Barcelona

I was browsing through my old CD and found this Alejandro Sanz album that I bought from barcelona many moons ago. 

Hmm.....

My memory of Barcelona is very unique...

I fell in love with Barcelona the moment I arrived. It felt like home and it was funny because at the time I was basically moving from places to places. What was home to me? i had no idea but Barcelona gave me the "warmth" that made me felt at ease immediately. 

People there were sexy and friendly, both men and women. 

Spanish culture is very rich and it is quite similar to ours in some way. Maybe that is why I felt at ease with their place and people. at one stage, I even thought that I was a latin in my previous life! *wink*

Oh! And their restaurants operate really late for dinner, probably around 9pm onwards. It is their culture to have late dinner. It is almost like supper to us. 

I have learnt to eat avocado when I was in Barcelona. Lee taught me to have avocado and eat with tea spoon as breakfast. Oh! And I really love the anchovy with bread. Yummy! I also love their "paia" which is equivalent to Italian risotto. Amazing.

I also remember I went to Barcelona Olympic stadium and I was fascinated by the enormous music fountain at the front. I had not seen anything like it before. (i still has not!) 

Hmm...

It was indeed a unique place for me. I went there because of two people, I almost lost my life there because of one of them, and I almost got married with another!  :)

Anyway, I love everything about it. I especially love their music~~ and here is the latest song from Alejandro Sanz~~
