By the time I arrived at my hostel in Barcelona, I saw cops everywhere. Guess what! My sister just got robbed! So this is the story. This italian guy pretended that he was looking for his ring, asked Sheau Wei if he could go into the room and look for his ring. She said yea. So he went in, pushed SW away, took 400 sing dollars from my sister's wallet and her camera, then ran away. At that time my sister was using computer downstairs. SW shouted to her "hey he took your money!" My sister asked " oh how much?" "All the money!" only then, my sister started chasing him. Luckily, an employee from the hostel got him and my sister got back everything. Something worse could probably happen that day but i thought the whole incident was pretty funny. We had a good laugh after that.
This artsy place had a lots of very interesting clothes and jewelries. We also spent a day visiting all Gaudi's buildings. I dont have the pictures with me yet.
Graffiti on every door.
I love how every building was painted. so messy.
My traveling buddies for this trip - my sister Liyi and my high school best friend Sheau Wei.
We took an overnight bus down south to Valencia.
g
Valencia was very famous for paella (somekind of rice dish). We attended this cooking class on the roof of a hostel. Got to learn to make and eat chicken/rabbit paella and drink Sangria.
Watching 32th America's Cup. (Yacht racing) We were cheering for NZ (because of Josh)
I bought a cap.

Waiting for the sailors.
Two teams in the final are NZ's Emirates and Italy's Luna Rossa something.

After Valencia, we took as night bus to Granada. This is a view from St Nicolas.
Alhambra and Sierra Nevada. Granada's my favourite place for the whole trip.
f
A closer look.
f
Wandering in the arabic neighborhood. This neighborhood is actually one of the world heritage.
f
The Generalife of Alhambra.
Liyi in the garden. This place smelled really really good!!!
Finally, we climbed up to the fortress.( Part of Alhambra)
I just could not get enough of the view. Too bad Sierra Nevada could not be seen from here.
Then, I found the better spot.
I like those mushroom-head-plants along the corridor.
Malaga was about 2 hours form Granada. Again, we climbed up another alcazaba.
 
Sevilla was another 2 hours from Malaga. This was the famous spot for wedding couples to take pictures.
Grocery shopping in Sevilla! I bought some Cola Cao and paella spices. The girls were having fun touching meat.
Awesome Flamenco dancers.
A night view of Alhambra.
We flew back to Barcelona from Sevilla. This time se visited Joan Miro
foundation !!! (I love Joan Miro's works) Some funny posts in front of the museum.
After that, we went up to this place in a cable car.
Without wasting anytime, we bought tickets to watch bull fighting.
It was not really a fighting. The picture shows the picador stabbing the bull's neck. Probably like 6 times. Finally, the bull fell and vomited lots of blood. Then, one person stabbed on its head twice.
The dead body was dragged away and the crowd cheered. 6 bulls would be kill in each game. We only stayed for 30 min. My sister was in tears already after the first bull was killed. It's really strange to find this game to be so popular in a modern society.
