Hola Barcelona... Day 3... Day of Sport...

Barcelona is a sport city, it held the Olympic Games in year 1992. The local football club Barcelona FC is also a top club in Europe, won the 2009 UEFA champion league cup.

However, the starting of the day was not sporty but artistic - The Museum of Comtemporary Art. Anyway, I didnt go in cos it needs entrance fee. hehe...!!!



 Maybe these are also contemporary art... hehe...


The University of Barcelona...


Then headed to the Olympic area. Before coming to the stadium, must pass by the National Art Museum of Catalonia

Had lunch at 4pm then, forgot what it was called, I like it very much cos it is hot. Unlike the subway sandwich in UK which is cold.


Continued the sporting day, going to the famous football club - FC Barcelona. It has the largest football stadium in Europe with seats about 100,000.

Cos I didnt have any activity that night, so I bought the ticket and went for the match. I always thought I would watch my first live football match at Man United, but who know Barcelona became the first. I chose the cheapest ticket, of course, seated at the very top of the stadium. The normal temperature out there was about 12C that night, but it was freezing cold at the very top seat as the wind blowing like hell. Quite a suffering experience watching this match, but the match was very great between the two teams.
