"You
see, I'm crazy for you. Touch me once and you will know it's true."
Will
I ever get enough of you, Barcelona? Though my body is tired from lack of sleep
and running around the city, my spirit is rejuvenated! Sitting at the
airport waiting for my delayed flight, I relax and take joy in the delightful
memory from the full week of meetings, reunions, and intimacy. You know
this is not goodbye, my love. I will be back to taste your distinctive
vibe and passion before you know it.
Since I started my journey in May
2011, I have only been to three countries for specific purposes. This is
the first trip with no deliberate aim except to visit places I have never been
to. The heart-warming Barcelona prepared me well for the next unknown
destinations. As usual, I didn't do much research and will simply let the
flow take me to countless unexpected encounters. Here I come, Prague, and
you are next, Vienna.
早上7時39分，咖啡店內播起熟悉的旋律，是Cocteau Twins的This Love，想起鍾愛這首歌的老朋友，我倆的清葱歲月，接待我等沙發客的東道主要中午才能另配門匙，所以一早便要與他同步出門，於寒冷濃霧中四處尋覓，終於找到這所精緻小館，好讓我暖暖身、喘喘氣、定定神... 這是我在布拉格的首個清晨。
在巴塞與不同單位密集地開會、見面、敘舊，我仿似有用不完的能源，心靈亦被充得滿滿，已深深愛上這個自由熱情之都，所以這個只是後會、必定有期。

| Waiting, tasting, anticipating... at Barcelona airport. |
 |
| Thanks to my first morning shelter from the misty cold Prague, I finished my blog entry at last. |
 |
| Let's rewind back to London. |
 |
| Off to a modeling session & spotted this magnificent view by the Thames. |
 |
| The adventure never stops. |
 |
| Ali using his photographer instinct. |
 |
| Bookshop literally by the river. |
 |
| Can never get enough of Jazz, especially from the oldies. |
 |
| The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living by the celebrity British artist Damien Hirst. Some of his artworks were kind of provocative, but I feel like there is still something missing... I'm just not engaged. |
 |
| A view of London from Tate Modern. |
 |
| Gorgeous perspective from Ali's guest room. Thank you for the lovely week, my dear! |
 |
| Oh yeah, return to our favorite "French guys" cafe in BCN. |
 |
| Squat for circus practice. |
 |
| NO, no one is drunk here. |
 |
| Street performers are still my welcomed surprises as I wander around. |
 |
| Brunch party at Linda's. Got to love your unique way of avoiding the camera, my love. ;) |
 |
| So much food, so much joy. |
 |
| So glad we shared the week together, my Lena. KISS KISS! |
 |
| Sitges, a town 30 mins train from Barcelona. |
 |
| Left: reaching to our hope. Right: a sample street view of the laid-back town. |
 |
| The infamous shot when you google-image "Sitges". |
 |
| Walking, talking, pausing, kissing... what more can you ask for? |
 |
| The last sunset reminds me it's time... but only to say "see you later". |
 |
| A memorable scene in BCN under my buddy, Miquel's home. |
 |
| My first impression of Prague - Václavské náměstí - the heart of the city. |
 |
| Morning visit to the Charles Bridge is rather quiet and refreshing. |
 |
| Excellent weather for wandering among such historical structures. |
 |
| Buildings with individuality fill the entire city. |
 |
| Though St.Vitus Cathedral is not really in use except for tourists, its marvelous interior still has a breathtaking presence. (well, at least when it's not packed with crazy picture taking tourists.) |
 |
| A taste of the romantic Prague |
 |
| Ahha, I always manage to find a peaceful corner to feel my own heartbeat & the rhythm of the city. |
 |
| Sketching is a wonderful way to slow down, observe & listen. |
 |
| What's next? |
