The last words i remember of my family is "Bon Voyage" as i set flight to Valencia for a vacation or if you would like to call it an OE (Overseas Experience).I Heard the turbines of the so called plane power down i suddenly noticed nothing was beneath me, a sort of empty feeling or it was just my stomach.The intercom came on and and the captain announced we were landing in a few minutes.I gazed out the window and looked but couldn't see anything but thick smoggy cloud.I turned my headset on to what sounded like deathmetal the sound went through my whole body, i quickly turned it off.I gazed out the window for a second time to my amazement i saw land, there was something different about this land than my hometown.

It was much more cleaner as though it was undiscovered territory, at that moment i wish i had a camera but the flight attendant did not allow it.

we continued flying through the dense forests of Valencia.

An ill mannered kid in the plane shouted out "were gonna crash!!!" i ignored him although others didn't, one man told him to shut up i had a chuckle to myself after that.The captain announced again that the runway was in sight and the flight attendants were to do before landing procedures.I continued looking at the scenery.

Unfortunately my flight was near completion and the scenery ended but an overview of the city really made me want to explore all the wonderful sites.

Last night was easy i slept in a the airport hotel but i am going to go to my apartment today hopefully its just as good as the photos online.

As we drove past i thought to myself this was a nice area and the constuction site caught my eye so i took a few more shots of it.

I also admired the scenery and the canal that was in development

The taxi driver quoted "theres your apartment mate" i replied with a brief thanks and a short smile that seemed fake.

My apartment at night. I would get some shots of my inside but i am to tired right now i just want to sleep.................

Sunday 19th June 2006

I decided to go to the city today to the city today by the time i left to go to my apartment it was night, its more built up in the city and a lot more culture and life, i should have rested today as i have jet lag but im so eager to get out of my shoebox sized apartment.Heres a photo at night of the downtown area why is that black line on there up the top? must be a photo developing error

 

A nice day time photo of a modern estate i wish i could live there but it looks rather expensive, i would be to embarrassed to inquire i would sound poor.

Another day shot, the front of the complex

A view between buildings of the shopping center

A nice little park, this looks like a good area to live.

cleaner475: Thanks for visiting Richard i appreciate your comment a lot

Thanks for coming! Please comment

Why is this space so big, sorry if it offends any Mods.

[hijodecordoba 74]

the shopping centre and the other buildings in the area are pretty nice. i like cities, which include trees, but in your case, there too much. in my opinion, it prevents the city to look like a city, until now.

you know what i mean?

however, nice update

[jacqulina 162]

wonderfull update i love the way you are putting your city together,i think the trees look wonderfull,beautifull work on the shopping area,excellent work and pics my friend

[shinkansen1 84]

Did you B.A.T. that modern estate? I really want it!

[Craig-Abcvs 1,595]

I like that ampitheatre - very coolio.

PS: I now have Mr Cycledog's trees - excellent, most excellent.
