A Taste of Mediterranean

So Here it goes,
my spain trip 2010.

First of all let me... HOLLLLLLLLLLY CRAP THOSE DUTCH IMMIGRATION OFFICERS ARE HOT.
yea, I just HAD TO spit it out. they are amazingly good looking, so may I remind you my ladies, when you enter europe, take a way through schiphol airport in amsterdam!
and the easiest way to do that is take KLM ;)
Omg, free advertisement right there for KLM.
NICE


So as I arrived in Barcelona you have no idea how good I felt.
The weather was a whole lot better than the humid Taipei, and everything was just one word, chill. And I missed outdoor cafes! they really dont have a whole lota that in Taipei, it's just way too hot I guess?
Well except when I got to the city center and man, plaza catalunya was packed with tourists! uhm good looking european tourists? enuf said.
I had to admit though that it was a little bit frustrating at first because I couldn't find another asian on the street except for of course, my sister and my dad.


The next few days were just apartment hunting/dealing with banks/running around like a...tourist.
I'll write a new post for some of the tourist spots I went to, with photos! yay
I didn't exactly get to see as much as I planned to, but that's enough for me.


Right now I just want to say,
Barcelona is an amazing place, and I really can assume that everywhere else in Spain is as beautiful as it is.
The food and drinks are awesome..
Actually, if we focused on drinks here, these two "beverages" are the ones that kept me alive, um replacing water...*this is very bad, please dont do something like that in the middle of summer.

This is something called "Horchata" which tastes like almond/milk/cinnamon, I gotta say it sounds weird but I loved it!


and here's something you all know I love! Every meal, its just complimentary. jk!

back to the point, the people are passionate and friendly as they say in books,
architecture is full of creativity and originality,
the weather is pretty much suitable for anything,
and HOW COULD I FORGET ABOUT THE SHOPPING?! european shopping ftfw. I HAVE TO GO BACK. I still didn't get those H&M boots :'( which I would very much like to cry about right now.



I am definitely going back, to that beautiful city Barcelona. Sometime in the future when I'm earning more dough. haha


NEXT DESTINATION (hopefully) is COSTA DEL SOL, ANDALUCIA.





Ciao.
