Happy Goes Lucky… En Espana III

05Sep11

Long time ago, I promised to myself that by the age of 30, I will visit Ibiza. I was 4 months late with fulfilling my promise, but at least I’ve done it now! After prolonged convincing, my friends finally budged in and said “yes” to it as well. The White Isle, as it is often […]

Happy Goes Lucky… En Espana II

05Sep11

As much as Madrid has stayed conservative over the years, that much Barcelona has been progressive, and the evident changes could be seen in the city. The new extensions of La Sagrada Familia have been constructed, some metro stations have been renovated, and the waterfront has received a complete make-over. Since we were staying in an apartment for over a week, by the […]

in the Land of Sheep – Part 3/3

16Nov09

Originally written on November 16, 2009 Phew, the last bit… 😛 – England Aside from spending amazing time with my sister in Prague, my short stay in London was probably the other bit that made the trip memorable.

in the Land of Sheep – Part 2/3

16Nov09

Originally written on November 16th, 2009 – Czech Republic As much as Prague turned to be a lovely city, that much the Czech officials seem to have issues with anyone carrying a Canadian passport.
