Barcelona

Ola!  Esta bien?

Hehe.  Barca was great. 

Here’s where we stayed with 8 other people – 2 Canadians, 2 Americans, 1 German, and 3 unknowns.  The hostel was at the centre of everything that we didn’t have trouble retreating back to charge camera batteries, to pray, to rest for a while, etc.  With free breakfast and internet, the place was a bargain.  Would recommend Kabul Hostel anytime!

Main activities consisted of:

As you can see, there was a lot of eating.  And the best thing was, we only ate at the finest places.  We decided to go all out on food expenses since this was the one time to get the best of Spanish cuisine.  It was money well spent.   

Took loads of photos and more can be found on my friendster and facebook, if u are interested. 

To relatives and family friends who may be reading this and who may be concerned that I had gone with just the bf, it would be nice if this does not reach the Mother.  She knows that I’d gone to Barcelona.  The duo trip was not planned.  Five of our friends who had invited us on the trip had to un/fortunately cancel due to un/foreseen reasons.  We wouldn’t have gone if there was a refund policy on the flight tix.  So, if you could just…  Thanks!

All in all, it was a brilliant trip.  But Paris is still my favourite place to visit.  Sorry Sherot!!  I know u really wanted me to love Barca as much as u did.  hehe.  However, I do prefer the Spaniards to the French.  They’re way friendlier and definitely more welcoming than the French.  But they tend to stare at us, scarves-donned Asian women, a lot.  But if u give them your nicest smile, they’ll stop staring and will most definitely smile back.  They were probably guessing from which part of the world I’d come from.  Funny people. 

Another week to go before the next mini trip.  This time to Salzburg and Vienna – to meet Foy’s sister who’s representing UIA, along with 5 others, in the international mooting competition that’s being held at the Uni of Vienna.  Brilliant kid, that one. 

Arrrgghhh, can I just not do work and simply go on holidays all the time????Dammit.

What to do, two essays are waiting to be completed and I’m so avoiding them. 

Enjoy the rest of your holiday peeps!
