New Movie! Woody Allen has a new movie out and it's called Vicky Cristina Barcelona ..seriously, who came up with that title? It's a story about 2 friends called Vicky(Rebecca Hall) and Cristina (Scarlett Johansson) who went for a holiday in Barcelona (WHOA that's how they came up with the title!) There they meet an artist(Spaniard Javier Bardem) and they .. according to Wiki .."develop a relationship". But the thing is, this artist has a kerayzee ex-wife(Penelope Cruz). I'm more interested to watch the movie cuz it's set in Barcelona ! They were shooting the movie when I left Barcelona last July, and my friends who wanted to visit Parc Guell couldn't as they closed the park for the filming! You can click here to see my post on Barcelona . Here's the trailer..and there's a scene where Cruz kisses Johansson!! Helpful Sites: Vicky Cristina Barcelona Official Site Vicky Cristina Wiki

Be warned: This is a super long post..longer than my Al-Hambra one! I'm finally blogging about my next destination during my trip to Spain.. that is none other than the lovely and quirky.. BARCELONA! After the last day of class (Friday), my friend Nav and I took the bus to Madrid..we booked a flight to Barcelona from Madrid at about 6.30am (i think?) on Saturday morning. We said our goodbyes to our housemates and new found friends, and departed the beautiful Salamanca. On the way to Madrid (last time onboard the efficient and comfy Avanza) I caught Ávila at night and I must say the view was breathtaking, it happened to quickly and I couldn't take the pic on time. Managed to catch the colourful sky though =) Skyline - trust me if was so beautiful in real, the camera gives it no credit at all. We spent the night at the airport, but I didn't get much sleep at all - THANKS to one lousy couple who sat opposite me..that lady had an annoying high pitched laugh..AND SHE KEPT LAUG
