Post-MWC: Day One in Barcelona

After I picked Ms. Chan up from the airport, we headed straight to the Museo de Picasso, luggage and all. We couldn't take pictures inside the gallery, but the first picture is what a courtyard in the museum looked like. We then traversed around the gothic quarter, and went up the Barcelona Cathedral, which is so beautiful -- and amazing that it was completed in 1448! 

We then made our way to Caso Battlo, one of Gaudi's famous buildings, and then walked down Las Ramblas, and made a short detour into La Boqueria. 

Mobile World Congress

Thanks to my wonderful company, I was able to take a trip to Barcelona for the annual Mobile World Congress, where major tech companies unveil their latest products and technologies. It's where Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S7 Edge, and where LG announced the modular G5. 

Here are a few photos from the convention. I'll have a follow up post of photos from my three-day work-free weekend in Barcelona with the wonderful Yaling Chan.

Ringing in the New Year in Quebec City

Yaling and I headed straight to Quebec City a few minutes after the clock struck midnight on January 1, 2016. Apart from trekking through the snow-laden winter wonderland that is Old Quebec, we also took part in what is now my favorite activity — dog sledding!

We first stopped by the Museum of Fine Arts.

These sculptures were made of whalebone.

The front of the Parliament building.

The ramparts.

Chateau Frontenac — a big fancy hotel.

We arrived at Chenil la Poursuite to some adorable puppies!

My partner in crime. :)

Away we go!

Stopped by tepee to keep warm. There was coffee, hot chocolate, and cookies too!

Look at this handsome fella.

Yaling took this fantastic shot!

The steps of Montmorency Falls was closed off because of the snow unfortunately. 

The Museum of Feelings

The Museum of Feelings, located near Brookfield Place, is a temporary sensory exhibit that's sponsored by Glade. The building's exterior changes color to reflect the the mood of the city, by gathering data through social media.

Inside you'll find different rooms representing a myriad of emotions, such as joyful, exhilarated and calm. Each room also emanates a scent that represents the emotion. While the wait can be long, it's well worth taking a trip to lower Manhattan to experience this small museum. The exhibit will end on December 15.
