FOR OUR TEACHERS

Since we're here, no one has written here, so I'm going to do it.

I want to write this post to give the thank you at our teachers. They have been a big support for us in this trip, and they have been like our mothers for two weeks. I want give thank you for support us these days we've been unbearable, thank you for wake up us in these days we've got depressive, thank you for look after us, for give us your patience, for give us your support, for give us all in this trip.

In name of all my partners, thank you for doing these experience has been the best in our lives, for playing cards although you didn't understand the game, for making us laugh.

Thanks for all.

National Day of Catalonia

On 11th September, National Day of Catalonia!
We'll celebrate this day in London which sorrow that we won't be in our home!


I ask for this day, I want that we sing the hymn in Catalan or in English, so this I leave the hymn here.

Catalunya triomfant, tornarà a ser rica i plena. Endarrera aquesta gent tan ufana i tan superba.	Catalonia triumphant Shall once again be rich and bountiful, Drive them back, those people So conceited and so arrogant.
Bon cop de falç, Bon cop de falç, Defensors de la terra! Bon cop de falç!	A good blow with the sickle, A good blow with the sickle, Defenders of the land! A good blow with the sickle!
Ara és hora, segadors. Ara és hora d'estar alerta. Per quan vingui un altre juny esmolem ben bé les eines.	Now is the time, reapers, Now is the time to be alert. For when another June comes, Let us sharpen our tools well.
Bon cop de falç, Bon cop de falç, Defensors de la terra! Bon cop de falç!	A good blow with the sickle, A good blow with the sickle, Defenders of the land! A good blow with the sickle!
Que tremoli l'enemic en veient la nostra ensenya. Com fem caure espigues d'or, quan convé seguem cadenes.	Let the enemy tremble On seeing our banner. Just as we cut down golden stalks of wheat, When the time is right, we shall reap chains.
Bon cop de falç, Bon cop de falç, Defensors de la terra! Bon cop de falç!	A good blow with the sickle, A good blow with the sickle, Defenders of the land! A good blow with the sickle!
