I was watching it in the neighbourhood of El Raval, and every shop with a TV set had the match on; tonight alone, you could have walked into any bar to gawk at the screen and it didn&8217;t matter you weren&8217;t ordering anything: nobody ...http://popagandhi.com/746/proxima-estacio-espana/ Weve Run Out of Aubergines- June 29, 2008 Boy, what fun. (And what good food!) The man in that psychedelic Moritz beer jacket is the bouncerannouncer at Inopia. He goes to the corner of the stairs and shouts messages from the kitchen, like&8230; we&8217;ve run out of aubergines! People usually clap after every announcement. No idea why either, but it&8217;s all good fun. I ...http://popagandhi.com/745/weve-run-out-of-aubergines/ Growing Up, Doing Stuff- June 27, 2008 Somewhere inside a dusty local bar near Park G&252;ell, Barcelona, I&8217;m sitting at the counter with a fork hanging out of the left side of my mouth and the rest of my body utterly fixated on page 39 of Things Fall Apart. I don&8217;t know where I am, and I mean it literally and otherwise. ...http://popagandhi.com/744/growing-up-doing-stuff/ Barcelona, Barri by Barri- June 26, 2008 Hello. There will be no picture with this post. All too many posts about travel have a picture here, and a picture there, all the better to illustrate that I&8217;mhereandyou&8217;renot effect postcards once had, back when we still sent them. Where am I That depends on when you ask. When this journey began I found ...http://popagandhi.com/743/barcelona-barri-by-barri/ A Selection from Borneo- June 13, 2008 Because &8220;you don&8217;t post pictures of yourself anymoreeee&8221;, because I&8217;m bored and cold in Perpignan, and because my mum is awake at 6am in Singapore and probably checking my blog. I look totally Iban, don&8217;t I. That Tshirt underneath that says &8220;Pickles are cucumbers soaked in evil&8221; gives away my tribal-ness. This one&8217;s for my darling ah ...http://popagandhi.com/742/a-selection-from-borneo/ Marseille, and Europe so Far- June 11, 2008 This entire trip has been unplanned and spontaneous&8212;I don&8217;t usually travel that way. Typically I&8217;m the sort of crazy planner who needs to know exactly where to go, when I&8217;m going, how, how much it&8217;ll cost me. I&8217;m not sure what changed on this trip but all I knew was that I had a ticket ...http://popagandhi.com/741/marseille-and-europe-so-far/ Longhouse Days- June 3, 2008 5 am, this morning. I don&8217;t know how, but I&8217;m in Amsterdam. Stepping out of a KLM plane at Schipol to be exact, half an hour ahead of schedule. If I feel dead, I have good reason to be. 5 am, yesterday. I&8217;m leaving a longhouse called Entalau, where I&8217;ve been for the past couple of ...http://popagandhi.com/740/longhouse-days/ |
