Fast refresh: erasmus vigo help is over & that's what I call a good festival

Just for writing about something meanwhile I wait for the pics of the concert to put the review, I can say that I decided to log out the erasmus volunteer's program.
It was supposed that I would pick up at the airport the Czech girl on last friday. She had some health problems and didnt know if she could come. So I waited for having an answer if I should go or shouldnt go to the airport to pick her up. I wrote a mail to her asking but she didnt reply until today, and she told me she couldnt come and wrote to the international relations office of the Universidade de Vigo telling them that.
Of course she thought they would contact me for canceling my wellcoming to her.
Of course that bunch of lazy guys didnt tell me anything. I supposed if I hadnt an answer, she wouldnt come, but anyway, I think they wouldnt do a big effort if they write me a mail telling me "You dont need to pick her up, she is not coming". They told me day, hour and even number of flight, and if I dont ask her personally maybe I would be at the airport waiting like a stupid.
This is the drop that filled the glass about that organization for "helping" erasmus. I dont feel right now like assisting them anymore.
Seriouly, this is so different from what I imagined!
I bet they wont do a poll at the end of the academic year, like the organization in Tallinn, between the internationals for knowing what things they can improve, what was their impression about being erasmus in that city and so on... who cares? They are earning their money without doing so much, a way of living that people specially in Spain like quite a lot (quite known here the case of Government employees).. then who cares about doing activities/organize events/improve??? Nah!

In other news, I found one amazing concert in Germany. When could people make one like that in Spain??? NEVER!!

"Ragnarök Festival, Germany's biggest pagan metal festival, is going to celebrate its fifth anniversary in 2008. Once again organizer Ivo Raab has arranged a lineup of bands which is certain to please any pagan metal fan's desires. Compared to the previous year's edition the variety of the bands has expanded a lot and so we don't only get black and pagan metal, but also death metal with Unleashed and Killing Spree, power metal with Norther and Alestorm, gothic metal with Agalloch and Winterdome, symphonic metal with Haggard and Elexorien and of course once again lots of top-notch black, folk and viking metal bands. Two more highlights in the lineup certainly are Arkona, who are going to play their first concert beyond the Iron Curtain, and Vreid who will deliver a "special show" - no further details have been announced, but it is to be expected that they will play a set of mostly Windir material. And if the lineup wasn't great enough already one more headliner still is to be announced. The full lineup can be seen below. The festival is once again going to take place in the town hall of Lichtenfels in Northern Bavaria, located between Coburg and Bamberg. You can easily get there by car, train and plane."

Funny that of Norther like power metal hehe
Wow, I think it's really a worth festival, just for Agalloch, Haggard, Arkona, Norther, XIV Dark Centuries, Battlelore, Primordial, Menhir, Trollfest and Turisas... ousghsrrrg
