Trip to Spain~

Spain- the 3rd country i visited since i first arrive here in Europe. First impression- hot, hot, hot! Can u imagine that the weather there is so much warmer than in Malaysia?? 38 degrees celcius!! higher than the temperature of our bodies! My hats off to the spaniards who lived there for years!

This Spain trip of mine was rily eventful. I have not visited any police station yet in Germany. However, I broke that record twice in Spain! Once in Madrid and once in Barcelona. The reason: pickpockets! Despite being a tourist paradise, Spain ( Madrid n Barcelona in particular), is notoriously famous for pickpocket incidents. 2 of my frens were unfortunately victims of such cases. So the visit to the police stations were unavoidable.

Anyway, the trip to Spain was a good trip indeed. It seems that im somehow talented in learning spanish cos i can somehow say some spanish words to the locals n they somehow understood wat i was trying to say. haha!

Breakfast b4 trip:




Yup, dat was my breakfast on the day i depart 4 Spain. Roti canai! It was nearly half a year since i tasted my last Roti canai. To my total amusement, i got the chance to do so even b4 my trip bek to Msia. Imagine a german making roti canai. How cool is that? My german housemate, after being challenged by us Malaysians, decided to make roti canai 4 us. Eventhough the curry was not spicy enuf like the ones in Msia, overall, it was a job well done. Salute to him! Even us Malaysians in Germany cant make stg like dat.

Barcelona:



Nou Camp- the home ground of FC Barcelona



We visited the souvenir shop at the stadium as well. Plenty of jerseys n stuff relating to Barcelona were sold there. Barcelona-Brand chips as well.



The famous Flamenco Dance of Spain. The way the dancers move their feet is faster than Ronaldo dribbling. =)



My favourite site in Barcelona: the musical fountain.



Sagrada Familia - The famous building by Gaudi.



Barceloneta Beach - after a long day of walking, the best way to relax is to lie down on the beach n enjoy the sea breeze... shioknya...



The Catedral



Dunno the name of this building.. :b paiseh..



Arc de Triompf

Madrid:



Santiago Bernabeu- home ground of FC Real Madrid- Beckham was here b4.



Plaza Mayor



Impressive...



Tango-ing with the statue in front of the Bullfight Arena



My shop!!

Below are pics which i dunno the name of it:





Food:



Baby octopus



Different types of Tapas ( Spanish Dim Sum )

After a long 5 day trip, one feeling u will get is " Tirednya!" Wat i wan2 do now is sleep, sleep, sleep......
