Entry: La Rambla Thursday, August 13, 2009



As I'm bored out of my wits now, I would reach out to whatever memories I have left and take a stroll down one of the most famous streets in the world - La Rambla in Barcelona.

Apart from the flooding tourists, La Rambla houses pretty much everything you could and would find on a street.


Ever busy street

For example, the usual talented caricature artists that tend to overcharge tourists and street magicians doing card tricks that you would find in most European tourist spots.


Too many artists


Street magician. Not too impressive.

Frankly, I thought those artists were pretty good. If only the exorbitant price ain't an issue, I would have gotten myself a good portrait and probably admire myself from time to time.

Yeah, La Rambla is home to an extensive variety of weird people as well. No kidding.

Even the invisible man chose to take a nap on this wonderful street. Not that I can see his eyes of course.

On the far corner, we have Cleopatra haggling for a change and a corpse bride lamenting her fate after falling into a tin of blue dye.

Heck, there were numerous weird people with weird costumes on that I can't possibly know or describe. What are you suppose to call this? A harpy?


Boy seemed extremely fascinated


What do I call this? A chrome statue wannabe?

I wonder if people attempts to steal their pot of coins, how would they chase after them in these outrageous outfits?

One of the most famous street performer (who doesn't really perform anything but stay still and pose) is this guy right here. The strongest man ever lived.


Spot the huge beach ball

He had this don't mess with me look and the same position every single time I passed the street. No wonder he has the most newspaper coverage out of everybody there. Whole world on his shoulders, not easy yo.

Oh, in case you are wondering. I did not spend a dime. Gotta love the zooming functions in cameras.

Darn, I am still bored out of my wits.
