i did it.i booked my flight, am digging up my passport, and will be using the next 3 weeks to practice rrrolling my RRRs.
not that it will matter too much anyway, because i'm absolutely SURE that every time i will attempt to speak spanish when i am in madrid, it will come out in japanese. just like my spanish was brilliant when i was in tokyo.
current mood: how do you say... yippee!!
