hola! It's time for my annual post! spain was chun! Miss it already. I miss siesta time! And oh my god the fooooood. Hmm very lazy to blog le. I will attempt a super long-winded blog. Or at least lots of pics.
So we arrived in spain after having lounged about for ages in the airport waiting for our super delayed flight to finally take off. Just in time for their siesta time. Or nap time. Everyone’s told us how lovely spain is, good food, sunny weather, friendly people, so yeah we were excited to say the least. But we landed in Barcelona and it was raining, n everything looked dark, gloomy and very very british. Sigh. Can’t escape from English weather.
We decided to do some shopping since it was too late in the day and we were too tired to do any sightseeing. But there’s always enough energy to shop! And hai fon we were thinking of u too. So kind right, we thought we’d get the shopping out of the way before u arrived. So off we go, all semangat n excited. So there we are, happily walking into the metro station, when suddenly some guy starts shouting really loudly at us.. kargar kargar! (or something like that). I knew that was Spanish for shit, or something along those lines. There u go- always learn the important phrases right? So we turn around, all suspicious, cos apparently in spain there’s lots of ppl trying to con you left, right and center. So he’s still shouting, and pointing at Lina’s back. And suprise surprise! There's some brown gooey stuff splattered right smack in the middle of her back. On her nice sort-of-new leather jacket summore! So there we were, completely shocked and wondering who or what had done this to us, when I suddenly realize this guy is STILL shouting. And this time he’s pointing at MY back. Wat the hell. So yes, we both got shat on. On our first day in spain. Whee. Ok it wasn’t shit, but we still don’t know wat the hell it was and really, you wouldn’t want to get too close to that brown chocolately goodness. We were both completely pissed off and traumatised because it was obviously not accidental. Methinks it was some dodgy looking guy who was following us around. So that was our happy introduction to spain. We spent the next couple of hours wandering around, trying to shop but still feeling very traumatised! So after a measly attempt at shopping, we decided to grab some food n head back. Pub crawl awaits!
We joined a pub crawl organised by the backpackers hostel we were staying in. Fun. But that’s another story for another day! Suffice to say it was great but it really is NOT a good idea to get smashed on the first day of your holiday!
hmm no pics fr our first day. too traumatised i think! heh
So we get up bright and early the nezt morning and Lina, o boozy one, has a throbbing hangover. And we’re all set for a full day of sightseeing. Haha no more pubcrawls next time, or at least not until our very last day! So we wander around the city, sight seeing. And also hunting for panadol, which in the end we managed to get from some random shop owner. He actually dug it out of his own pocket , in a dodgy looking packet summore. Oh and we had churros! Spanish donuts, which were gooood.
Damn im tired already. How to type a kecoh post. Okla the rest will be in pics!
This is where we had the best paella ever! according to hai fon it's like fried rice. Sigh. unsophisticated taste buds..

Lina was moved to tears by the amazing food..
fantastic squid ink paella! So good we couldn't even hold off long enough to take a photo!
Baja hitam visits Sagrada Familia, Barcelona's famous church-in-progress. Still not finished after god knows how long!
Okok lina don't kill me. I'l put up a nicer pic. 
So we took a lift all the way up to one of the towers of the Sagrada Familia n this is wat we found. Fruits!? Hmm Gaudi must have been really constipated when he designed this. Or just a huge fruit fan?
Then we walked down the stairs. Lots n lots n lots of stairs. Dizzyfy-ing
Hai fon drinking sangria. which apparently makes the world go round. So funny he was super high. Dammit should SO have taken a video.Raving on and on. i quote: Sangria is the NECTAR of LIFE! mann this is THE SHITS!
hahaha 
As for me n lina, we were just ever so slightly red..
Ooh n after this we had the most amazing seafood platter ever near the beach. It was a mountain. but devoured so quickly that no pics were taken!
We flew off to madrid next. Where some ppl were shamelessly camwhoring n trying to act cute. tsk tsk
Zara in madrid is so high class that they even have an orchestra outside!
And we went to some church where spanish royalty go. This is wat you SHOULD do when u step into a church:
And this is wat u shouldn't do!
In some square in Madrid where they used to perform executions, n there used to be some market here as well. How random.
This guy was painting beautiful pictures, using spray paint only! takes grafitti art to a whole new level!
After pretending to be all arty-farty n admiring all the artwork in museo de prado, it was time for MORE sangria! We were pretty much dying from hunger trying to find the best place to eat, cos spanish ppl don't eat till late, so it was almost 9 n most of the restaurants hadn't even opened! So we stumbled across this place. With the greatest tasting sangria ever!
Full n happy!
And it was on to a jazz club..
Or two..
Ask hai fon n he can tell u a farny story abt the first jazz club we went to! haha damn blur!! Both places were great but had completely different vibes, the first one was more of a piano n singing type. The woman in the pic had a super sexay husky voice,The second place we went to was soo good !it was packed. Amazing atmosphere n good music. Was one of those smoky dimly lit places. Loved loved loved it! N the black guy on the left in the pic was super funny. So semangat n bopping his head all the way thru.
Camwhoring on the streets of madrid=fail
Some other random pics..
Final night in madrid, we decided to go see this fountain that is apparently soo famous n so fantastically beautiful that u can feel emo just looking at it. Well we went there. N it was closed. Apparently the season hadn't started yet, So no light show+music+showers of water for us. So Mr lim hai fon, being the classy classy guy that he is, took a piss in it. Malaysia boleh!
The last day hai fon had left. so it was full on shopping back in barcelona. And also a midnight tapas feast followed by clubbing, which was mainly spent fending off sleazy spanish men competing for the cheesiest pick up lines..
u wanna try spanish men? Oh ur so pretty i love ur smile. Ur so beautiful, if i look at u i'll fall in love with u! sorry! i've fallen in love wif u..
wah. vomit blood.
okla. I think this is long enuf. Despite the shitting n all, it was a really incredible trip. Lots of unforgettable memories, Just cant be arsed to type them all here. Still having withdrawal symptoms! Wish all of u were here! wud have made so much more fun!!
On a side note, you know you need a haircut when random drunk dudes mistake u for elvis. Sigh.
