House and job hunting. The latter is only just beginning. The former is pretty much settled.
Finding a new apartment in Madrid has been a difficult task. I ended up visiting 9 different places around the city, and calling many more numbers. Many places got snatched up right as we went to see them. Others were downright terrible houses. Fortunately, the search ended up paying off. Or so it seems at this point. We move into a new place tomorrow night. Pictures and details will come soon.
In celebration, I have this picture. I found these hot dogs in my local supermarket. I believe that Jonah may have found them before me, but it was a joyful rediscovery for me. Those of you native english speakers should find the name brand ironically hilarious:

I did find these last summer. Absolutely hilarious. Other good finds have been a beauticians academy called "Asses" and a brand of (you are going to love this) hot dog buns called "Bums".
As I know you did a semester in Oxford, you know that the humorous reference there is not about our housing-challenged friends but another thing all together.
Those coupled with these ill-fated frankfurters would make for quite the picture!
The next thing I need to do is get the video camera out and ask people in the supermarket what their experience of "Wudys" has been. :D
I totally read that in Spanish at first and it took me a second to get the humor. But it's GREAT!!
Good luck on the move.
That's hilarious.....the beauticians' academy, as well!
I am glad you found a place! Hope you get settled well. Let us know if you need anything from these parts...
