Estoy en Barçelona

Today in the morning I left Bregenz and flew from Zuerich in Swiss to Barcelona in only one and a half hour. Arrived here in Spain it´s not as hot as I thought. With the bus from the airport directly into the middle of the city and then orientating where I am. The first man I spoke to in Spanish was a policeman who explained me how to get to the youth hostel. Quickly I found it and also (like in Austria) everything seems to be so small and tiny - altough it is a 1,6 million inhabitants city - compared to Shanghai. But that could be an advantage because I´m getting familiar with a big city like Barcelona quickly. In the afternoon I went to a Chinese restaurant to have some lunch-dinner. The waiter explained me in Chinese how to get to some places and gave me his telephone number if I have any problems :) really nice... Then I went through the famous street "La Rembla" where all the tourists, shows and actors are. The heaven I visited and did my first ride with Barcelona subway. Wow they have like 10 lines here for 1,6 million people and Shanghai had just 4 lines for 16 million people... I drove to the famous Sagrada Familia church to have a look and walked through the streets till I found this nice Internet Bar. I will see where to go next... Barcelona is waiting :)

Ready...

Did the last purchases, enjoyed the Austrian flair and view, realized that hardly anything changed, packed the suitcase and had the last supper with my family ;)
I think I'm ready for tomorrow...

España, yo vengo!



2005/09/19 - 2006/06/03 Shanghai, China
2006/06/03 - 2006/06/07 Bregenz, Austria
2006/06/07 Barcelona, Spain

I came back from Shanghai the day before yesterday and I'm right now sitting in my room in Austria, preparing everything for going to Spain on Wednesday. Still I don't have any idea, neither about how long I will be in Spain nor where I will be after the training in Salou, which is near Barcelona.
Really looking forward to it :)
