SODACHI!

好像我一向都是不太擅长外出的人，一到陌生的地方就开始紧张、手脚发凉，怕赶不上车误了飞机，更怕在暗巷里受到不明人物的性侵害。所以我出去玩大致都是呆在一个城市，免得舟车劳顿的痛苦，还能让自己在几天内慢慢变得LOCAL起来。

这大概就是我长这么大还没去过什么荒山野岭，亦没有进行过长途旅行的原因。每次去新的城市也都会把二手店和食物当成重点，作为一个没有CULTURE的人，我还是更愿意把博物馆门票的钱省了花在EBAY上。大概就是这种感觉。

所以，对于我这样目光狭隘不思进取的人来说，巴塞罗那确实是一颗富有足够冒险情趣的城市：本地人拉美移民旅游者骗子小偷鱼龙混杂，却又在地中海温柔的阳光下和平共处着。当我爬上PARC GÜELL的山坡回头看着狭长街道那端的大海的时候，有一种莫名其妙的让人甘愿为它自杀的温馨感。周末夜里的地铁是八分钟一趟，从地铁站里出来就看见乌泱乌泱的人群站在街上，空气里都是酒精和烟花的味道，再配上街上姑娘的乳沟是那么让人销魂。或者夜里背靠着奥林匹克港躺在静静的沙滩上，把啤酒罐插在沙子里，看着星星，闻着海鲜馆的清香，有了尿意则可以就地在水下暗中解决，是一种廉价的娱乐方式。

食物的方面巴塞罗那也比德国有更多选择，便宜的海鲜饭馆数不胜数。好像游客都比较倾向海鲜饭墨鱼饭，当地人的话DINE OUT就更喜欢肉食。后来，我果然在数顿海鲜+SANGRIA之后有了不良的生理反应，也只好在最后一天用肯德基和中餐结束了我多年来对海鲜的热衷。最后的经验就是海鲜饭好吃但你不能顿顿吃，其实巴塞罗那有不少正宗的中餐馆，除了大都有便宜的给老外的套餐，单独点菜的话大概青菜5欧肉菜8欧，也是相当实惠的价格。

一直让人担心的语言问题其实也没有出现：会简单西语（词汇量<50）再加上英语基本可以跟人交流，不太偏的饭馆大都也有英文菜单，另外在巴塞罗那餐厅打工或开商店的浙江人非常之多，也特别热情，所以基本上你会中文就可以在这里生存。

我到最后也能体会那些千辛万苦偷渡到巴塞罗那的人的心情：纵使人生一事无成，只要能在这样的地方终老，就是一件终极幸福的事情了吧。

Barcelona is a safe city in general. However, pick-pockets are said to be flooding every main boulevard, where innocent Asian tourists like me are the main targets. This is why an over-sized and larger-than-life outfit would not work for the city.

Rule 1: Always keep your bag within your eyesight.
This MUJI bag is a stylish choice though it might make you look like a monk.

Rule 2: Keep your precious belongings invisible.
SAMSONITE is good at making such things, like this hidden bag that could be stuffed into your underwear. Unless you'd get raped or laid, your passport, credit cards and cash are kept safe, even with the infamous Gore-Tex technology.

Rule 3: Don't leave your pants pocket widely open.
If even you yourself have problem picking things out of your pockets, it is the best thing that could ever be. Recommended here is a series of Slim Slacks from American Apparel, being able to keep everything close to your skin. This will makes you look top-sexy expecially when you have to find some tiny coins at the very bottom of your pocket.

The Merino Shoulder Bag by Rick Owens, available at louisaviaroma.com for 351 euro. As an alternative you can go ask your mum if she'd like to make you one withher abandoned sewing machine down in the basement. So this is the hi-fashion in Europe and America, even though in East Asia it looks like as if you were revisiting the ancient Buddism tradition of begging alms.


This edgy design also reminds me of the "peaceful monks" back in Tibet in last year. Yet Tibet is a fascinating place where you can eat, drink, drive, smoke, rape and kill but still be a "peaceful monk", whatever, as long as you're equipped with the yellow version of this trendy Rick Owens design.


And there we saw this German guy (assumingly the famous Mathias von Hein) dressing himself monkish at an Deutsche-Welle interview with The Dalai Lama. Sure he thought he was cool.

For the following week I'm setting a blazer made by Ann Demeulemeester on an ebay auction. I used to enjoy it a lot when I was a slim boy before the fitness studio ruined it all. This is a women's blazer.

The classic monogram rules. But when you grow old, plain black&white becomes your new monogram.

Grab yourself a bargain.

What do you do on a hot summer's day when you've got no lectures to attend and no homework to do? You go shopping. I'm not talking about scenes in The Confessions Of A Shopaholic I'm talking about my real life. Since internet was invented in late 2006, you don't even have to leave Brooklyn to the upscale Madison Avenue for a shopping tour. Yet with this small tiny thing called notebook computer, you have the entire world of luxury in the privacy of your own tiny room.

My girlfriend likes shopping very much. As long as I don't have to pay the bills for her, I'm always happy to see more eye-candies on her body.

Coming in today are boots from N.D.C. (made by hand), Luca Valentini, and an MM6 skirt

Some say it is not right showing off things and stuffs on your blog but I don't think it's true. My blog is not where I tell people how I live, but where I confuse people about how I live. Blog is loneliness.
