I am posting this blog while I am sitting in a university cafe in Zaragoza. Why am I here? I needed to take TOEFL test for a *stupid* reason, and the only place I could take it today was in Zaragoza. Sigh, the things we do.
The trip started out with a nice train ride from Barcelona Sants Estacio. Somehow, when booking the ticket, I ended up with a first-class (preferente, as they call it) seat in the Renfe trains. I wasn't really expecting anything except maybe bigger seats than the usual train seats, but boy I was wrong! Attendants served a full breakfast, gave out hot towels, etc. The works!
Zaragoza is pretty now. The sun is shining, and maybe I should see at least one tourist sight before I go back to Barcelona at around 7pm. The TOEFL went well, and the only problem I had was that I was starving when I came out of the test center. Even though I had planned a healthy meal before and after the test, when I came out, I couldn't find a restaurant with an open kitchen, so all they had were deep fried stuff. I just had eggs and cheese rolled in ham, then battered and deep-fried. Too bad about my "healthy" intentions.
