Just a suggestion. :)<BR/><BR/>Andre,<BR/>I know I have been fortunate with traveling but a lot of it is work related. While I was there, the working hours were 8am to 8 pm. However, the Spaniards take a siesta in the afternoon so they only begin getting active at about 9 pm. So I was still able to enjoy the street life but it was tiring.Lone Grey Squirrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16892067644551128013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35697944.post-63242452610184695052009-01-16T04:47:00.000+08:002009-01-16T04:47:00.000+08:00Oh, I'm so ridiculously jealousy!Next time, can yo...Oh, I'm so ridiculously jealousy!<BR/><BR/>Next time, can you pack me in a carry-on piece of luggage?

The phallic building is also one of my least favorite. It is a building with an outer shell that looks like it is made of some hard plastic. The building shell can be lit up by lights in a myriad of colours making the whole building a colourful work of art. It is very pretty from a distance but not so much up close.Lone Grey Squirrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16892067644551128013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35697944.post-66182429442601506292009-01-15T18:01:00.000+08:002009-01-15T18:01:00.000+08:00kimber,Indeed.
