Nightlife in Barcelona
Posted on: April 11, 2011
Whether it be clubbing at Otto Zutz for Loco Lunes on a Monday night or Broadbar on Wednesday, the nightlife in Barcelona is going off every single night of the week running into the weekends. I have never seen anything like it before in my life and it never seems to get old. Each club has a different feel and vibe, but a good time sums up them all!
Port Olympico is an area along the beach, including a strip of clubs beachside as well as other bars, restaurants and shops. Some of the most popular clubs in Barcelona are to be found along the beach. Shoko, Opium Mar and CDLC are some of my favorites all lined up next to one another, which makes it easy to hop from one to the next. 
Sutton is another one of my favorites and has a much more European feel to it. If you are looking to do something different than all of the rest of the American abroad students, I suggest trying Sutton out on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday night.
The networking and promoting for abroad students in Barcelona is by far the best out there. There is a never a night that you do not know what is going on and they are always going out of their way for us to be having the time of our life. It will be hard to adapt back to the nightlife back in America after living in Barcelona for months and dancing to the great music all night long until the sun comes up.
Podcasting
Posted on: April 11, 2011
The origins of podcasting can be traced back to early 2004. With the benefit of hindsight, MP3 players, like Apples Ipod in many pockets, audio production software cheap or free, and web blogging have become an established part of the internet.
The advantages of podcasting is that you can listen to the shows when you want, where you want and as you want because they are portable. It also allows individuals to publish radioshows that interested listeners can subscribe to. Anyone can decide how to consume the product, visit the podcaster webpage, listen from the web (streaming), podcast manual download and/or automatic download (RSS).
With podcasting, now people can automatically receive new shows, without having to go to a specific site to download it from there. Podcasts are available to subscribe to on I-tunes, podcastalley.com and more!
