Dinner and fireworks @ the Barcelona port. Tomorrow is a bank holiday (La Mercè).

This is the video I wanted to upload before my Nokia N93 "died". Note the footprint! I'm still wondering why there was only ONE... (I'm experiencing some technical difficulties when trying to insert the video from YouTube, so if you don't see it below, please visit youtube.com/watch?v=NunwADvdHcA.)

OK, so, we lost the game against Canada that I was "boasting" about in my previous post. However, it was strange, because everybody seemed to be really happy anyway (all the Finns, I mean). I was wondering why, and they said: "Hey, we did better than the Swedes and the Russians, so we didn't lose. Actually, we won." (For those who are not interested in ice hockey, Sweden and Russia are the "arch enemies" of Finland).

As I am not very much into sports myself, I wasn't really worried about winning or losing, but thinking about... cultural differences.

People usually say that the Spaniards are really "hot-blooded", passionate and all that, whereas the Finns are known as "cold" people who don't really express their feelings.

Yeah, right...

Let me show you a quick audiovisual comparison:

These are the passionate Spanish/Catalan people, seeing an FC Barcelona football game (Barça was winning):

...and these are the cold Finns, watching an ice hockey game (Finland was losing!):

Lunch break somewhere in Spain.
