我是一個背囊﹣別了巴塞隆那的這夜

那天我從貨架上跑到你的肩膊上，那天你給我一位同伴在我懷內，它有很多照片，也有你背著我的照片，它有音樂，有遊戲，有你的工作行曆。天天天天，更多同伴在我懷內。

你背著我，我抱著他們，踏上一段一段路途。我們喜悅在和風日照，緊擁在飛舞雪天，無懼雷轟暴雨。正是我們彼此相依的一個小天地。

這天這貪婪的無耻的，把我們奪走。無奈看著，焦急徨恐的你在人群中愈漸渺小。

最後我們被帶到這幽黯房內，眼前滿是淩亂雜物，灰塵揚起光線下，有一縷一縷別人的回憶從這堆雜物堆中溜走往窗外，身旁傳來一陣斷斷續續的聲音 “很快你的記憶與感覺也會這樣消逝，誰會留戀這裡的貪婪與疾妒” 。

昨夜，雲影月移，一晃一盪我隨著窗外的光影遠飄，回望背影下這一切，在我的回憶快要消逝的這刻，要說一聲感激曾與你同行，是你人生的努力賦予我的生命。那些歲月，那些回憶，散聚這月夜下，淡淡雲梢，影遠映去。

今天，我只不過是一個背囊，它是一個平版電腦，它是一個錢包.......

Palau Nacional de Montjuic, Barcelona, Spain

Palau Nacional de Montjuic has several art museums inside. Even if you don't feel like going in, it's worth visiting here just to see the buildings around this area.

*Photo 1. They reserve the outer wall and built a shopping mall inside.

2/3. I took a risk of taking photos in the middle of the road.

Barcelona seaside, Spain

This city has changed so much from my last visit (12 years ago). The only landmark I could recognise is that metallic bird on photo 6. Photo 1 shows the newly established W hotel on the far right end.

La Botiga Mediterranean restaurant, Barcelona, Spain

The restaurant highlighted its paella (Spanish fried rice). Personally I don't like paella much, or I can say I don't like fried rice much, because I prefer the original rice flavour - steamed rice. What's more, some unnecessary bits like clam's shell can be easily left in the rice that it can get you some oral wound. Cooking seafood for such a long time also spoils the original sweetness of seafood. Back to the paella of this restaurant, it's a bit salty to me though it's still pretty good as compared to the others I have tried. Anyway, this restaurant is pretty nice, especially their tomato bread (photo 3). Toasted bread with tomato puree and paste. Very fresh and sweet tomatoes in Spain! The salad (photo 4) and the pan seared tuna (photo 6) are quite nice but just a bit too much of olive oil.

St. Josep Market, La Rambla, Barcelona, Spain

As I asked the hotel front desk about a market I once visited (12 years ago), I got a reply now everything has changed. My vague memory the market was in front of a big circle with a nice green restaurant called Olive serving my favourite Gazpacho (chilled tomato soup). Finally I gotta be back here but it's really changed a lot and the restaurant was gone too. This trip of Barcelona is really another 180 degree experience to me and it looks like it's a new place.
