I hope to find<br />

a cooking<br />

class to learn<br />

how to cook<br />

paella so I<br />

can treat my<br />

family and<br />

friends in my<br />

homeland of<br />

Danang, which<br />

boasts its own<br />

selection of<br />

fresh seafood.<br />

Viewing the sunset in Park Guell<br />

When I saw the film L'Auberge Espagnole, I was deeply<br />

impressed by the images of long, colorful, mosaic tile<br />

benches lining the sidewalks of Park Guell. During this<br />

trip, however, Park Guell gave me an interesting experience<br />

even beyond my imagination.<br />

I climbed up Three Crosses Hill in Park Guell with Maria and David,<br />

my two local friends. The hill offers the best panoramic view of<br />

Barcelona's blue sky and sea and green parks and open spaces. I spent<br />

hours enjoying the magnificent view from the summit. La Sagrada<br />

Familia Church stands imposingly next to the square-shaped housing<br />

blocks of Eixample District. A towering statue of Christopher Columbus<br />

stands at the end of La Rambla, pointing to the "New World". As I stood<br />

on the hill, I had a strange feeling, as if I myself had just come upon<br />

open and unclaimed territory as he thought he had 500 years ago.<br />

My desire to visit Park Guell had originated from my time as a student<br />

in the Erasmus exchange program. It was a wonderful opportunity to<br />

visit my dear friend, Maria Angeles Castillo in her homeland and enjoy<br />

a wonderful sunset together in Park Guell.<br />
