well,i haven´t been to many night spots yet,so i can´t say which are the best. but i like the maremagnum and the maria cubi night spots.i guess all the cafes here have their own speciality and its nice to try out different cafes,bars and night spots at different times.should visit all the tourist spots in barcelona.its really wonderful. i have yet to visit many places.

HousingType of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
i chosed an apartment because it is the best for me. i can use all the facilities in the apartment and its so easy for me.besides that,the landlady is also living in the apartment,so its easier if i have any problems or anything to ask about barcelona,i can always ask her about it.

Personal comments
from what i heard from the other exchange students who lived in the residencia sarria,they said that the price for a double bedroom is very high and the rooms are so small.so from my point of view,residencia sarria should lower down the rates of the rooms as we are all students and we can´t afford to pay so much.

well,i guess it was ok. at times,when the locals speak fast, then i will have to tell them to slow down or maybe if i don´t understand what they said, will try to ask them to repeat or explain it in another way.
