Today was the first real, hard-core sightseeing ive done. Let me just say, Forum Barcelona, and Barcelona the city, itself is rediculous. First, the city is not only huge, but it is amazing. There are cafe's, bars, stores, fresh markets, street performers, etc., etc., everywhere. The people are really nice and most will help you out if you just try. A little bit of Spanish goes quite a long way. Also, the females are pretty attractive, and all are trendy. The only thing i dont like is the pickpockets, which makes me pretty much not trust any one of the locals. And it is not like they put a gun in your face like an American, insteady they tricky about. See, personally, id be scared and have a gun pulled on me than trust absolutely no one, question whether i recieved the correct change, and have my backpack locked and hands in my pocket to avoid stuff like that.
Forum Barcelona is an urban renewal project along the coastline and holds Europes largest convention center and a forum center that shows all the various urban renewal projects for the city. It also holds one of the sickest models ive ever seen. Its the size of an entire room and there is a video that plays and lights up the model in various ways simultaneously.Well this is only a portion of what more is going to be posted and everyone who reads this will see the city through the eyes of me. Until tomorrow...Hasta Manana.

Barcelona is certainly a city of many wonders. Barcelona is bursting with cultural energy and has become one of the most popular tourist destinations throughout Europe. Very hard to choose accommodation from many hotels in Barcelona, because all of them are quite good.
The works of Antoni Gaudi dominate the city of Barcelona. Though the city is both modern and cosmopolitan in nature, it has a rich history in architecture and the arts. The Sagrada Familia is probably the most well known of Gaudi’s works, and is known as a symbol of Barcelona across the entire world.
Interesting fact that there are two official languages spoken in Barcelona: Catalan, generally spoken in all of Catalonia, and Castillian Spanish.
