day 4:
We climbed up two different inactive volcanoes. it was, again, freezing because we were approximately 700m above ground level. We went to few different spots in the volcano and take records of its temperature, soil texture, amount of trees, height of trees and some more i can’t think of. In one of the volcanoes, there was a little church in the middle of the big crater. It was because in the old days, they didn’t have censors like us nowadays to find out whether a hazard’s going to happen or not. They believed by putting a church there, they could pray to God to prevent volcanic explosions.




day 5:
Woke up very early in the morning again, about 6 and be ready at 8 to head to Barcelona. We only spent half a day in Barcelona to do Urban Studies, where we do surveys about the vehicles, houses and pedestrians. Wasn’t a long day. At about 3pm, we drove back to Madrid.


day 6:
back to Doha ;’(
hello readers, i just came back from Spain for a school field trip (: here’s a little bit of my trip
day 1
Arrived early in the morning, waited for the coach for a while and we just wondered around the airport enjoying the cold. When the coach arrives, we loaded our luggage and off to Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, the Real Madrid stadium (: but it wasn’t open yet, so we decided to walk around the stadium. once. not yet open. so we walked around it twice, lol.
We took a quick tour around the stadium, and of course it was huge. I’m not a fan of football but it was very interesting and enjoyable, ha. There were rooms where they kept all the trophies. Pictures of Kaka and Ronaldo too
We also had a chance to take a look at their changing room haha. Then we shopped ![]()
After that, we went to the hotel, put our luggage then went out for a quick lunch and back to our hotel. We got time to relax a bit and had to get ready again for a city tour. Walking, not the ones with a roofless coach haha. After four hours of walking, we got time to rest again in our rooms and when we woke up we went out for another walk to dinner.


day 2
We all had to wake up early in the morning and set off to Catalonia at about 10am by coach. We arrived there at about 6pm, it was a long journey and very tiring indeed. We shared stories in the coach, fun though. Didn’t do that much that day but after dinner that evening was very funny. Suddenly, a big group of people dressed up as babies, doctors, patients, nurses, gypsies went down the stairs and started dancing. Then we found out that there was a carnival that night.

day 3
It was a long day, and i’ll say it briefly. We went to four different river to investigate their depth, width, water flow and all that, since the trip was all about geography. It was pretty fun though. We had guides of course. The first river was on top of a mountain so it was freezing and i actually managed to fell down on my knees and hands. I could barely move! ahah, thank God i wore waterproof stuffs, which we had to ![]()
After dinner that night, we went to the bar and spot the grouup of old people in our hotel dancing. it was so sweet. btw, bar, NOT PUB HAHA



i’ll write more tomorrow, or sometimes this week
TODAY WAS LIKE EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA AWESOME.
i went to cinema in villagio with ifa straight away after school. we planned to watch the imaginarium of doctor parnassus because i was so desperate although it turned out it finished the day before, sigh. we watched avatar instead and no 3D, we kind of regret it but oh well. aaaaaaaaaaaaaand tadaaa IT WAS ONLY THE TWO OF US IN THE WHOLE CINEMA DAMN. it’s like we owned it. we chose any random seats we wanted, put our legs up here and there. we screamed and laughed hard for no reason either haha!

the movie was amazing, but not the one i would really watch over and over like some did.
after that we just walked around the mall, went to virgin megastore, met some friends; Sarah R, Sarah A & Fariha but they left us to watch avatar lol. we walked and walken until we decided to stop by at starbucks, where we met Reyniella, Anya, Dabya, Noor & Tala who just went to watch Paranormal Activity and blabbered about how scary it was. we decided to hangout with them afterward, even though Tala & Noor went home early.
we went ‘guy hunting’ too, especially Rey who was so into it. HAHAHA. Anya was inhaling the helium from her free balloon to get squakey voice, it was so stupid people stared but it was hella fun!
