Update my itinerary and some bits and bobs

Porto, Portugal
Lisbon, Portugal
Faro, Portugal
Seville, Spain
Madrid, Spain

This is my third night in Madrid.

Folks, if you wish to stay in Madrid, look no other place than Pop hostel. I got a 2-bed room for the price of 6-bed mixed dorm, with individual bathroom, hot shower, WiFi. With 14 Euro is the by far the best hostel I ever live in.

Madrid is famous for, well, it depends. For one thing, for me it's still small enough to cover the city by foot. You can actually save your metro (10 trips cost ?6.4 euro) for flamenco. La Carboneria in Seville is free and I guess must be well recommended in travel book (yes it's in my lonely planet book), it's packed with travellers. You hardly see any locals. Still it's worthy to spend an hour there.

Madrid's metro is clean and quite easy to navigate, as compared to London's tube. Hmm, I like to see our's is as good as those.

Having only live two days in Madrid, I think Spanish really like monuments, like British lah... ... You got 88 monuments in Madrid city centre alone, that's what I will call obsession. No offence, my spanish friends. He said monument helps strengthen the community, that's all.

Will try to upload some photos asap.

其实想放弃回家的念头一直都有。我整天迷路,出状况,还是死不去。

背包有苦有乐,很累是真的。

最难忘当是里斯本,头一天我在警察局门外巴士小亭打地铺,呵呵。。

flamenco 真的很棒,虽然我不怎么爱舞蹈和歌剧。下次你要去看。

今天会往 Toledo,一日游。

一切都好。勿担心。

Many people whom I met always mention that Madrid is a sleepless beauty, like Seville, famous for its nightlife.

Well, most of the night I simply curve in my bed with my book. Just don't feel like going out at night.

Unless I am out for flamenco.

Flamenco is awesome.

We go together nextime. 打勾勾... ...:)
