While waiting for my flight at 6:50am . . .

Currently at Barcelona. Nice architectures and we are behaving like a ´TOTAL´TOURIST. Carrying cameras and takin pictures at almost everything. As i always think, the 2 top favourite things that tourists like to take are FOUNTAINS and Christmas Trees. Didn´t really like the place intially because the MAFIA greeted us to the country by cheating us 50€ each (SIN$100). We felt so stupiddddd!!! All in the hope of wanting easy-money and there goes our cash in less than 3 seconds. Arghhhh... We took more than a day to get over this... hopefully... ok, i shan´t mention this further to spoil my mood. Will just pretend that i lost the money at the CASINO or to buy a lesson. Arghhh...
Despite the fact that our mood was dampened a little, we still appreciate how beautiful Barcelona is . Night life is amazing and the beach has lotsa interesting things to check out. London is great as well. Really enjoy the way that things are more similar to Singapore in London, compared to the States. From the subway station, the rules and regulations, the way that we look right first and then look left before we cross the road etc. BUT the Sterling Pounds is getting to me... Things are freaking expensive. A simple plate of Fish and Chips cost 4pounds (SIN$12) and curry chicken with potato can cost 3.50pounds SIN$10.50). Overall, i still prefer the U.S - The people, environment and the shopping. Saranya do not agree with me though.
Flight at 6:50am later and to be on budget, we aren´t getting a room for the night. Anyway, we saw how crazy the locals because of the soccer match between BARCA and ARSENAL. The wrapped in flags, dressed in jersey, shouting and yelling just before the match. Cool... So we blended in with the local to catch the match. Nice... AND Barca won!
Alrighty, my last stop... PARIS
