I have a different feeling in two cities!

Madrid: maybe it's the capital of Spain, it has modern metro (oriented facilities: air conditioner), actually it's very similar with Taiwan MRT, clear, comfortable, modern and brilliant. let me surprise: it's open until 2 A.M. Their night activities are abunant. Also this city is full of tourists and shopping mall, you can find many spainish brand in the Puerta de Sol. The ZARA and Mango occupy the whole building. But Camper shoes like no popular, the store always small and the pattern not too much. They have few supermarket which located in department store underground floor, very hard to find.

Barcelona: it is the second important city in Spain ( actually many people think Barcelona is the capital ).Their metro system and equipment are worse than in Madrid! dirty, dark, no air conditioner and few lifts or escalator ( it is very terrible, when u carry out a heavy luggage, u will feel : shit! what metro without these equipment ). however, in our eyes, I more like this city than last one! maybe it is full of Gudi's architecture, he is amazing man. why he can combine the art and Spainish cultual to build a Humanized house! and these building almost over 100 years, until now, it is provide people living, visiting or be a office used. so cool~
