... and an extract from Shane's diary:

Day 5, 24.11.11

I went to work in the morning and the evening today. 10am-1pm and 4-8pm. It's quite a strange working pattern for me compared to back in England where I'm used to working an 8 hour day all the way through. Pablo put me to work making plasticine models for the children and the time went quickly.

Carol and Pablo [work colleagues] invited me to lunch back at Pablo's flat. I accepted and met Giulia an Italian girl from Verona who is also doing a placement as well ... Lunch was nice, We had a mushroom pasta. I must say I felt abit out of the loop in some of the conversation - Italian, Spanish and Catalan was being thrown about! I did try to get involved, but thankful they all spoke English to varying degrees. Pablo later showed me his favourite record an original Beatles LP. Sergeant Peppers Lonely Heart Club. He loved the fact it came with small paper cut outs!

Amazing pictures . Barcelona is one of the world's leading tourist place , economic,  and cultural-sports centres, and its influence in commerce, education, entertainment, media, fashion, science, and the arts all contribute to its status as one of the world's major global cities.

Nice pics and you had your nice time because I know how it feels. I went to barcelona for some business work but got enough time to roam around because so many people don't have any appreciation for culture outside their own country but all it takes is one park to show you how different the world can be if you are willing to explore it.
