I woke up around 1 this afternoon and decided to go do some shopping on my own. Right now they're having Las Rebajas, or the after-holiday sales, so everything is really, really marked down and a good time to replenish my seriously sparse wardrobe. I liked walking around alone though. It's not dangerous during the day, but you are prone to pickpockets if you look like a tourist so it's good to know where you're going.
I took the bus to Las Ramblas and walked around a bit. They have this strange thing where street vendors sell animals all along the streets - live ones like a pet store. It's so bizarre but really fun to see. They had a lot of birds, bunnies, hamsters ... very interesting. I also went into the food market which is kind of set back a bit. It was really cool with a bunch of stalls with meat, fruit, bread, everything and all fresh. I really want to do my grocery shopping there if I can figure out when it's open and everything. Good cultural experience!
