what do you think i should do? Magaluf, Alcudia, Barcelona?? i’m 18!!?

well i’m 18 from ireland i have always wanted to live in spain! so I always planned that as soon as i turned 18 i would move there myself. So i am just back from another great holiday with my family in mallorca and now even more determined to go and live out there or any part of spain really. But i’m going to spend all next summer there working to make sure i like it enough over there. So I put an add up on travel buddies website its a website were people who want to travel or work abroad can find people to go with them instead of going on their own. I said in the add that i was looking for someone to come with me to mallorca to look for some bar/waitressing work and accommodation. because my mother said she would rather me go with someone. I got an email back from a guy saying he would love to join me so i was delighted with that then another guy emailed me saying he was looking to go with someone too so all 3 of us decided to go together next summer. The first guy said he knows a guy who owns 2 bars over there a appartments so he’s able to get us work and accommodation so that was great i have everything sorted. The work and accommodation is in Magaluf were the 2 guys were hoping on going. I’ve never been so i don’t know what its like. Then i read and heard that its full of british people and no spanish people! I don’t mind british people but i wanted to go to a place where i can meet spanish people preferably spanish guys! lol and i heard its full of drunken teens too. The 2 guys i’m going with have been there before and love it, there mad into drinking all day and night clubs at night and out until like 5 in the morning! I like going out for a few drinks maybe 2 nights a week but not everyday. I have a feeling i won’t like magaluf. I think i’ll just stay in a few nights let the 2 guys go out and do my own thing i might even go out to palma some of the nights.
These 2 guys said they would definitely be interested in staying on over there like living there if they found winter work which is what i was planning but a different part of mallorca. But there more interested in staying on and finding work in magaluf. So i decided that when i finish the summer work at the end of august in magaluf that i’ll fly over to Barcelona and teach english to children which i heard there looking for a lot of fluent people to do particularly females so I sent out my application form. I think i will definietly like Barcelona i heard great things about it! and its a typical spanish town and i think ill like living there and make teaching english my carreer and it pays good too!
Also just a few weeks ago i got an email for a girl who would love me to go with her to mallorca to look for work and accommodation. She knows a spanish family that live in alcudia (which is more quieter and more spanish people out there) and is great friends with them, they said they will try sort out accomodation for her and maybe a job. I would definietly rather go to alcudia than magaluf its not as mad or british. But if i go to alcudia with her i’m not guaranteed work or accommodation like i am if i go to magaluf. Shes hoping on going over in june and coming home late august. but I wanted to go over around late march early april, which is when i’m going over with the 2 guys to magaluf. So i was thinking of going over to magaluf anyway and seeing how i get on with the work i have over there, and then in june while i’m over there i could meet that girl in alcudia and try get work with her then at least i’ll be only in magaluf for 2 months. Weither i go to magaluf or alcudia or both i still plan to go over to barcelona in september which is when the teaching job starts.
I don’t know what to! what do you think?

How do I pay balance of a Thomson holiday?

Probably reading question I sound like an idiot but I am not. As I stay part of the year in Mallorca I booked a med cruise only with Thomson from Palma in Jan and I now have a balance to pay. I have my booking confirmation etc and their telephone no on this. When you ‘phone the telephone number it advise you the Thomson Shop is now closed, gives an 0870 no to call. On calling this number you are advised to press 2 for extisting bookings and 1 for new bookings. On pressing 2 you are advised they no longer handle existing bookings. I redialed and pressed 1. After holding on considerably got through to someone who asked was there not another no anywhere on my confirmation, which there isn’t. She then said she would try and find out…..held on and on and she then said her system was really slow and she would ‘phone me back but she hasn’t. It’s not as if I can just pop in to a local travel agent who does Thomson Hols and ask if I can pay there, probably would be a bit of cheek anyway as I didn’t book through them. The address at top of confirmation with telephone number is obviously their Holiday Shop which they say is now closed so can’t post to there. This is trivial but annoying. Anyone else experienced this?

Please, help me with a couple of lines, pleease?

Hi,

I am writing a short text and English is not my native language. Please, check my text for mistakes, thanks:

“By 1919, thanks to the end of hostilities and after the death of his maternal grandmother, the Borges family went to Spain. In the beginning, they installed in Barcelona, and then in Palma de Mallorca. In this last city, Borges wrote two unpublished books: The Red Rhythms, praise poems for the Russian Revolution, and The Cards of the Coward, a tales book. In Madrid and Sevilla, participated from the Ultraist Literary Movement, which he later would head in Argentina and which later would influence in his first novel. He collaborated with poems and literary critique in magazines like Greece, Cervantes, and more. His first poem, Hymn to the sea, written in the Walt Whitman’s style, was published in the magazine Greece, on December 31, 1919.”
