Skyscrapercity

I love buildings. Specially I love tall, modern buildings. Maybe that is because in my town the tallest building is about...6 floors. Some weeks ago I discovered this website (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/) where you can find beautiful pics of buildings all over the world.

Here are some pics that I like pretty much:


Thanks to Singapur3 and Marcanadian for these beautiful pics. It's pretty obvious, but, can you guess where have these pics been taken? :)

Things-to-do

My things-to-do list (in whatever order):
  1. Polish up my English and French by myself (maybe while I am on the train to work)
  2. Dare to talk to those French women who sit by me everyday on the train
  3. Take German lessons again (at least twice a week)
  4. Take Chinese lessons (Ok, let's stop talking about languages)
  5. Take photography lessons (I bought this digital camera but still don't know how to take good pics).
  6. Travel to Asia
  7. Go to the cardiologist
  8. Read other people's blogs and make comments
  9. Meet someone that inspires me (Well, I know a few people I would like to meet, if only I could meet one of them...)
  10. Re-learn to drive (Almost 4 years since I last drove)
  11. Go to Ushuaia
  12. Look for a 'cheap' house to rent with my boyfriend (well...by cheap I mean less than 800€/month)
  13. ...and so and so on

So far I've been to...

In one of the previous posts I said I'd write a list of the countries I'd like to visit before I die. Unfortunately, there are a lot of places and got to go have dinner in few minutes so, instead of that, I'll list the countries I've been (or I've stepped in) so far:


Andorra: Been there when I was very young, with my family. Don't remember much about it, just a big shop where we bought an almost bigger biscuit box :D


Belgium: Been to Brussels, Brugge and many small towns, liked it a lot, specially Brugge.

Canada: I love this country. Only been to the west anyway: Vancouver, Victoria, Calgary, Edmonton...Vancouver is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to, I love the Legislature building in Edmonton, and Calgary...well, I feel half Calgarian since I went there...Love u guys!!

France: my neighbours...I live so close that almost every saturday I go there for a walk. It may seem strange to a lot of people, but yes, it's only a 15 minute walk from my house :). I've also been to Paris with my boyfriend, which was an amazing experience. Love u honey!!

Germany: I've only been to the Frankfurt airport,hehe, it was like chaos. My worst experience in an airport so far. In few months I'll be going to Munich and Berlin. Hope it's better...

Ireland: Rain, rain and rain. I think it rained for 28 days in a row. But very nice people there..and an interesting language, Irish. I want to go back because I didn't visit Dublin.

USA: another airport only. That was Chicago. Everything was easy to find there and people were quite helpful. Of course, I'd like to visit the country. Maybe next year...flights to NY are not so expensive now...

Spain: well, that's where I live. Don't like it much though... everything is sooo expensive. And almost no-one speaks English, so I can't practice it. That sucks :(

That's all for today. Be good, and travel safe
