.
- 16:12Speaker 1: But then, of course, I arrived to Vienna or honestly,
- 16:15Speaker 1: I arrived to Europe because in Italy, I already discovered
- 16:19Speaker 1: the perks of just drinking tap water.
- 16:23Speaker 6: So me as an Austrian, I would never drink the
- 16:26Speaker 6: tap water in Italy.
- 16:27Speaker 5: You would.
- 16:28Speaker 3: I mean, I drank it and it was fine.
- 16:30Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I am not gonna get diarrhea
- 16:33Speaker 1: if I drink this water, you know?
- 16:35Speaker 3: And that was fine. Then I arrived to Vienna and
- 16:38Speaker 3: I met Eva and she was obsessed with her water.
- 16:41Speaker 1: And she was like, oh my God, I'm not gonna
- 16:45Speaker 1: drink water anywhere else if it's not Vienna. Because even
- 16:48Speaker 1: like Linz, she's like, I mean, it's okay, but it's
- 16:52Speaker 1: not amazing.
- 16:53Speaker 5: And I was like, you're so.
- 16:57Speaker 1: Overreacting like no I cannot tell and then after getting
- 17:01Speaker 1: used to Vienna water I went back to Italy for
- 17:04Speaker 1: a couple of days and I noticed it had a
- 17:07Speaker 1: funny taste so I was like oh my god uh
- 17:12Speaker 1: am I annoying.
- 17:13Speaker 8: Now anyways annoying that's cute anyways um still here like
- 17:22Speaker 8: people say you don't drink tap water like Apparently it's potable,
- 17:27Speaker 8: like it's drinkable.
- 17:28Speaker 1: You can drink it, but because of the super high
- 17:32Speaker 1: amounts of calc and these kind of things, you can
- 17:35Speaker 1: get stones in your kidneys like on the long term.
- 17:38Speaker 1: So I don't want that. And now we have been
- 17:44Speaker 1: buying like packs of water and carrying them. Thank you,
- 17:50Speaker 1: CrossFit Jack, for the farmer.
- 17:54Speaker 1: Farmers carry because now we can carry very heavy things
- 17:59Speaker 1: and for long distances crossfit for life hashtag um but
- 18:05Speaker 1: no like i hate it i hate it we cannot
- 18:10Speaker 1: just like drink water here like tap water then so
- 18:14Speaker 1: we've been kind of like trying different options we tried
- 18:19Speaker 1: that then we bought a brita it's not very practical
- 18:24Speaker 1: But okay. And then we got this aqua service where
- 18:27Speaker 1: basically you rent like a water dispenser and they bring
- 18:31Speaker 1: like huge gallons like the ones in Mexico, but.
- 18:33Speaker 3: It's so expensive.
- 18:36Speaker 1: So apparently we were supposed to get like four gallons
- 18:41Speaker 1: a month, which is like 84 liters of water, but
- 18:46Speaker 1: it's not enough because we are healthy people who drink
- 18:51Speaker 1: at least, at least two liters of water a day
- 18:56Speaker 1: two and a half or even three so you do
- 18:59Speaker 1: the math and it's so hot here in palma right
- 19:03Speaker 1: now you have to drink water like you have to
- 19:05Speaker 1: drink a lot of water and the the lady who
- 19:09Speaker 1: like the customer service lady for aqua service she was
- 19:12Speaker 1: like so how many people live there in your house
- 19:14Speaker 1: and i was like two and she's like oh so
- 19:18Speaker 1: maybe like you drink like four or five glasses of
- 19:22Speaker 1: water a day. So I think maybe two gallons a
- 19:26Speaker 1: month would be fine.
- 19:27Speaker 5: I'm like, no.
- 19:29Speaker 1: So we would have to pay more than 40 euros
- 19:33Speaker 1: a month for water when that's for free in Vienna.
- 19:36Speaker 1: So that's something that we miss about Vienna and that
- 19:39Speaker 1: we don't love in Palma. I also love that people
- 19:42Speaker 1: are actually very, are actually very nice and friendly, even
- 19:48Speaker 1: at the like public services offices or like government offices
- 19:54Speaker 1: or like the police station.
- 19:55Speaker 3: People are so nice I was not.
- 19:58Speaker 1: Used to that I have to say I'm sorry but
- 20:01Speaker 1: I was not used to that if I want to say.
- 20:04Speaker 7: Something I want to say the second annoying thing about
- 20:08Speaker 7: Mallorca is that those of you who don't know in Mallorca,
- 20:12Speaker 7: people don't only speak Spanish, they.
- 20:14Speaker 6: Also speak Mallorquin, which is Catalan. It's Catalan.
- 20:19Speaker 7: And the thing is, at the university, all the official
- 20:23Speaker 7: information is in Catalan only. So instead of using a
- 20:29Speaker 7: language that everybody can speak here and that millions of
- 20:32Speaker 7: people speak in this world, they decided to... provide all
- 20:36Speaker 7: the information in Catalan, a language that is spoken by
- 20:39Speaker 7: five people.
- 20:41Speaker 1: But, I mean, we understand why they speak Catalan.
- 20:45Speaker 6: We understand the political reasons behind it.
- 20:47Speaker 2: Can you say it?
- 20:49Speaker 7: So Franco didn't allow people to speak Catalan, so people
- 20:53Speaker 7: only spoke it secretly at home. And now, obviously, people
- 20:56Speaker 7: are very proud of speaking Catalan.
- 20:58Speaker 3: So it makes sense, right?
- 21:00Speaker 6: I get it, but like.
- 21:02Speaker 3: But if you are trying to go international... It's.
- 21:05Speaker 7: Still fucking annoying because, you know, like, I don't even
- 21:08Speaker 7: ask for English. The only thing I ask for is
- 21:10Speaker 7: information in Spanish or bilingual in Catalan and in Spanish.
- 21:15Speaker 1: But, yeah.
- 21:16Speaker 6: That's too much to ask.
- 21:17Speaker 1: Now she's understanding my life when people were speaking.
- 21:21Speaker 3: Dialect in Austria. Not even German dialect. Anyways. What else
- 21:28Speaker 3: do we love?
- 21:29Speaker 2: Anything else that we love?
- 21:31Speaker 3: We love our neighborhood. We live in an amazing neighborhood.
- 21:35Speaker 6: We love our neighborhood.
- 21:37Speaker 3: We love our flat.
- 21:38Speaker 7: We love the weather, although it's very humid and you're
- 21:43Speaker 7: sweating all the time.
- 21:44Speaker 6: But we love the sunshine. We love the beach. We
- 21:46Speaker 6: love the food. We love the drinks.
- 21:51Speaker 3: And we love each other.
- 21:53Speaker 2: Yeah, we love each other.
- 21:55Speaker 3: So that's it so far. If you are curious.
- 21:58Speaker 1: About how our life in Palma is going, so far
- 22:03Speaker 1: so good.
- 22:04Speaker 5: We love it.
- 22:06Speaker 1: Yeah, until next time, bye.
