Barcelona..... Gracias....

Hey hey... i went for a 5 days 4 nights trip to Barcelona last week... let me share with you some of the photos.... :) it's a wonderful place.... everyone should go... :)

This is the scary alley to the apartment i stayed for four nights.... imagine it at night.... -_-" scary... so i would strongly suggest those ppl who plan to go barcelona... it would be best to spend bit more money to stay in a decent hotel.... But if u feel that u are very brave and dun mind taking the risk... the apartment that i stayed in was super nice with brand new IKEA furniture, well furnished kitchen and share your room with only one ppl.

This is called 'Paella' a traditional food of Spain... which is rice with seafood or meat... they taste quite nice... similar to fried rice... just that Paella rice is not being fried... and if u can see the cup above that pic with thick brown fluid... that's a the Spanish Hot Chocolate... amazingly delicious... so thick and so nice.... wow... yummy yummy...

This is La Sagrada Familia.... the landmark of Barcelona... designed by Gaudi... an extremely famous architect in Barcelona... why extremely... because apparently all the tourist attraction in Barcelona is designed by him....

This is a place called Park Guell... smart architectual design...

Some old friends from IMU... Koh Jun, Yin Hui, Jimmy

It would not be complete if go Barcelona without catching a football match... although i'm not a football fan... but i manage to watch this game between Barcelona Football Club and Celta with a little bit of finacial support from my fren... hehe... i met ronaldino... muahahaha...

Below are some random photos that i took in Barcelona.... any comment must tell me ya... :)

what would you do?

Today, as usual, i took the U6H bus to hospital.... Nothing exciting actually... just the same thing i do everyday... just that today Wan, my malaysian batchmate is also on the bus. So i sat in front of her after say hi to her. Then suddenly, she hit my back and the conversation go on....

Wan: Hey, look in front, there's a ten pound note on the floor in front next to the driver.....
Me: Wah.... yes... i untung 10 pound today......
Wan: No... go pick it up and give it to the driver.....
Me: Huh..??? ( wat the... )
(but i still go and pick it up and then pass it to the bus driver after making sure the 10 pound doesn't belongs to me... )
(the driver look at me shock... )
Driver: U pick it up on the floor?!?!
Me: Ya... (walk back to my seat... i think i saw the driver kept it into his own pocket)

At the next stop, Navin and Ming Keong heard the story and say: Walau... why you so stupid one... U can get a second hand tv with that 10 pound... mauhahahahaha....
Me: -_-''

Lesson of the day: what would you do if you were me.... ?

Hmmmmm...... I miss home....

There's a lot of german stall now on the highstreet around UK... i wonder why... same in Southampton... we have stores here selling sausages, beer, mushrooom, potatoes, miniatures... well, wat i wanted to share is.... yesterday... i was walking around there with ming keong and wei kiong wanting to look for something to eat....

ming keong: wah, i think i will get a sausage. james, u wan some?

(...so he left to buy the sausage...)

wei kiong: look at that stall selling potatoes and mushroom, look and smell nice... wah... some more so cheap.... 45p only for one whole plate...

(...me looking at the sign board showing : 'potato and mushroom for £.45'
thinking: wah.. ya hor... yes.. i want to try.. so cheap can try...)
me: okie... ya i want one plate also....
wei kiong: two plates of mushrooom and potatoes please
German man: alright.....
(...passing us two plates)
(...me and wei kiong each of us passing one pound to his left and right hand... )
(... german look at us confused.... )

wei kiong: ya, we pay seperately....
German: Ya, i know, but what do u wan me to do with this two pounds??
(... me confused...)
German: It's 4 pound 50 for one
(... me and wei kiong eyes open wide... wat??!?!)
me: but u written there £.45
German: where can u say the word 'p'.....
me and wei kiong: ......... (speechless)
(.... we all decided to pay him and leave... dun wan to create trouble and hope the food is worth it...)
