Day 32-34 (Free days and last day)






First free day, we woke up late because we need some sleep. Then we met everyone at the lobby at 12:30 to go to the beach. Finally we got there and it was so fun. We did human pyramid, and we swam. And I had sandwiches and beers My body burned! I became red though Ok thats all I did on first free day. Second day which is last day in Barcelona and our trip, some people went to Italy very early in the morning. I hope they have fun there! Me and Andrea went to Barcelona soccer stadium which Andrea and Danielles favorite tam. I am fan of them, but I have so many teams which are my favorites. We paid 15 euro each to get into the stadium. They have stadium tour they have museum and field tour OMG it is just amazing and huge Now I know why they are one of the best club in the world. And I heard that the stadium is 3rd largest stadium in the world. We took picture and stuff, and we came back to our hotel to get ready to go out to the beach. We went to different beach because we didnt want to walk. The water was dirty but it was nice We chilled out and came back to the hotel Uhmmm yeah that was the last day in Barcelona



I took 8:15 shuttle. I was kind of worrying about my flight. My flight is 10:40. I wasnt sure how long it takes from hotel to airport. But I made it I was kind of confused because they didnt give any tickets for Germany to China, China to Korea They said I have to ask air china in Germany. I am worrying about it as well. Its the first time in my life. I am sitting in front of the gate There are so many Chinese here though. I will just follow them My plan for 10 hours flight to China is SKETCH haha I am so behind, I did only 10 of them. And I will do 10 more in the plane! Darrin and Susie, I will send you e-mail when I get home! As I posted on facebook, Thanks everyone for helping me out Thanks for make me speak more English!!! Thanks a lot I hope to see you guys in fall !!!!! I am here safe in Korea!!!!

Day 31 (Second day in Barcelona)






We woke up at 7 and had wonderful breakfast today. I didnt really expect for the breakfast, but it was amazing. We visited so many places today. I cant even remember all the names now. I saw so many unique designs and architecture. There were so many I love all of them actually Those pictures are my favorite ones! Oh I forgot about Gaudi church. It was hugggggggggeeeeeeeeeeeee I really wanted to go there I was so curious about unfinished architecture I heard that they dont have enough money to build it But I dont think so, they unfinished on purpose I think. It is very famous because its unfinished. But I love it sooooooooo much.

Day 30 (First day in Barcelona)






We are finally in Barcelona which I really wanted to. But, I felt really sad because we are going to stay here for only 4 days and our trip will be done. We arrived in Barcelona and we went out, it was so hot which I felt summer. It was really hot but I was so excited to go to beach. I really needed to take shower because I didnt take shower in Paris. I chose to sleep more than take shower. But we tour Barcelona until 4 o clock. I saw lots of Spanish architecture and designs in everywhere. They have so many unique architectures though. I love Barcelona designs the most! Even our hotel has really good design in the lobby. I tried to meet my friend in here, but I decided not to because we have tight schedule and I am not that friendly with him We just say hi in school though.. By the way, the first day in Barcelona was AMAZING

Day 29 ( Last day in Paris)






Today we went to Versaille which was really amazing and huge place in France. We were walking about 2 hours to go in the garden. I was so excited about Barcelona, and I tried to speak in Spanish, and girls taught me Spanish! I forgot already though. We arrived in front of the rooms and gardens, and we sketched! Then I tried to have my wrap for my lunch, but I had really bad stomach. I tried to find toilet I walked for like 20 minutes but I couldnt find one. I tried to eat again.. but suddenly I felt so bad feeling I walked really fast to the restaurant and asked where the toilet is.. then I found one I felt betterhaha and we went to rooms and it was amazing I love their rooms though It was long day! But had fun!

Day 28 ( Paris 8)

Today we had quite easy day... The weather was really bad... It rained hard in the morning. So we didn't go where we should have gone today... Instead of that, we did our patterns... We had 3 hours to do, but I slept and hour and worked on my patterns for 2 hours. I couldn't think of any good ideas in 2 hours. But I did my best... And I will work on it tonight to make it better. Ok... We went to Montmartre hill... It is the place that I wanted to go last free day in Paris. There were lots of art things going on. I wanted to sit down and let the guy draw me... But it was expensive... it was 20 euro..OH BEFORE THAT... Phil and I went to Dani? museum. He's work is crazy.. It not the one that I like... I was there and saw lots of crazy stuffs that he designed... I stared at pictures, and everything drove me crazy... I felt like if I stay there, then I will be crazy, so I left there.. I met girls and Laura asked guy for 15 euro for sketch me. It was nice!!! It was amazing down there!! I love Montmartre!

Day 27 ( Paris 7)






Today is the last free day in Paris. I was kind of scared to go outside for my free days because it is dangerous. I woke up at 12 today,,, because we went out for club at midnight, but we just came back at 2. It was fun though... There were not many places to clubbing. Ok.. at 12 or 1 Phill and I arrived at the catacombs. There were so many people, so we waited on the line for like 2 hours. Then we went in........ It was scary.... I felt something weird feelings?? !!! Then when we went to real catacombs! It was amazing... At first time, I was scared of skulls, but I could see the patterns of designs. Then, I felt like those are all fake... because there are thousands of bones and skulls there!! We came out of the catacombs and we arrived in random places.. Oh,, while we were waiting on the line, we saw some music festival thing... We came back and told everyone about it. We actually wanted to go to Rock & Hip hop music near our hotel, but it was really bad... We came back to hotel and asked girls to go with us to catacombs place. We went there and there were thousands of people standing and drinking. We sat on middle of the road then we ran in front to dance. We were crazy... It was good song too.. I guess it was the best night ever in Paris!

Day 25 & 26 ( Paris 5,6)






FREE DAYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!! But the first free day, I didn't do anything. I just stayed at room and chilled out. I felt sick in the morning. I draw 2 sketches and slept all day! And at night, we went to Mcdonalds to grab some food.

Then, next day, Monday... I was sleeping and Phil went out to catacombs... and I was preparing to go out by myself. I had no plan, but I just walked around... Phil came in and he was like "They closed..." He was waiting for Zaha afternoon. By the way I went out, and I just randomly walked around... Somewhere near Opera, I had sushi... I tried to have hamburger because it's cheap, but then I felt like I need to have some sushi. I had 10 pieces of sushi, and it was 23 Euro..... the taste was ok... but it was expensive. I walked and took pictures but I don't even know what buildings are. It was so RANDOM WALKING tour today. I came back and showed Phil about my pictures, and he was like "that's Nortredame" and I just knew that I walked alot...

Day 24 (Paris 4)






Today I had so much fun. We met at 2 to go out of Paris. we went to fontainebleau, and vaux le vicomte. I thought it's going to rain today, but the weather was just crazy. I was rainy for 10 minutes, and then sunny for 30 minutes, and rainy and sunny.... I felt so bad about weather! I remember the garden in Vaux was awesome. Before Vaux, we had picnic near there and went in. Phil bought wine, and I bought whisky. I bought my whisky for night at hotel because we have free day next day... But, Phil and I walked around the garden and we walked to the statues far away on the hill. It took 30 minutes to get there. And we walked back, and met stephanie... and we walked around the rooms... After that Phil and I were going to drink some beers at the restaurant, but we thought of out drinks in the bus. We went out to get it and we were kind of afraid that... "what if they don't let us in?" but we surely came back to the garden. We hide somewhere and drank... because we didn't want to get in trouble... but no one cares!! Darrin, Phil and I had nice jumping pictures! and Susie and Stephanie as well!! and fireworks was awesome!! It was just amazing day in the garden!!

Day 23 ( Paris 3)






Today we went to musee de orsay and villa savoy. I heard that orsay museum is second biggest in Paris. Before that we walked about hour and half, so my foot hurts too... I walked and saw many pictures and chairs and stuff, and then I sit down for 10 minutes... walk and sit all the time. It was amazing that they have everything that I wanted to see. I was dreaming about it and today I saw it!! It was huge too... And then I went out and had lunch, and came back to museum and I sketched 2 today. I didn't really sketch orsay museum, but I sketched some other thing from England. It was quite cold out there... I think I got a cold from that.. And it was raining when we arrived at villa savoy. It was just amazing. It's small, but I could see all of Le Cobusier's work... amazing today!!!

Day 22 ( Paris 2)






It was great day. Actually it's the real first day in Paris. We went to sainte chapelle, centre pompidou, and louvre museum. I didn't know centre pompidou is in Paris. It was amazing. The way to go to the top was kind of annoying at the first time because of strange sound. We went to the top and took picture of paris. I could easily find Eiffel tower! and I heard that the strange sound is one of art. The way I went down, I listen it carefully, and I was addicted to it. We walked a lot today. We walked to Louvre museum... There were tons of people. I don't really like that. I remember about Louvre when I was here. I was here when I was 12 years old. At that time, I didn't know that it's big museum. And that time, they didn't let us take pictures at all. But today many people were taking pictures. Thus, I am thinking that all of those are fake!.... I guess it is. But, I feel good that I took many pictures there. Phil and I just walked back to our hotel from Louvre. It took an hour though. Not bad... But after an hour walking, my foot hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Day 21 ( Paris 1)






Here!! in Paris!!! I am so excited to see Eiffel tower !!!!!!! I thought we are going to Paris by air plane, but we got there by train! That's really nice. It is very cool that we can just take train to get other countries. OK Finally we are here in Paris. I thought it's been only 5 pm or 6pm but it was already 9pm. We went to see Eiffel tower at night!!! We all were excited. I was so hyper that time. We arrived there and IT IS AMAZING TOWER !! I still want to go there again later... grab some beers on the yard... I had it with amazing view. It was so lovely time though. Darrin is the master of negotiating. It's quite long story and someone will write about it as well!! It was so funny. We laughed lots there! Which is very nice. I will be there when we have free day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
