Traveling to Spain- Personal Narrative
Spain. A wonderful country with a different culture to any other in
the world. With its wonderful scenery jumping out at you and its
surprisingly unfamiliar ranges of spicy foods, this and the relaxation
was why I wanted to go. But with all its exciting features I was
barely able to relax at all.
My journey started when I left the plane. The hot breeze immediately
hit my soft pink skin and left me with a silent shiver up my spine. I
looked around and the setting was beautiful, all I could see was lush
green fields, and silent hills with the sun just rising over the top.
I stopped staring in amazement and walked over to the airport. It was
very neat and tidy with the surrounding trees were giving a scent of
coconut.
I collected my luggage and whistled down a taxi. It was an old
Mercedes with rusty doors and ripped seats but it got me from A to B
so I was thankful. The scene out of the dusty cab window was very
exotic. The red sunset sky and clear yellow stars were shining
brighter than ever. I just couldn’t wait to leave the taxi and explore
the country that I would be living in for the next two weeks.
Eventually I reached the villa I was staying in. It was set in the
middle of a small village surrounded by sizzling brown leaved trees,
and long peaceful roads. It was an amazing scene.
I slowly walked to door of the villa and noticed that the brickwork
had gradually eroded like a cliff at the side of the sea. I hoped the
inside could be as good as the outside, I opened the door, took a look
round and saw that it was. The lounge was incredibly romantic with an
exquisite view from the outside...

foods. I finished the nachos, eventually, with a burning mouth. I
needed to order a glass of fresh strawberry milkshake which was the
most refreshing drink I had ever tasted. It left my tongue coldly and
slowly sizzling away. It was out of this world.
I then went on to my desert which was ice cream and a coffee. The ice
cream wasn’t like any old ice cream. It was the softest and most
smoothest ice cream, with bulky but thin covered cream to create a
taste of bubbly ness in my mouth. I then finished the night with a
splendid cup of coffee. I could really taste the coffee beans within
it. It was gorgeous and the smell was like chocolate mixed with a hint
of mint. The smell was just exceptional.
For me it had now come to the end of the night, so I walked back to
the villa and jumped in my luxurious bed.

I know how this experience feels. My first car was a blue 1994 Hyundai Elantra GLS. I loved that car. I would pamper it with the best gas, the best oil; and I would wash it once a week. I would go everywhere with my car.
Growing up in a Hispanic household the first language that you learn should be Spanish, right? This was not the case for me, having two older sisters that were already in school learning English and always using English around me and my family. English was my first language, this helped with my early youth in picking up English at school faster. Learning English first was detrimental to learning Spanish, I learned informal Spanish called Spanglish. I would mix up English words with Spanish words and made it harder for me to construct vocal sentences. Being a Hispanic is difficult if you know limited Spanish, it was important for me to dedicate time to learn Spanish.
We are going to take a journey to Spain and look at some of their customs. While doing research I have realized that the people in Spain believe it is important to show respect with proper manners. It is imperative that when going to Spain on business or vacation that you be familiar with some of their customs. To prepare you I will discuss some of the key points in your visit. First I will explain the different language used. Next let me demonstrate to you a proper greeting. Next I will describe the typical way to dress and dining etiquette. Finally I will be finishing with units of measure and currency. So let our journey begin with language!

When traveling to Spain on business, make sure you are prepared ahead of time because first impressions are essential to a successful business relationship in Spain. Start by brushing up on your Spanish. While there are some English translators available it will make a better first impression if you know the language. Also, in your speech use the more formal usted instead of tu’ unless invited to use the informal. Pay attention to what you wear to your business meetings and any personal parties they may ask you to attend. If you own designer business attire wear them, likewise, any accessories to accent your outfit will be noticed by your Spanish business associates. A nice scarf, watch, cufflinks, necklace, or designer handbag will give the impression that you have an eye for detail. Men should wear a nice dark colored suit with white button-up shirt and a silk tie to a formal business meeting while women should dress to highlight their feminine side. However, if you receive an invitation to a business casual meeting you dress like above with no tie.
I do not remember how I got that little cut because I do not remember being scratched. As I laid there wrapped up in my very bright lime green colored blanket I realized that I can across a beautiful yet deadly beast.

Throughout life, many of us have had an opportunity to visit different places, so memorable that we cannot avoid sharing the experience with our friends and family members. During holidays, family members or groups of people would always want to go on vacations but unfortunately, they simply have no idea on how to plan for their vacations. This is a plan for a vocational trip of 25 people to Spain. It includes places to visit and accommodation during the vacation.
Throughout someone’s life they will go to many places with their family, friends, another relatives. I have been on a few vacations that have made a lasting impact on my life. But one of the most memorable vacations I have experienced was with my cousins. I went to goa beach. Most of you probably don’t know about that beach but it is a very famous one in south India. I enjoyed myself to the fullest. The beach environment was enlightening. I would not have wanted to take this trip with anyone other than my cousins. We had a great time on the ocean sands and swimming in the ocean everyday made this vacation unforgettable.
