Espana!

I took 4 years of Spanish in high school. And finally, I can put it to use tomorrow and for a week! I felt so cool when I was first learning Spanish in high school because some of the words in Tagalog, (my native language that I can understand but can speak little of) had some Spanish influence. Like car. Coche. Or Como Esta and Kummusta.. yeah different accents but very similar meaning. The Spaniards ruled the Filipinos for 333 years. That's a bloody long time! I think the best word that is used by both languages that mean the same thing is FIESTA! As Lionel Richie put it best..

Yeah Fiesta forever..Come on and sing my song

All night long..all night.. All night..all night..
All night long..all night.. All night..all night..
All night long..all night.. All night..all night..

So I'm going to go off on a tangent because I googled the lyrics because my favourite bit was JUMBO JUMBO!!

So then I saw this..

Tom bo li de say de moi ya
Yeah, Jambo Jumbo
Way to parti' o we goin'
Oh, jambali
Tom bo li de say de moi ya
Yeah, JUMBO JUMBO!

I LOVE THAT PART.. hahahaha..
What the hell is "Tom bo li de say de moi ya" !!

Get it in your head and sing it all weekend!
JUMBO JUMBO!! LOL.

I hope to blog some updates while we're gone, but if not, see ya in a week!

Gotta love Lionel!

Oh, and probably the most frequent phrase I will use on the trip.
Donde esta el bano?

If you know me, this makes total sense. =)
