  SO I SCREWED UP. 2 days ago after arriving into Barcelona, I ranted how sad I was to have discovered that what I thought was one of my favorite restaurants, La Xampanyeria, was closed the night before the Catalan Independence Day. It had been my favorite because we...

Reunited In Barcelona, 5 Years Later

by Calvin Sun | Sep 11, 2016 | Fail, Fit for Foodies, September 2016: Andorra, Spain, The Nightlife, Weekend Trips

Oh Barcelona: It’s been 5 years! That trip was special — it was the first trip I ever done with a large group (and look how far we’ve come!). And now I’m back. While 4 of us would meet in Barcelona tonight to begin our weekend trip to Andorra,...

by Calvin Sun | Jan 4, 2012 | December 2011: Spain, Gibraltar, Morocco, Portugal, Fit for Foodies, Gibraltar, Morocco, Portugal, Post-travel Reflections, Spain, What Dreams May Come, You're Going to Miss It...

  You’re going to miss the freedom of wandering, the days that begun with nothing to expect, the trust in what’s around the corner, the feeling of wanderlust, the time when you were free to do anything that you wanted.     You’re going to miss...
From Spain To Morocco

From Spain To Morocco

by Calvin Sun | Dec 31, 2011 | Blitzkrieg!!!, Border Crossing, December 2011: Spain, Gibraltar, Morocco, Portugal, How Did You Do That?, Lessons Learned, Morocco, Spain

 A few minutes after crossing back in and out of Gibraltar, we took a relatively cheap (2.15 euros) 30min bus ride from La Linea de Concepcion (Spain’s border town by Gibraltar) to the Spanish port town of Algeciras. There’s really nothing much to see...
