MAD Madrid and the cars

If you happen to go to Madrid and try to cross the street, just runaway as fast as you can when the pedestrians green ligth starts to flash.
If it goes red, the cars start moving even if you are in the middle of the avenue!!!

A perception exercise... The new James Bond in Madrid

I go to Madrid and on the day I arrive, just while I was walking through the "Gran Via", I see all these people waiting near a movie theatre with pics of James Bond everywhere and the movie theme song playing.

It didn't took me much to realize that it was the premiere of the new movie and Daniel Craig was going to walk the red carpet.

I waited more than 1h but eventually and after douzens of famous spanish models, musicians, etc (not to me thought)... he finally showed up.
Wow! I am lucky bastard indeed.

Instead of fainting, I took some pics with my shitty mobile. He is in one but don't bother too much... it is hard to recognize.

At least I saw him live in my first night in MAD MADRID!

Lost thoughts

Why is that everytime I travel by plane nowadays, I always remember LOST...?

I wonder if I would see any "white bears" if I crashed on an island...

So cosmopolitan of me... and the delicacies in Park City

Back to the US, back to the delicacies.

Pumpkin Beer. Only during halloween!



Chocolate poop... I mean... Chocolate cake from the chocolate factory!



Apple candy, covered in chocolate, caramel and pecans!

So cosmopolitan of me... on the Day of the Dead

The "dia de los muertos" is something that is cellebrated in Mexico on November the 1st (all saints day) and 2nd (all souls day), to remember loved ones that passed away.
Since it is a celebration, people give food, tequilla, music to the dead and eat/drink/dance themselves, either at their homes or cemeteries.
The food and drink (and even cigars...) are placed on an altar, which also includes the traditional "pan de muerto" or "dead man's bread".

This day can be seen as a mix between the catholic tradition (all saints day) with the indigenous people's tradition in a way that instead of making it a day of pain and suffering, it turns out to be a celebration of life.

We celebrated it by drinking mexican beer and eating pan de muerto.
I nice day indeed!

Halloween's chickens

If I hear one more child knocking on the door and saying "queremos dulces para Halloween" ("we want sweets for Halloween"), I will turn into a monster and eat them alive.

Ok... I don't mean that of course.
They taste like chicken... and I am vegetarian!
I'll eat the sweets instead.

Bwaaaaaah ah ah!
