Summer in Barcelona '12 -PART I-

Yay..finally got the mood to update my summer trip to Europe. Let's start with Barcelona, Spain, our first stop of the 18-days-long trip.

..recalling...
8/8/2012 & 9/8/2012 · day 1&2
after we had our dinner, limbeh drove us to the airport =D and it was a weekday, so we forgot that there'll be a jam and underestimated the time we needed to get to the airport. when there's a smoother traffic my dad went up to 160km/hr -.- which i didn't know until my sister told me in the plane. LOL

-SAFE- checked in and board a night flight to Barcelona El-Prat Airport (BCN). First time on Qatar Airways and the service is awesomopieces!

*faint a little* hahah. watched a few movies throughout the flight.

transit at Doha, Qatar. omg so hot man...-.- and i broke my watch there =(

and yeap i love to wear my pyjamas on board. hahahahahha 

arrived at Barcelona 7.40am in the morning local time.so pretty isn't it

and this is the custom stamp. thought it'll be a nicer one. LOL. the handsome custom spoke spanish to me then i was like "0.0...what?"

after deposited our luggage at the residence, we started our day in Barcelona! first stop was La Sagrada Familia

interior, exterior..although i'm not an artistic or architecture person, look at that carvings! gosh.

it's by Gaudi.

Entrance fee = 11€ (students)

passed by Casa Batllo, the colourful building, by Gaudi as well. Entrance fee is 16.30€ for students. :X

so we moved our steps to Casa Milà. Gaudi's also -.-

unique part of the building : the rooftop!

and in the buidling..

there's another floor --apartment. kinda interesting too..entrance fee 14€.

*it was soooooooooooooooooo HOT!!!!*

Park Güell. Gaudi

to get there, bus then climb up the slope -.-

modeling? No..saw a lady posing like a model when taking 10+pics. so we did it beside her =P

self-obsessed time =P 

the view from the park. can see the sea ..so pretty. hahahha

that's for our first day in Barcelona. Dinner was as simple as....instant noodles hahah oh ya we stayed in Melon District Residencia so there's a shared kitchen where u can cook and meet other residents ;)

And it's summer! we went back at 8pm, yet the sun was still hanging high like it's only 4pm. wooooo

10/8/2012 · day 3

so we left our room at 10. nahh its kinda early. since the sunset is arnd 9pm..HAHA

today, we're heading to Mercat St. Josep (market), and Barcelona Football Club Camp Nou.

took train to Catalunya square, so we had a few minutes there...

               fruits and food ~

 random sweet couple =P

 the street

since we're nearby so we just walk down the street towards the jetty. another tourist attraction, the Columbus Monument. random xia hahahh!

had our lunch! yesh PAELLA! must have in Barcelona. it's a kind of seafood rice, super nice! *like like like!*

ngaww i miss the rice!!! and my sister fell in love with Sangria immediately. this is probably so-called "Love at first taste" HAHAHHA

then we headed to FCB Camp Nou. after we got out from the train station, it looks like we're lost. because it's so....chilled. no one's there..and we hardly found the entrance for the stadium LOL. know what, we went to the stadium they have training instead of the stadium opened for public XD

 the ticket is 17€ for students, and 23€ for adults. so...remember to bring your student id or visa when you're visiting!!! even my TCSH student id is acceptable, which is already expired in June HAHAH

because my sister planned nothing after this camp nou, so we just spent like 3hrs in the stadium. sitting there, fooling around, and thinking whether to go to some bar or pub later at night. haha!

i say, football stadium is always the best place to meet handsome kia!!

there's one uncle sitting beside while we taking these pic haha he must be sweating. yea he should be, the weather is so hot!

back to melon district and got down off the street to hunt for food. simply sat down at any restaurant/bar we saw.

the Russian Salad. yummy tho, it's tuna based! 

the "4 Quesos" pizza.

when it was served, only we know queso means cheese. there's 4 kinds of cheeses in that pizza. Mozzarella, Cheddar, Queso Crema and Parmesano. omg i cannot tahan. seriously, especially the queso crema. -.-

And when eating, i looked around randomly, then one Chinese guy smiled and waved at me. i was like, err, do i know this guy? LOL then i waved back (god knows why). hahah! he came forward and asked if we can speak Mandarin. yea. then he just sat down. and started to talk to us. he said he met us yesterday, i mean, the day before at the three places we visited. Gaudi's places. LOL. at all three places like seriously? at first i thought he was just crapping. then when he said, "Your red backpack really caught my eyes, that's why i remember. You were wearing a white tee and have your fringes tied up rite?" oh god. how great would it be if i caught some other handsome's eyes. =P and yea, he talked alot. -___- the most random guy i've ever met, i swear. HAHHA one thing is, he's studying in Germany :( i'm so jealous!!

Uhm, guess i shall stop here for this post. there'll be Barcelona Part II then ! stay tune! =D
