Another day, another weird building. More Gaudí, more wow.

La Mami is here so we’re doing all the must-see places this week. Barcelona is a neverending source of interestingness and today the weather is fantastic! Win!
Insane.
Live from La Sagrada Familia. Details that take your breath away. Wow.
Simbal project – Barcelona lovin’
Went to a charity cocktail party hosted by my friend today. It started with sushi, wine and mini muffins but eventually the place turned into a club and I stayed to dance for a while which was a lot of fun. Now I really need to sleep but I’ll write more about the project soon, it’s a very nice idea. Goodnight.
La Metamorfosis
I found Kafka (The Metamorphosis, 1915) in Spanish in the bookshelf of my new apartment and I decided to give it a try. So far it has been quite confusing but also amusing and I’m still hanging in there.
I love big bookshelves filled with books left behind by random people and I always look for them all over when travelling. Now, the fact of actually having one, filled with gems I always wanted to read – in the language I want to practice, in my own livingroom is really just another reason for not wanting to leave this magical city.
I love the fact that the choices I need to make now all are realities I really look forward to engage in. Now it’s just about deciding what alternatives I actually have and choosing the most exciting and fruitful one and see to which other places and alternatives it takes me.
I don’t agree when people tell me that I’m lucky to be encountering new opportunities all the time. I am thankful and happy about having the possibility to travel and move and search, but there are always alternatives, possibilities and choices. And with the risk of sounding pretentious, I do want to state that it is a fact that is general for most people, and that you just need to choose to look for them and dare to jump on that moving train when it passes by instead of letting life get in your way. If you enjoy change, that is. Change and development and new experiences.
Salsa!
My body loves what music does to it.
Skype
Thank you Skype for letting me keep in touch with my darlings <3
Chupa Chups!
Did you kids know that the lollipop company Chupa Chups was founded by a man from Catalunya and that the logo was designed by Salvador Dalí? The name comes from the spanish verb ‘chupar’ which means ‘to suck’. I had no idea, Spain is everywhere!
Luxury
Being able to stay in bed until 9 o’clock when class starts 9.30 is one of those daily details I really appreciate. Good morning!
Street art
The decoration on my little street changes every day. These tiny details are a perfect way of keeping my mind on a safe distance away from boring routines and patterns. There’s always something new to appreciate even when passing by the same walls four times daily, the people who entertain themselves with this kind of art seem to be very ambitious and consistent here in Barcelona. I’m not kidding when saying that the paintings on the streets I pass change a couple of times daily.
Basically, I love this city and its randomness.
