the Barcelona story

hey all my blog faithful (see it being singular!!!) ... sorry for not updating my blog in Barcelona. The same story at the hostel... shared computers with no way of uploading my pictures. Besides, the opening hours to the common room (where the computers are) were only opened at breakfast hours and after 5pm...

so... how was Barcelona? It was more like Paris... more cosmopolitan city as compared to Madrid. More people speak English or at least understand English. So it definitely easier to communicate there. We also see more asians and even Singaporeans (there were 3 of them staying in the same hostel as us).

The hostel we stayed in is centrally located... We felt like we were staying right at the Orchard belt! Imaging Cartier was our neighbour, Loewe was just next to it. Zara and Mango was just around the corner.


The most memorable places in Barcelona was Park Guell, La Sagrada Familia and La Ramblas...
Park Guell and La Sagrada Familia were the works of Architect Gaudi... He basically inspired the look of the whole Barcelona! His works were simply breath-taking. Don't think you can forget about his works once you see it! La Ramblas was a great place to stroll along. With lots of street performers and artists at work, you will never be bored walking down the long stretch of road.

Ate lots of Dunkin Donuts (yes... it was everywhere in Barcelona!) , tried the Paella (with Chicken, Cuttlefish and King Prawn) and yummy desserts like Flan (Creme of Caramel), Bread Pudding like dessert, very sweet melon! Will post yummy food pix when I get them from E!

P.S: Something strange happened... my postings were amended with some wierd text. so if you read some funny text that is so not me... It is NOT my writing!
