Practical 8 & 9 - Reflections

If I could go somewhere in the world, I'd like to go to Barcelona.


















I used Currency, Accessibility, and Presentation and Arrangement to evaluate AboutBarcelona.com, which is a site that feeds and provides up to date information about touring Barcelona. It has a date counter to show its currency, and also the site provides much information about places of interest in Barcelona, and some events and festivals that happen in the city, and even guides to other cities in Spain.

Barcelona is the second largest city in Spain, and is noted for its laid-back and relaxed lifestyle. I'm very intrigued by its old architecture, some of which are designed by the world-famous Antoni Gaudi, who uses colourful tiles and odd shapes to create his surrealistic monuments. I've always drawn inspiration from his works, and it would be an experience to just actually see them in real life. I guess a great force of influence was watching the movie, "Vicky Christina Barcelona" talking about two girls who visit barcelona. It's beautiful with the sun-baked tiles and relaxed lifestyle in the bar late at night listening to spanish guitar, it is truly a place of ultimate R&R.
