Night view on the main street, 'Grand Via'
After another tow hours flight from Barcelona, we had arrived to Madrid , the capital of Spain. Madrid is a heart of the Spain, I will aspect many happening and people here. Every time we travel, we will like to visit the capital of that country, it is because we think most of the greatest sources, entertainments, attraction spots and special identities will be concentrated in the capital. Ya, it is not wrong, but may be it was only true if we say it in last 50 years. Globalization has almost brought the identity to every city, shopping centre, Starbuck, branded shop, international style high-rise, pubs, metro line and so on. However, each city still remain their own unique life-style and culture. For me, the events of the people was more attraction then the physical structure in Madrid.
带着不舍的心情离开的巴塞罗纳来到了西班牙的首都，马德里。虽说马德里建城有600年的历史，但近50年的全球化和资本主义的大环境下也就慢慢变的与其他大城市相同的面貌。大街上都是麦当劳，ZARA，Nike，和商业广场，都是世界各地都能看到的景象。话虽如此，当地人还会有一些全球化抹不去的生活习惯，比如他们喜欢看歌舞剧，喜欢吃火腿肉，喜欢吃Tapas（西班牙最出名的小吃）和喜欢斗牛。而欣赏这些独有的生活品味会比在Starbuck喝杯咖啡来的有意义。每次旅行我不敢奢望现有的首都里会带来什么新鲜玩意，因为新的玩意我可能在吉隆坡或在新加坡，又或者在爱丁堡伦敦看过玩过吃过。真不敢想像50年后我们的子孙游玩世界各地后会有不会觉得这世界原来那么的单调！？
In fact this kind of view I have been captured many times in different cities
