i think thats about it.

That's about it? Dstyle you are not far from a title of a World Traveler. I envy you, traveling is very addicting and you have certainly visited a whole bunch of interesting places.

Now about Spain, that is my first destination for now, and my long time dream, mainly due to the novels by Hemingway. Tell me what was your favorite city in Spain, what were some of your favorite things about it and how are people like? I take it hablas espanol con fluidez?

Spain ahhh
No i dont know spanish but i understood the people, i dont know if that makes sence, and they understood me.
My favorite cities in order that i went to were
Barcelona - Amazing city, great architecture and history behind it. Great beaches, and bars/clubs for partying, and amazing amount of young people.
San Sebastion - Small town on the coast. got there on a day of a futbal match, went into a small tavern i guess, had dinner and drank with the locals, awsome.
Ibiza - party central, but u have to be on drugs to enjoy it, alas i couldnt enjoy it that much, u know. but great beaches.
madrid - historically its nice, but the city to me lacked any flavor. just boring.

Seriously i love architecture and between england, france and spain i got my fair share. its like people live in history. basically like going to armenia for the first time, your eyes just pop out due to the beauty, even though nothing compares to armenia for me.

i hope thats good

Originally posted by Inna thankx for the welcome ....and about Georgia, i dont really remember it, just heard stories from my mom and sisters who told me about the time we went there, i think we went to the mountains there or something...i never thought of it as the way you described it..maybe one day if i ever go to Armenia, i'll go to Georgia aswell

You'll enjoy it! Some of my favorite places there were Sochi, Pitsunda and Gagra and I vaguely remember Tbilisi. It's really breathtaking and Pitsunda is adorned with pine trees so you can imagine the scent in the air. Aaa and magnolias are like nothing I've ever seen, their smell is very potent though, but smell it long enough and you will surely get a splitting headache.

I am getting all excited just from reading your post. Yep that is exactly how I imagined it to be!
Regarding understanding people without knowing the language, well you certainly have special skills that I would only dream of acquiring, for I have no idea how to do it.

Barcelona is simply my dream, it has everything I’ve ever dreamt of seeing. Gaudi’s architecture, Dali’s and Picasso’s museums have been on my list of sites to see. I’d like to visit Alhambra as well, the Moorish architecture amazes me. And talk about a combination of cafes, flamenco and a vicious bullfight that I have to see at least once in my life. Yep, Spain has everything.

San Sebastian I heard is glorious for its Mediterranean beach beauty. I’ve been told it’s one of the most pleasant places in Spain.

Ibiza, I wouldn’t set my foot there. There is nothing for me that South Beach and Cancun can’t offer. I simply wouldn’t waste my money to go across the world to party with a coked up bunch.

Madrid, pretty much everyone has told me the same thing. It’s very standard like any cosmopolitan city and people are snobby.

What about people in Spain, did you find them friendly?

[dstyle]

Everywhere i went people were friendly, more or less, I seriously expected more problems because we were from the US. Its wierd but they could tell in a second with us just standing there that we weren't from europe, i dont know.
the only person that we had a problem with was in france, we got into an argument with him, and then he asked our names, and when we said it, hes like wait your armenian, were like ya, hes like ok sorry i didnt know. lol and left. that was cool.

the people were very nice in every country, the coldest people were probs the british. but overall coudnl't be any better. the girls were nice 2 us as well.

about ibiza, in my opinion it was highly overrated.

Until barcelona, san sebastian was my favorite, its just the people are so different there, everyones so inviting. if you go theres this burger place called american burger, it really doesnt taste like burgers from here, but theyre very good. only place open after 3 am.
oh and for the guys that read this, barcelona by far had the hottest girls, and they were international
