Currently in Barcelona, Spain. :) It's 8:15pm and we're getting ready to have dinner soon. Everyone eats dinner here at 9-10:00pm! Then afterwards is when Barcelona becomes its reputable party city. Finally... What I've been waiting for!! :o Just kidding. =) Barcelona is such a beautiful city teeming with tourists and taxi drivers who all drive Hybrids and Mercedes... European taxi drivers are pretty legit. I guess it's because these nice cars were produced here. But shoot. I wouldn't mind being a taxi driver in Europe. We visited a popular la mercado in the morning and sampled some candies, organic dried fruits and home made mushroom tapas. Afterwards we took the bus tour all around Barcelona for a few hours. My cousins and I enjoyed the scenery sitting up on the open view top-deck. You could only imagine a bright colored bus filled with enthusiastic picture-taking Asians. Hehe. :) We then visited the Barcelona Spain soccer stadium. FCB!!! I could totally imagine a packed blue and red stadium thundering with proud Spaniards cheering for their champion team.
The most interesting thing here in Spain (in my opinion at least) is that they have something here called 'la siesta' which means 'nap'- an activity that is very commonplace in a lot of the work offices and agencies. Most places close from around 1-4pm for las fiestas!!! I mean las siestas... Even better. I thought those ended in preschool. I wish America had nap times :(
We've all been napping more than we should.
