In the Heart of Barcelona : Scenic Beauty


Barcelona has been the exciting place for its beach and beautiful scenery and panoramic view to visit. Indeed, the country is famous with its Gaudi and Las Ramblas.

It is only Barcelona where you can see the weirdest and coolest building designed by Gaudi and the swarming of people in the walking street of La Ramblas colon.  What made La Ramblas Colon colorful and fun is the different human statue wearing their costumes for tips if you want to have a picture with them. Good thing. Our accommodation was just along this famous street. There, you can find the two metro lines such as form the Drassanes and Liceu. You can also find the fruit and vegetables market along the Ramblas Colon called Mercat de la Boquerera. 

Ramblas colon for me is the exciting walking street at night. You will enjoy the pleasure looking at the paintings and smiles of the people who were being sketch by the artist here.  Nearby, you can find the Plaza Reial, which is a square in the Barri Gòtic of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It lies next to La Rambla and constitutes a well-known tourist attraction, especially at night.

What makes Barcelona famous is the Spanish- Catalan Architect named Antnoni Gaudi, who believed the importance of nature in the world of architecture. As you can see most of his designs has greatly influenced by forms of sea creatures, trees and it is reflected by the use of the curved constructions stones, twisted iron sculptures and organic-like forms.



Here are some examples of his projects:

Memories in Austria from June 7 to June 16

Day 1 in Vienna – June 7, 2012 Leaving Budapest makes me sad, but going to Vienna makes me so excited. Another cultural experience has been waiting for us. So, the day before we left the country, we made sure that we have the necessary foods for the trip and cash because we need to buy train ticket. We woke up early and started walking at 5am heading to the Train Station, Budapest- Keleti. We supposed to leave at 6:05 am; however, there was something wrong with the rail jet, so we were transferred to another train that left at 7:10. We reached in Wein Meilding station in Austria at 9: 58am. Of course, travelling is not really all fun. I felt so tired specially, you can’t sleep well and you have to wake up so early. This train or Railjet 60 is much faster than the train we had from Bekes while the train from Debeljaca to Becej is the slowest of all. This is really second to Bullet Train. They have comfortable seats and ventilations. They give us program to inform us about ...

Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey

Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque are the most beautiful mosque I've ever seen in my life. Looking at this makes me feel better after having a feeling of nausea of the 10-hour-trip. I felt relieved when we arrived safely in Istanbul, Turkey. I've realized that this gonna be the biggest trip ever. Ending the last leg of the Euro trip with a bang!!! Hagia Sophia Blue Mosque

Copenhagen: The Model of Happiness and Unity

June 26-27, 2012 Horrifying Check-up from Customs Reaching Copenhagen is not easy journey as what we usually had. We were in the middle of the road like for 10 hours. With in those hours, we were checked by the two group of customs from Germany and Denmark.  It was horrifying the fact that they have to check our passport one by one.  Both of these customs had different goals in mind. Like the Germans, they have to check for illegal immigrants. One of us was found that there was something wrong with his passport. He was asked to get off and not to continue the trip. Not only that, after we crossed the sea for 45 minutes in a Roll on Roll off ship, we were being checked by the Danish customs. It was quite horrifying because they were checking if your passport was real or not. Aside from that, since this Eurolines bus was from Amsterdam, they were also checking for stash or drugs.  Guess what! Four of them were asked to get off for full body scan ...
