BARCELONA

BARCELONA!

Yep finally blogging about this. I keep hearing Arlin's voice: "Have you blogged about Spain yet? Have you blogged yet?" Well I'm finally doing it now :p

So yeah Arlin and I were there for 4 days last week and we had the best time ever! Firstly it was all nice and warm and then the shopping was great and the people were friendly and it was easy to get around and have i mentioned how great the shopping was and on top of all that the guys were absolutely gorgeous. What more can a girl ask for? :)

So here are some pics we took at the airport when we first arrived.

Barcelona's like the capital of Catalonia (an autonomous community in the kingdom of Spain, source wikipedia) and the official languages there are Catalan and Spanish so everywhere we went there were signs in both languages.


Mon Bus! Haha our favourite bus! 4 of these mon buses came while we were waiting for our hotel shuttle bus. The driver of this particular mon bus was so damn cute! Too bad he doesn't show in this pic.





And we also checked out the taxis. They're actually a lot like the ones back home in Singapore and not too pricey for European standards (compared to like Sweden and Holland) but the only difference was that the taxi drivers were hot, young Spanish guys!



Since our hotel was close to the airport but kinda far from the city centre, Arlin and I had to learn how to take the public transportation. We love the Metro, a slightly more complicated version of the MRT.
This was the stop closest to our hotel: Hospital de Bellvitge.
And here's a map of the Metro system and the different train lines.
