~home sweet home~

Finally I'm back home again... The feel good factor has been looming around me for the past few days. Although not as many friends left in this little small town, I'm glad to be back. Especially all the things that I never had the chance to do elsewhere, like driving, hanging out with friends in coffee shop and heavy-duty shopping. Well, let's hope this holiday would be an unforgettable one, mmm... only if it's in a positive way though.

Léo’s cum Toulouse cum airbus

Before my Barcelona trip, I made my first visit to a French friend, Léo’s house. It was situated not too far away from Toulouse, something like a French ‘kampung’. His parents were so friendly that everyone felt at home right away. I was happy to have Paul, Mah and Tuan as company to share this beautiful experience. During these few days, we kind of let the time pass, just relaxing, playing ping pong, basketball, tennis, weightlifting and reading BDs (Lanfeust). We enjoyed ourselves with good food such as barbeque (I personally loved the magret de canard the most), crêpes, cassoulet… One day trip to Toulouse was quite interesting :P (at least the redness of the city caught my attention). Unfortunately I did not take any photos.

The most exciting part was the visit to airbus as we had a chance to see how things are done the airbus way. Not to brag, but we went under the planes, touched the planes, hugged the planes, kissed the planes, we even slept with the planes… ZzZzZz… Well, of course the hugging, kissing and sleeping part = nonsense. Anyhow, it was an ideal chance to open our eyes and understand how proud it is to be able to produce such a marvel.

I place a photo of a view of La Rambla for this post.

p/s: the photo has nothing to do with the content. Don’t be tricked.

Till then, signing off, it’s the end of the holiday.

~Barcelona in love~

Two weeks of spring break is finally nearing an end. I would pretty much say I spent one of my best holidays this time around. Why? because I enjoyed it… duh… OK I traveled to Barcelona and to my utter surprise; I totally fell in love… unfortunately not with a girl, but with the city itself. Sigh, so disappointed…

Anyway, I have no intention to go list my whole journey in detail, so here goes some interesting and unforgettable stuff during my trip:

-La Rambla, the most happening street in Barcelona, there’s just so many entertainers along the stretch of the street.
-Best food? Paella, Tapas, Seafood
-Sagrada Familia is the most amazing piece of art in the city of Barcelona.
-Gaudi is one of the most creative architects, notably with Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, Casa Batllo and La Pedreda under his name.
-It was a Champion’s League semi-finals week, between Liverpool-Chelsea, and Barca-ManU.
-Crossing path with Barca FC players (Henry, Thuram, Abidal, Marquez, Gudjohnsen) was a real luck.
-It’s a city where you find everything: beach, mountains, parks, cool architectures, interesting night life, good food, hot chicks, etc, etc.

Thanks to my travel-mates, CK and Siva for making this trip so enjoyable.

Till then, signing off, still loving my holiday trip.
