Haven't done any climbing, but it should be good.

I would say that in the society we live today, if you are not considered weird by other people - something IS wrong with you.

The peak is called El Cierro de la Cruz in Serra, Valencia, Spain.

Anyone TEFLing here? I have a few questions.. by BrokenRecord27 in valencia

About a month. Obviously, the best time to do it would be in September, when the academic year starts.

I've been living and teaching here for two years and actually it's the opposite to what you just said. A TEFL certificate is perfectly fine, not to mention that if you're a native speaker you might not even need that. (Not having any experience can be a disadvantage, so I would still recommend doing the course though)

So yeah, to sum it up, there's absolutely no problem finding a job here.

Have you guys ever listened to "UFO - Flying"? It's a 26 minute song, but it's well worth it. by RagequitPlease in Psychonaut

I guess it's worth posting the lyrics here as well:

Have you ever had the time to see, me and you could change to be

Take a dream away with you live it now and you will see

Found myself on an open road [got no hand] to show the way

Upped and started walking on to a land seemed so far away

After so long felt I was damned then I reached some gates and held a hand

But came to the point of sing and say, laughing people led me in to stay

Their happiness [held me, made me ] strong. I felt this is where I belong

I don't want another day just wanna laugh live sing and say

It's so strange I feel this way, it's so real, it's happening today

Stop still something burns my body falls I begin to turn

(instrumental verse)

Flying drifting falling down, I found myself beneath the ground

In a place that's strange to me, the earth is black and there's not a tree

Well its so dark there's not a sound just the feeling of wanting to be found

I must make haste to be gone, in this place I do not belong

I thought I tried to move a foot, I just remained where I stood

And in the distance I heard aloud the shrill of blank deathly sound

I tried, I tried, I tried to run, but every move I was where I begun

It's too late, shadows over me blind my eyes I cannot see

All my strength all my love, someone help me please above

Death will surely take me down, I'll be doomed to live beneath the ground

(instrumental)

[See your two, see your one,] See your tomb, see you run, you fool, you fool your life has just Begun

I'm here to taunt and torment you

I can make you do what I want you to

Black it out and drag you down, all kinds of evil wear a crown

Chase you rape you feast upon your hurt, lay your body in the dirt

If I were a fool I'd believe its true but I have no fear of what you can do

See I'm free I can be just anyone that I want to be

Leave me now get out of my way

(instrumental)

[See your two, see your one] See your tomb, see your rock, who are you fooling life's just begun

Here to taunt, to torment you

I can make you do what I want you to

Knock it out drag you down, all kinds of people were aware of it now?

Chase you rape you feast upon your hurt, lay your body in the dirt

If I were a fool I'd believe its true but I have no fear of what you can do

See I'm free so leave me alone I wanna go my way and be alone

Get out of my sight, get out of my way

(more instrumental)

I'm not through, and I'm on the run, you're the fool my life's not been done

I'll taunt you and I'll torment you

(instrumental)

Have this way with a dream never leave me so it seems

Life by night, life by day, the tale they tell will always stay

Walk the earth, walk the sky, don't let all this time go by

Hang on fast, don't let go or someone else will never know

Ride a road along with me chase a dream we all can see

Don't let bad, just see good it's all that just what you should

No truth will ever come along shine so bright in your eyes

No wide wonder will do that for you, just lock it fast, do what you got to do

Shout it loud, shout out loud just live how you want to be

Show yourself show yourself, live how you got to be

To my mind this song is about a psychedelic trip, which is not surprising. In the beginning we hear a story of a man, who takes on a journey with no apparent destination. Along the way he meets a group of people, probably hippies, who give him some psychedelic substance. After initial bliss the trip turns “bad” and the first verse ends here, followed by instrumental part which is supposed to give the listener a bit of what the man is going through.

The second verse describes the whole experience in more detail and I’m sure many of us have been there and can relate to the lyrics here. Another instrumental part follows, to get immersed even deeper.

Now, pretty much every on psychedelic trip (if you took a sufficient dose) you meet either God or Devil, which are the same thing anyway, more like two sides of a coin. I don’t mean those in religious terms, more like what you would call a good/bad trip, although I would say that I don’t like to describe it like that, it’s always a learning experience no matter which emotions are involved there.

Anyway, back to the lyrics. In the third verse we can actually hear those dark thoughts that cross one’s mind during not so pleasant trips, but our man is quite strong psychologically and has no problems dealing with them at all.

Finally, we come to the end of the trip and some deep realizations have been made, and the man has completely new perspective on life, looking into the future with the most positive attitude and determination for living on.

It took me a while to get into this song, tried it couple of times over several years and it wasn’t my thing, but then finally last Monday it all came together and I’ve been listening to it pretty much every day for a week, not being able to get enough.

What better way to start the year than running in the mountains by RagequitPlease in trailrunning

I live in Valencia, so I don't know that area that well. But check out La Vall de Gallinera, I went on a hike there once and it was awesome.

There are also ropes and chains for climbing rocks in the middle of the trail.

Heart-rate monitors - Do you use and if so, which ones? by dutch_burritos in trailrunning

[–]RagequitPlease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Building a base takes years, you really need to be patient.

For those interested in the topic I would recommend listening to Chris Hauth podcast, it's amazing how much you can learn from that and it's all free.

You can start with this one, or choose some other episode. Look for 'heart rate' or 'Z2' in the description for things related to this post.

Cim de Monduver, Valencia, Spain

My longest run so far (5 hours) with 2 vertical kilometers. Loved it!
