As you may have guessed, I'm still settling in. I've been under the weather for a week or so, but I'm feeling better now and should be back to 100% in no time. I still have not gotten the paperwork I need to be here legally after November 15th, and I also am still choosing between apartments (more on that later.) I've gotten a chance to meet almost all of the classes and teachers that I'll be working with this year, and I've already been contacted repeatedly with offers to tutor different students and teachers around town, which should help cover the costs of the Ferrari I'll be renting for long weekends. I am still deciding on where I want to live -- my school is on the outskirts of the city, so the choice basically is whether to be close to school but far from everything else, or the opposite. My schedule, as it stands, has a lot of odd gaps and breaks that make living close to school appealing. But the city center is where all the action is. We shall see...
El Catedral de Castellón
I also was able to procure a BiciCas card. For 10E and a copy of a credit card, the city will give you a card that allows you to check out a bike for two hours from some 30+ bike racks around the city, each with about 20 bikes. You simply swipe your card, put in a PIN, and choose your bike. You can drop the bike off at any other rack that's part of the system, where it automatically locks it up and checks you in. It's a great system that makes getting around a breeze, and hopefully our United States of America can figure something like it out soon!
