Heeeeyy

Hey guys, God i´ve missed you. I am talking to you right now from a cafe in Barca. I can´t even begin to explain and describe to you how UNBELIEVABLY amazing it is. I mean there is sooo much to write about, so much to tell, and soo little time to do so

First of all i would like to thank you Noora for keeping the blog alive, and to the rooster, Thanx for commenting. well enough about you guys and lets talk about me lol. So i´ve been here for almost 5 days, and so far it has been an incredible experience. On our first day, we took a tour bus to visit all the sites Before this i knew Barcelona held many historical must see sites, but i had no idea it had this many. I was literally in the center of all those art works that made history. Ofcourse i´m talking about the history of design and Architecture. I can understand if you guys cant understand my excitment, but hell, i witnessed them with my own eyes, appreciated them, and for the first time, understood its power. Barca holds the masterpieces of great architects, the pioneers of modern Achitecture. Works of the Architects Antonio Gaudi, Calatrava, Meis Van De Rohe, Norman Foster( One of my very favorites), Frank Gehry, and soo many more i cant even remember. I would love to write about this in much detail, but am really in a hurry. Well i cant leave out this though, We visited the Sagrada Familia, by Antonio Gaudi. For those of you who dont know about it, its the church built in the late 19th century and is yet to be completed. The minute my eyes fell on the church, i just stood there in AWE. The church was so Unbelievably huge that i felt insignificant and tiny. The work done on the church is beyond human capabilites, i mean the carvings, the detailing, is scary really. More about the architecture works when i come back.

Other than that, we visited the great Barca stadium. The building itself is kind of
of old, but still very beautiful. The whole city is beautiful, i mean their architecture the building´s facades, the materials, it just gives Barca a unique signiture. In addition, we went to the great Catalunya Plaze, were hundreds maybe even thousands of people come every day to work, relax, or shop. Its more of a Boulevard actually. Its really incredible to see how people from all over the world, and when i say all over the world i mean Europe mostly lol, come together.

The shopping was ok i guess, i mean i havent liked anything in particular, because most of their shops are available back at home. And to be honest with you, because i have to get this out of my system, people act weird around arabs. I wear a sheila, and it makes them uncomfortable i guess. I might be imagining this, but i could´ve sworn that kid stood infront of me, took a second look and gave me that disgusting look. Seriously no kidding. I couldnt care really, i just laugh it off.

Well in about two hours our ride is coming to pick us up. We´re taking the Cruise today. I am really excited about that. Lets just hope i meet a ¨Jack¨ there. Oh which reminds me, the guys here are FIIINNEEEEEEE. Am talking really tall, tanned, well build, hazel eyes fine. And this is something i noticed too, everyone here has a funky hair style. They are really stylish here, something i didnt find in the states.

Anyways guys i have to go now. i would love to stay and chat, but my dad is kinda calling me lol. I will try to post something soon. Please excuse any spelling or grammer mistakes, i didnt have time to proof read. Take care all.

Well, well, well.

A cruise in the Mediterranean while the world is going crazy. Absolutely delectable.

I hope you have loads and loads of inner and outer fun, if you catch my draft.

Heeey .. yeah i do feel guilty about that. U know in spain all we had was Al-Jazeera, everything was in spanish so i pretty much had it on all the time. But come on, i too deserve some fun. Really the cruise is UNBELIEVABLE. Am posting from the coast of Italy. Details in another post, the connection is too weak.
