Catalan milestones



I think I've finally reached another milestone with my Catalan. Today I was stopped in the supermarket for a quick (!) survey regarding the shop. And I managed it all in Catalan. Phew.

And on tuesday I stopped into the town hall to find out what the plans are for the house across from us that apparently has just been sold to a developer or something. No plans in place yes for the building, but I still find it ridiculous that they would be allowed to knock down an old, recently restored building to build modern flats. What's the point in having a 3 page list of rules that you can and can't do in the old part of town, when it appears to be perfectly okay to knock down history and rebuild characterless flats!?

Admittedly, some of the flats being built are actually not bad looking, but it's no replacement for a 200 year old building. Moan moan moan.
