I went downtown the other day to buy some blank DVDs. The best place in Barcelona to buy anything related to computers is around Ronda Sant Antoni and Calle Sepulveda – two streets just below the University that are filled with computer stores. And there’s always a line of people out the door. Each store must see hundreds of different people every day. Depending on what I’m looking for, I usually know the best place with the best price so I don’t waste my time searching from shop to shop.

One of my favorite stores is a little one on the corner called Revolution. They don’t have a very large selection, but they usually have good deals on whatever they carry. Plus, there’s this girl that works at the counter who I think is very attractive (in a not-conventionally-attractive sort of way, if you know what I mean). I only make my rounds around the computer shops once every few months – I am by no means a regular. So it was a real shock when the girl behind the counter at Revolution smiled at me and said, “Hey, you’ve changed your hair!” My day was made.
