The first two days in Spain

20/12
hej all! I´m now in Madrid and Spain is reallly an must-go city in your life!It´s really dynamic, perversed with different styles shops and delicious ´dei dou´food---yummy ymmy----
At the beginning of my trip, i had sth really sad and bad......it´s all my fault and due to my careless mistakes...anyway it´s time for me to reflect myself again...i hope i can really learn from this lesson---what happened is that i lost my bag....just becos i forgot it!!!and i lost it now....i really hope that someone might found it and report it to the train station...i had sth valuable inside...it´s all my carelessness to lead to this....ridiculous mak mingyan!!!! i hope i won´t hate myself too much and keep a not bad mood during the trip

Thanks God Fei fei is with me!!!I enjoy being with her 24 hours a day. We have never-end and memorable conversations and memories....whom you just won´t feel lack of discussion topics...!!YEAH! =D (haha she´s now besides me and so happy about me writing this:D

and !
first report to you guys what happened on tue. we went to barcelona , strolling in the beautiful city, seeing the stunning architecture of Gaudi...just search for his work!!!Soooooooooooo amazing and ´gui fu sun gong´ !!!and like castles and houses you can find in fairy tales!

we ate Paella, a local spanish meal!....quite expensive and small portion...anyway, just a new try la!and we found lucky money----20 euro in the street, we are also grateful that we don´t meet any police at that time...so we just take it as our one of the christmas gifts from God...and comfort from the bad luck of loosing my bag....

nice to meet winnie´s sister, Sum, she´s a professional artist/designer and beautiful girl that a few spanish people come to us to take pictures with her...haha

22/12
today we went to book train tickets...really takes a long time and complicated task about destinations and comparing the prices...to get cheapest and fastest way and finally make up a route....the whole process is tiresome but i believe we learn in all these experiences...

then we have a relax stroll in the city, taking pictures with the awesome buildings and park and museums...really beautiful ne!!!
and then we meet winnie and sum in the telepizza....the spanish people usually each one pizza for each person...their ´sick leung´are really ´ging yun´ar...

shortly after we said goodbye to winnie and sum cos we want to go into the palace....you´ll know how luxury the old spanish kings...we heard some narration from the Taiwan guide and know more ...haha...all the stone on the stairs(about 4 metres long) are one piece! it must be very difficult to find those stones to make such a long stairs...

and so many luxury decorations and themes for each room...however i think people live their will still get bored sometimes that they need these ´unnessary things´to make life more ´durable´´ (can i use this word in this way?)

anyway, then we met a chinese girl from jie jiang---since our camera doesn´t have battery anymore, she wills to help and then we chat and become friends...you always don´t know who you would meet tomorrow........yuan fun....how interesting

then she told us a lot of tips and reminders to wander in spain...i just wonder how she knows so much without the lonely planet/let´s go! i´m now learn to travel wITHOUt it, but explore the place by myself.

We walk in the city, visit every tapas shops and special theme shops....so diversified and each one has their own characteristics...i like this kind of diversity more than the ´commerlized
districts´which are all the same in every big cities in the world

then we try some spanich food, tortilla and iberia with brie cheese...speical taste... just like westerners have chinese food, maybe they are not dislike it, but just not used to the taste they have...but so far so good:)

then nice chat and nice prayer at nite before sleeps with fei

22/12
Got up early in the morning, we´re able to catch the train to Segovia..another must-go place...cos it is where the Alcazar castle locate... on which Walt Disney paint the castle in the cartoon ´Snow White´so the Walt Disney logo.. the blue and white castle with a star go around the top of the castle....that is the castle of Alcazar in Segovia! really beautiful and the small town is beautiful too....the knights model and military things just remind you of the AOE...now AOE3 is available la....later must try try to play sin...hope i have time,haha

also there is a Roman Acueducto...a Roman ´river bridge´built for defensive use( i guess) and really beautiful(sorry for my limit of vocab..hehe) and later i would upload the pictures when i come back

then we try some spanish tea-time food, a simple sandwich and cafe(need to balance between budget and varieties of local food we have) and reallly nice converstion with fei----hehe----really happy to be with a good friend---no matter where and what you are doing ar

and then we come back and walk in the city again...a last glance of Madrid...cos we´re leaving early tomorrow to Toledo... and other small town showing beautiful landscape...tell you guys tomorrow when i come back la

can´t read the chinese message at the moment, cos using computers in the hostesl...but thanks so much for you warm words

please pray for our safety in spain, cos we met ´mentally-illed women´and a girl as robber in the cities in Spain...they are not as safe as in HK nor Sweden

and also my plan in later Jan, i´m thinking where to have a birthday le...in the middle of Jan...really hope that i have a nice birthday this year, a good time with my friends, a memorable place to be....now original plan to have a party in the nation is cancelled...cos the restaurant has not opened yet before the semester starts...so need to change the plan la....see how Gods leads me la:)

Dad and mom, really sorry for the loss of the bag...i dunno what should i say...hai... but i need to learn from the lesson, i hope i would never make this kinds of mistake again:( but thanks for your kindness and always support to me....thanks God that i have you two as my parents...just always being patient with my similar mistakes all over the years...:)
