Catalan: yeah yeah yeah yeah

Spanish: so i it was

Catalan: i remember um i i wanted to go with moto and i took me a long time to convince my mother to let me but then i didn't know how to go with moto because i never learn how to go with a bicycle when i was a child

Spanish: oh yeah i remember that as a child <overlap> that's right

Spanish: outdoor oh wow

Catalan: yeah but the water was warm

Spanish: was in hospital

Catalan: yeah it's in sun

Spanish: okay

Catalan: um and the water is warm but it's outdoor and so amazing to because in barcelona like it's cold in winter they also have like an indoor one um that is smaller twenty five meters but in barcelona like if you have a sunny day in winter um you can go to the outdoor swimming pool it's not that bad and i like that it being cold when getting out that was like for me one of the good moments of of of the of the week people sometimes complain because they say that when they swim um they feel a bit like um i don't know like hamsters on a week

Spanish: oh yeah that's that's that's a good technology actually yeah

Catalan: yeah because people think a lot of how many swimming pools

Spanish: yeah yeah what of others and you have to teach me and and when whenever you arrive to the end of the lap you do the turnaround

Catalan: no no no

Spanish: okay

Catalan: but i really enjoy it and i really miss it here i think and it's a very complete sport

Spanish: mm hmm yeah yeah yeah i used to do it a lot actually it was like when i was climbing a lot i used to do it like every three days as well so

Catalan: it's good for the back

Spanish: (())

Catalan: it's good for the ass well <laugh>

Spanish: really <laugh> it gives you a good ass

Catalan: yeah it does

Spanish: it shapes your ass

Catalan: yeah yeah yeah because you do make like a lot of strength with your legs

Spanish: mm hmm

Catalan: i think it's just like it really stretches a lot of the muscles

Spanish: mm hmm you you you know you know what i used to do uh with my mother when we were in la scala there was some periods of time like magically i don't know that my mother and i um stayed in la scala together for one month or something

Catalan: mm hmm

Spanish: and is it was usually when i because while climbing i broke my ankle um climbing that's uh very hard story i was in uh zillertal uh that is uh valley in in austria and when i was climbing i i because i i was with professional climbers okay uh here is when i started learning that something uh was a little bit funny and because everyone was climbing super fast i decided to skip some secure points while climbing

Catalan: mm

Spanish: and i fell down <laugh>

Catalan: oh no

Spanish: and then yeah yeah it was pathetic i think um i had to put my feet because i was feeling like i did a lot of

Catalan: (())

Spanish: <overlap> yeah yeah because i i didn't have a good point so the the fall down was very hard

Catalan: you had to like climb together

Spanish: yeah yeah yeah yeah now i have these mistakes again so i i broke my ankle and then i went to la scala to recover for a month

Catalan: mm hmm

Spanish: and i remember that my mother used to tell me you have to walk in the sun and and even the physiotherapist recommended me that because that way your ankle is like the sun is interesting because it makes your feet to put in all kinds of position in a very um soft way let's say and uh yeah uh what what i was doing is to swim in the sea but because i'm very scared to go very very deep in the sea i was doing like um uh like beaches let's say from

Catalan: yeah like following the coastline

Spanish: following the coastline yeah and i was following the coastline of la scala and it was very nice it was very nice um and yeah that that's all that it was not a swimming pool but it was almost a swimming pool

Catalan: yeah i like a lot um swimming in the sea as well in summer um yeah i do that as well i take the glasses and i go yeah i really enjoy swimming um if we in this summer um we have to swim in turkey

Spanish: oh yeah that's true

Catalan: we'll go to the seaside and

Spanish: one thing that i would like to try at some point i don't know when and if i i could be able to but there is these spaces (()) that have

Catalan: yeah yeah yeah yeah

Spanish: that must be super cool no i think with the look

Catalan: yeah 'cause you don't need to like um lift up the the

Spanish: okay you can just

Catalan: yeah

Spanish: like that yeah yeah um we have um four more minutes do you want to talk about something else that maybe

Catalan: sure um what was in the list that we haven't covered

Spanish: um <laugh> so yeah i dunno i think that we covered so what is your favorite thing about edinburgh this is the last thing um

Catalan: my favorite thing about edinburgh <overlap> uh i don't know sorry that's not a very good answer um

Spanish: <laugh> no it's okay um

Catalan: because i don't know edinburgh so so much i think my favorite thing well i really like the park that the park that is there's a tree that um that my friend calls albert i really like that's my favorite thing that tree

Spanish: that tree yeah it's my favorite thing though we're <laugh> we're connected there um yeah what a coincidence um yeah for for me it's the people i think um i've been thinking a lot about it and it is beautiful the weather is horrible but i think that the best thing of edinburgh is the people and and the communities are created around pubs and how you meet them and i think it's something that it i think it becomes with the weather so people have to be to create more community because there is less things to do i think i dunno

Catalan: mm hmm

Spanish: um but it's nice that um people get in the bar in the pub and they're extremely open and friendly and they are always open to meet new people they like to

Catalan: yeah

Spanish: to create new links all the time

Catalan: mm hmm

Spanish: and it's something that is is amazing for me yeah

Catalan: that's nice what's your favorite thing about london

Spanish: oh that's interesting um yeah i like i i like peckham i think um and i still i start thinking about why um but i think uh because i think that i have this image of london of not being a neighborhood i used to not like it at all because i remember the city um i don't know like this going the thing of going to a bar and only very close group of friends like simply divided and because i was coming from edinburgh i i remember that this contrast shocked me a lot like because i remember that i i went to a path in london just in (()) i had a meeting or something and nobody talked to me nobody said anything to me

Catalan: mm hmm

Spanish: and that was weird you know and

Catalan: yeah

Spanish: even i i was feeling a little bit but when we were in peckham i think this although it didn't happen that someone sit next to us i remember that people used to say hello in the streets

Catalan: yes

Spanish: so we do not have that in edinburgh but it was something close i think and finding this type of neighborhood like um thing in london i think it was very nice so i would say that peckham is one of the things that i liked i think that that in in hackney they didn't happen that much but um yeah i dunno i i like this thing of like finding neighborhoods and it's very correlated with the wealth of the people of the place i think because edinburgh is another wealthy city i think

Catalan: mm hmm

Spanish: and these things get created and i i tend to like them a lot more than

Catalan: mm hmm

Spanish: yeah okay i think that that we are done um we can we can finish

Catalan: okay um bye

Spanish: bye

Catalan: nice conversation

Spanish: nice conversation
