Well, well, well. It's me now doing a quick blog entry about Barcelona right down from our hotel's "Cyber Corner" (a room filled with a pre-historic PCs connected to ISDN). We just came down here with Rosyna today and ripped Ethernet cables from these PCs to use in our powerbooks. Finally, I can check email -- due to the fact I am barely subscribed to any mailing lists, I only had 400-something pending messages; only 3 were actually addressed to me, all the reset were mailing lists and spam. How sad.
Anyway, about this place -- it is quite nice, warm, and peaceful. At least its warm for me, but probably not for the most people here -- they seem to have an impression its winter here -- so they wear leather jackets, sweaters, and all that stuff. I think I am the only crazy one wearing a t-shirt and a shirt, even not wearing any gloves! ;) It's +15C (59F) here on average, and it is a decent temperature for me (compare to -15C (5F) I'll have to expose myself to when I get back to St.Pete tomorrow).
Rosyna covered up the generic impressions of this place in the previous blog entry, so I guess I am feeling a wee bit lazy to do it now; just a few random points about this place:
- metro system is easy to use and doesn't costs much;
- people are generally friendly and it doesnt takes too much effort to speak to them (its a mix of weird monkey gestures I make and English with heavy Russian accent);
- the food is nice, except that Rosyna had a big disappointment with Mexican food here - it was not spicy at all;
- the wine is great too (I personally prefer Spanish wine to French wine anyway);
- the discos and girls are pretty nice and outgoing as well.
Either way, I'll be leaving to St.Pete tomorrow where I can finally get back to work, post some pictures online, and make a more extended blog entry. Thanks for your attention, see you next time!
(blech: who said this is a purely technical blog? yo? =)
