Cafe & Research

Hi Hivers! It's your girl @shanshine again and this blog is about my day with my research mates in a cafe somewhere in Compostela.  Now that I'm in 3rd year college I now once again face research. Personally, I would say it's difficult but if you have the right person who will help you throughout the end, it's a big win! Our research proposals are near the corner that's why as a research group we decided to meet up at a cafe to continue our research session. We decided to meet up in C's Cafe - Shell Compostela.  The cafe was near where I live and only took 1 ride for me to reach there. However, to my classmates it was far and I ended up waiting for 30 minutes but I did enjoy the cafe while waiting for them. The C's Cafe located in Shell Compostela gives off an ambience that feels bright and airy. The place is decorated with plants and flowers, which makes it feel fresh and natural. The walls are mostly white added with furniture made with wood that incorporate the brown color and there are also other colors from the furniture just like this blue cabinet. When you want a seat with an ocean view all of the seats are most likely to have an ocean view making it more relaxing.      It's a very nice place for studying, working or just for sipping coffee with your friends and love ones. If you also prefer to feel the cold breeze of the ocean they have a balcony where you can also seat and relax.     The cafe is so high tech that their comfort room door knob has a passcode. Ensuring that all who can use it will buy something inside the cafe.   In terms of staff, they may not be perfect, but they're good at their job, which makes customers satisfied. When we ordered, they were focused on their work. Although they were busy and didn't answer our questions right away, it was clear they were trying to do their best. I ordered their cold caramel macchiato since it's my favorite and the taste was spectacular the price is also reasonable. While my classmates ordered their food too, some had empanada, hot meals, junk food and coffee.  By the time we are complete we then start our research, since not all of us have laptops and there are 9 of us there we divide the task to finish it early. Our research is about PWD in tourism and I'll just leave it like that because I'd want to share more once it's approved.   I was tasked to do the related studies, proof read some parts, recheck the references, format and do the appendixes. We did face struggles since we were lacking some parts of our research and one of our members didn't come and it was her part we still managed to find ways to solve the problem. Then when everything becomes a little clear we try to generate possible questions and answer them, while they were doing that I was focused on my group mates. We are not that close but we shared laughter and a little about ourselves making it comfortable to talk and share ideas. And after much time we finished the research.  Doing research in a cafe is very helpful. The new place and calm atmosphere made us think better and work together more easily. If you have a favorite cafe for studying or working, comment it down below! I will share more about our research adventures soon because this is just the start.
