Japan is like a giant candy shop for kids. What I mean by this is that there is so much from which to choose and everything looks good. Do I go for the old-fashioned candies, licorices, jellybeans, chocolates or a mixed bag? The choices can be overwhelming. However, you can rest assured that whatever you get, it is going to be good. Japan offers a mixed bag of experiences that range from historic to ultra modern, traditional to kitsch, super quiet to uber chaotic. Geishas vs. harajuku girls, temples vs. modern high-rises, cherry-blossom picnics vs. moss covered gardens – Japan has it all.

The building facades are colorfully painted and feature unusual doors and windows. Look down and the sewerage and water grates contain a decorative element. Look up and down, to your left and right, beauty is all around in Barcelona.

There is something about the food in Barcelona that just makes me feel good – good in the sense of comfort food. Even at the most sophisticated restaurants, there is quality that makes you feel warm and fuzzy. This should not be misconstrued to sound like I am comparing the food in Barcelona to American comfort food, which can be stodgy and heavy. To the contrary, the food experience in Barcelona is fresh and beguiling with flavors being the main headline. The key example of that it Pa amb Tomàquet, bread with tomato, garlic, olive oil and a sprinkle of salt.

I am one who loves to peer into little gardens behind gates and discover a small pocket park where I can rest my feet or have a picnic. I am always on the lookout for tiny squares where locals are relaxing and talking with one another.
Barcelona’s Hidden Courtyards is a great article that identifies some great parks and courtyards to explore in the Eixample neighborhood and provides links to some other ways to explore the neighborhoods. I highly recommend that you read this article. It will inspire you to take 1wrongturn.

Sometimes the best wrong turns are not physical but virtual. I cam across the following websites that provide great suggestions places that you would find only by taking wrong turns. Check them out!
