10 days of adventure

Next days at work were fun. Different people, some sales. Some bad weather and rain as well which made each day look very different from one another. Hopefully rain stops, because I had enough of it already. It is much more pleasant having a hot day.
On Sat a pool party, quite nice. Sun me and my housemates went to the White Club close to our house with some friends. My friends went crazy. I went as a promoter, because I was invited as a promoter to see what hey have in the offer and maybe recommend to some customers. The place was with not many people and 95% of them spoke only Spanish. Mon in the evening small trip to Cala Olivera which as a small quiet place good to relax. Wed met some nice people from the other boat company on the island which start work in a couple of days. It is called BeautifulPeople. In the evening opening of Sankeys part I were on the guestlist were people who sold a ticket today. I of course sold and in the evening visited it to meet up with friends. Thu very rainy and we finished early, but the evening as very nice and with some people from work we went for a IMS Grand Finale Festival at Dalt Vila were played dj's like Luciano, Pete Tong, Solomun, Sven Vath, Damian Lazarus & The Ancient Moons. Really nice concert. Later we headed to Sankeys opening party part II. Didn't planned to go, but everyone from work were there, so we ended up on the party with my manager and few colleagues which went to the festival. Got drunk that night. lol. Fri a walk and a drink with Migue in the evening. Sat (opening of Bora Bora) & Sun (Guy Gerber plaing in a beach club) decided to stay at home though. My workmates go out almost every night. lol

A week with plenty to tell of

On Wednesday I worked with a cool girl from Colombia. She is always in a good mood and it is fun to sell tickets with her. Daniele is perfect companion to work with. I enjoyed all day together. In the evening I went for a walk in the Dalt Villa, because Medieval Fair had started on the 7th. I had a short walk and I returned next day after work with my housemates. We ate a tasty potato with salad inside and sauces. It was really filling. We could visit there as well an art gallery where was a small exposition with very original pieces of art. A very interesting technique of doing pictures. The most interesting was a paper bag with cuts on the side and with a lamp inside. A shadow showed on the wall a face of Marlin Monroe! How cool was that :) Other pieces of art were very interesting too. We talked with the author and he explained to us meaning of his paintings.
On Saturday came time for a small shopping as it is a day off. I bought a nice new shorts and a T-shirt. Combine cool when worn together:) I am very happy from the purchase. Straight after that I went to the beach in Talamanca to get tanned. I lied on the beach and later went to see the city and the sea from the cliff. The view was stunning! Was definitely worth to go there:)
Came back home, quick shower and back to work as all workers needed to be at after party not later than 9:30pm. Cool people work with me, so it is always fun to see them. I was completely hungry after a long day, so I enjoyed especially the BBQ.
Sunday and Monday at work with hopes to go on a boat on Tuesday, but we sold out all spaces and noone could go on board. Anyway we had some fun on pre-party by the pool and took an unforgettable picture - workmates together.
Champions League in the evening brought some relax. The big final soon. Go Juventus!

In the meantime a lot of new people arrived to work for the company. Last two days with new people. First with Koko, but he had some training already and today with a completely new Brazilian. What a crazy day. The girl was on fire instead to follow what I tell her. Anyway, when she learn she may be a good seller.

First boat party

Finally an opening day! All people were gathering in the Hostal, but me and a couple of friends - Sascha & Dominika - went straight to the boat as the boat place is just 5 minutes walk from my house. We bought some hierbas ibicencas to start with and later we continued to drink with a crowd on the boat. Some beer and plenty of sangria, so when we made stop close to Formentera I was already quite drunk. Music and views were cool, so it was a pleasant time. Dancing with friends, meeting new people. One famous jockey from Pisa, Italy was on the boat. I have pictures, but he prefered they remain unpublished;) On the way back more dancing, more music and this time drinks like Sex on the beach & Mojito. After the boat we headed to my house with Byron to have some rest, because at 9pm second part starts. Small lunch and at 8pm we headed to the Sant Jordi house where were our work colleagues with whom we went to the Hostal CDLN to eat and drink some more. Some beef and chicken made me feel better and with that some jagermeister and rum. Music was worse in that part of the party... Our resident DJ played. But the rest was perfect. People, atmosphere, alcohol. At midnight all finished and we meet with Miguel and went home to sleep. We tried to go somewhere to have a beer together, but all places were closed. All in all it was a good day.

First days at work

First day at work! We met at our company Hostal. In total arrived 8 people for a first training. Paul and Okan welcomed us kindly and the first mentioned explained everything what we should know about the company. We get to know each other a little. I met the nice and friendly man Yannick. On Wednesday was another meeting and we carried on training. This time we practised our speech with people. We even made a draft, so we have like a standard pattern ready, but it was not until Thursday that we started to work on the beach. We were grouped in pairs and the first one for me was Matt from England. Typical English lad with a funny mustache in a Salvador Dali style. haha He is a nice person, but as he hasn't been trained he was not prepared to explain the product which we were selling - a boat party, trip to Formentera, pool party and BBQ. After work Yannick invited me to their apartment and we were chilling there with other workers. We decided to do a BBQ and it was here where I for the first time tried Hierbas Ibicencas. They are delicious! Many of my friend set off to Bora Bora Beach Club late evening and I headed home. On Friday another team and another opportunities. This time I was assigned to Deny. He was in Ibiza last summer for a month, so it was nice and easy to work with him, but we haven't sold any tickets as it was the 1st of May. On the beach were a lot of Spanish enjoying a day off, Erasmus students who came for a few days to enjoy themselves and noone else who would be leaving after Sunday. At least we were invited for a party to jet apartments by Erasmus students :)))
We played cards, drunk sangria and later a lot of people came to the apartment and everyone started to drink more and dance and sing. We painted our faces and all of them headed to Space. Me and my friend went home as we had work the next day. Anyway, was fun to party with all the Erasmus. A lot of nice people there.
On Saturday I worked with Fauve. We sold an amazing amount of tickets, 11 of them, which gave us a very good salary in the end of the day. Top score so far! After work we were asked by our manager to load all equipment and all stuff necessary on a boat. Most of us agreed, however we didn't expect it would take us all evening to do that. We've finished after 8pm, and the shift finished at 5pm... Luckily enough I managed to do something in the late evening. I went with my friend to some religious meeting. They meet and sing songs, play guitar, talk and pray. The last one is not something that I do every day, but I respect people who do that. All in all it is always good to meet some people and see how they live.
Sunday on the beach I spent with Daniele (her first name is something else, but it is unfortunately very difficult to remember). The day was very calm, but we managed to sell few tickets. Happy times. In the evening I went for a walk on my local beach to relax and watch the moon. I met there one of my managers enjoying his time with a 5 years old daughter and his ex who live in Belgium. Really nice people and great that have time to spend with their child like family.
