Learning

Exactly two weeks ago we found the people who needed us to work with them, and the following 11 days we were working for them like dogs. From 10 to 16 hours of daily work without a day off was kind of exhausting, but at least we now deserve our holidays! The best thing is that we got to know the people from our multicultural Crepe-team. All together we are now seven, representing seven different countries: France, Argentina, Mexico, UK, New Zealand, Germany and Finland.

Working with these people wasn't always easy, as organizing and planning things is not very highly appriciated in the team. Oh well... we are pretty good in organizing things already, and learning to work in a total chaos will for sure be a useful skill in the future. Luckily we share the Nordic-German sense of order, so that there was someone to share all the frustration caused buy the "rollo africano", like our boss was characterizing the relaxed way of working. Besides working without a plan, we have learnt lot of Spanish (though I still don't understand a lot of Argentinian) and got some experience in beating the needless timidity.

As the exhausting Feria de Pinchos is over, all in all we are very happy. Working was mostly fun, we have new friends and we don't have to worry about money for the moment. And what's more, we seem to be the most famous blondes of Santander!
