Barcelona


now that´s what im talking about, a bit of sunshine!

Barcelona is a vibrant metropolitan with so much to see and so much to do...i arrived here in the afternoon and was immediately slapped with the integrated underground and railway map; i dare say that the metro here is even more complicated than the london underground...

first of all, their public transportation is not THAT integrated, i got lost so many times trying to get from the TMB to the FGC rail (think of our Star and Putra lines), their connecting stations are not CONNECTED at all, you have to get out of the underground, walk on the street for a couple of blocks and get into another underground station, in the same area...

and no, the spaniards speak either very little or no english at all...ive learned to communicate with them in broken spanish along with lotsa hand gestures, it is kinda fun...the people are friendly and eager to help, they will go all out in bringing you to your destination even if it means they are getting out of their way...now u know why i love them so much...

im staying in a hostel on top of the mountain in the middle of a national park, it is still in zone 1 in barcelona but you get away from the city buzz at night, and you are also rewarded with a glorious view of central Barcelona...

Been walking around rather than taking the underground because that´s how you get to explore the city (and to save money, of course). Their buildings are very unique and lotsa them are inspired by Gaudi, that include the infamous Sagradia Familia and La Cathedral...

will post some pictures later...
