So today was my second day at my internship at "Viajes Viloria". As of right now, I have spent 8 out of 8 hours on their website - although very cool to see what they do, it was a bit boring and my eyes were definitely a little crossed when I left! But the boss, Manuel, said (I think) that I would be doing translation from Spanish into English for brochures and such, so I think once I acquaint myself with the website and get to know a little bit more of what exactly they do, it will be a lot better. At first I thought I was going to be planning trips for people - excursions in the coastal area, El Camino, Exploring Santiago - which I wouldn't really be good at because a) I've only just gotten here (don't know much about the area/things to do/what to eat/yadda yadda yadda), b) my spanish is not really up to phone-talking standards, c) I can't plan a trip for myself, let alone someone else. So, in a way, I'm glad I'll be doing mostly translating :)
*Google translator and my Spanish-English dictionary are now my BEST friends.
If you want to check out Viajes Viloria a bit more and see what the company is about, here is the main website (there are a LOT of activities). The second website is written by a guy in my office, Andres (he writes "news" articles, tells you what is fun to do, etc.):
- www.galiciaincoming.com/es
- www.berenguela.com/es
But, I'm going out on the town tonight (with a bunch of people from my school) so I best be getting ready :)
Buenas noches <3
