The big decision.
Hello, Sto diantes.
Today, I'm walking through the streets of Madrid,
heading towards the train station,
and that's because I've made a big decision.
Our apartment feels so empty about Anna,
and I can't just sit around feeling sad.
So, I'm going to Malaga.
After chatting with the Camarero last night,
he really got me thinking about it.
When I got home, I watched a few videos and, I mean, wow, it looks incredible.
A beautiful city on the coast, full of history, sunny streets, delicious food, and that relaxed seaside vibe.
And after a few more canyas, and yes, even a hara or two, I decided to just go for it.
I jumped online, found a last minute bargain on a train, and booked it right there and then.
Malaga, here boy.
I also got inspired by the YouTube videos I was watching last night, so I made another big decision.
I'm going to buy a camera and bring immersive Spanish to life.
From now on, I'm going to film my whole trip, teaching you Spanish as I go.
go. So instead of just listening, you'll actually be able to watch real people, real interactions,
and even more learning. But first, before I get on the train, I need to stop at a camera shop.
And here we are. Wow, so many cameras to choose from. This one looks good. Caballero,
very good day.
What do you
recommendas?
A camera
for the vlogs.
This
is it
good?
Hello,
I'm sure.
He'll
help.
That camera is
more for
photos,
not for
video.
I recommend
this.
The D.J.I.
Well,
wow.
It's
very
little.
I like.
I like much.
So, the first one I picked, he said, was better for photos.
And he's recommended me this one instead.
It's not cheap.
But, oh well, let's hope this pays off.
Perfecto.
La Compro.
Excellent.
Your targetto, for favor.
Grazie.
Adios.
Adios.
And just like that.
In the last 24 hours, I've gone from moping around the flat to booking a one-way train the Malaga,
deciding to become a YouTuber and now owning a top-of-the-range vlogging camera.
Wow, big changes.
Right, time to get to the station.
Before I go, let's learn some Spanish phrases for talking about a big trip.
