The Europe Experience

The girls decided to spend their last day of Madrid shopping so there were not many photos to show on this day itself.

shopping day

They came back with lots of shopping items from Zara, Pull & Bear and factory outletsss.

Afterwhich, we took the metro back to the train station to catch a train to Barcelona. With all our luggages and shopping bags, 5 of us looked like easy targets for pickpockets. We boarded the metro and 2 guys tried to pickpocket us separately (becos we were standing in 2 seperate groups). But they were really lousy as PK and reg could clearly see their hands SLOWLY moving into their bags. Of course they failed and they started scolding one another in Spanish i suppose before alighting at the next stop. I wonder how they survive if pickpocketing was their fulltime job.

Once again took very super high speed train to Barcelona, took only 2hrs plus to reach. After getting lost while trying to locate our hostel yet again, we were exhausted. The receptionist was super naggy, all we want to do is to go rest on our bed. We couldn’t get the rest we wanted because once we checked in, one of our roommate lost his wallet and was super pissed. He left his wallet on the bed while bathing. 5 of us became the prime suspects. He was cursing and swearing but I understand how he felt. There were 2 american guys already in the room too. So all 8 of us gathered in the room, for him to check our belongings and stuff. Honestly a few of us did saw some money on his bed but none of us saw his wallet. Maybe he misplaced it elsewhere but he claimed that he’s very certain he had his wallet on his bed. Surprisingly he said he trust us more than the 2 american guys, and started searching their lockers and bags. And the only other person to enter the room was the receptionist. Until today, the mystery remains unsolved.

By the time he decided to forget the incident, it was about 8.30pm and we were starving. We decided to go buy KFC some 400metres away from our hostel, with snackbox selling at 1.99euros instead!! 50cents cheaper than in Madrid! The americans told us that the rooftop is a good place to chill so brought our kfc up there. Upon reaching, we realised that the place was pitch black with the 2 american guys eating their sandwiches there. We disturbed their “gay” night and joined them at the table. Regina kept asking one of the guy to sing, and we spend the night enduring regina’s singing on the rooftop.
