Enchanted Barcelona

                        24- 26 September 2009
We arrived at 06.40 pm at barcelona, and it wasnt dark yet. the sun still shining. It looks like afternoon. i still felt strange even i knew that in summer and autumn noon is longer than night, and also converse for winter and spring. night is longer than noon. I saw many sails near the dock. many many of them. its remind me with Auckland. Well, after we finish look around we decide to see the market which near the restaurant. The market was selling many kind of souvenirs. bags, t-shirt, hats, glasses, brachelets, earrings, neklace, shoes, fan, key hanger, keychains, handphone chains, etc. My grandma bought one for my cousin, Angel. She bought a pretty bag for her. I didnt buy anything yet. Theres nothing interest me, maybe because the price was expensive and also all of them re made in China. Its not suprising actually, because we all know that almost everything all around the world are made in China. Even you go to Europe, United States. So its kinda hard to see the local brand. fiuuuhh.. In China, the manufacture cost is cheap, so all country around the world prefer make all things in China. But i hope the material that they used re not from China. 
Because its well-known that phone or things that made in China was eazily broke. 
and yeah, after we finish shopping around we were going to the chinese restaurant. The foods was fine, some re yummy. very delicate.
Then we back to the hotel. 

The hotel's name is Tryp Aeropuerto.
This hotel was sooo unique. its modern but inside the hotel was like flats with the simply elegant type. i cant describe it. lols. you must check it out to MR. Google. :P
the hotel was nice, and the interior was nice either. i love the room, its not big but really convenient to stay in. ;)

The next day, we're having breakfast and i loveeeee the breakfast there.
perhaps it just an usual breakfast, but it was very tasty and there's nutella and cream cheese!!! also theres koko crunch and  honey stars and also there were many kinds of honey with the cute packaging. XD i love the hot chocolate there, i tried the milk too. and the bread was so soft and delicate, the meats so fresh and the fruits either. ^^
But when we're out from there, i look someone from another group that caught by the security there that she bring food in her bag. The guard took all of the foods and she get fined. i felt pity and embarassed at the same time. it because the woman is from my country but i knew that she didnt mean to took all of the foods. okay then.

We're going to Estadi Stadium where the olympic 1992 opening and closing ceremony held. Estadi Stadium is located at the Monjuich Hill Region. Then we went to FC Barcelona. We went there because many request from the boys, like my brother and his friends. :P FC Barcelona is a sport club best known worldwide for its football team, three times winner of the UEFA Champions League. The place is so hugeee, and there are restaurants and also the souvenirs market there. my brother and his friends bought t-shirt for themself. and i just enjoy taking pictures. Personally i dont like football that much. 

then, we're going to Paseo De Gracia Street, its an elite regional where there are many antique building that made by Antonio Gaudi, like: Casa Mila and Casa Batlo. I love the structure and the details of the buildings, They are so fabolous, and shimmering like so many statues that glowing everywhere. The guide was telling much about this architecture and why Gaudi made it. The guide's name is Anna, she's tiny, blonde and fun! We're taking pictures everywhere, then we re going to the street where there are many markets there. all of the branded market (for the middle class) like Zara, Mango, Nav Nav, etc.The price is cheaper than in Indonesia, so better buy there. Mast of the clothes re made in China(obviously) and Maroco. There are also many cafe and bars, and also gelatto. So interesting! :D

we found many beggar there, but not the usual beggar that you can found in Indonesia. 
Beggar here were wonderful! Their appearance were very unusual and unique, like princess, stone, monster, etc. They acted too! Many tourists take pictures with them. They were so excited! Well, they so creative! and at least they try hard to entertain us, not just begging like the most people in my country do.

Then, we re going to Mc.D.
And you know whats going on after that? I cant see the stairs there, then i just walking like theres nothing in front of me, and it made me fall and my leg was sprain, and its very hurt. luckily theres guard who saw me and help me, after that my brother and my grandma help to massage my leg. OMG, it was horrible.

But yeah, then we're going home and having dinner at Chinese Restaurant. again.
Not tasty, but fine. I wasnt into food at that time, because my leg was very hurt. like the pain was very horrible.

We back hotel. fiuhhh.finally.
anyway, we re stay for 2 nightsl ^^V
