I am starting to think that Valentine's day is popular only in the English speaking world. Before going to the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona two weeks ago, I stopped by London for a day and saw all the heart shape objects on the streets and everywhere. However, I hardly saw any of those in Barcelona (not even street vendors selling flowers), which, made me less sad about being alone that day. :)
I was in a pre-MWC event for two days where I had to pitch a project to some potential business partners. So, I was pretty much working all day on V-day and at the end of the day I ate by myself at a tapas place near the Olympic Stadium.
Like most of the cities in Europe, Barcelona is a romantic place. Spanish boys are very attractive and they liked to follow me around. I had all the chances when I could have had a trip fling with anyone of them but I didn't. I just don't think it was a right thing to do.
In fact, I was not totally alone. I have a long-term, reliable relationship with my shinny, smooth, warm, and loyal 15' MacBook Pro to keep me companied. I was very content. :)
And, I love you, Internet...
