The Hostel/Pension and Street Scenes

Door of my hostel/pension. A big apartment turned into a pension.

The foyer of the building where the pension is.
With the interesting ceiling and lamp designs.

See Badtz Maru pictured, sitting by the balcony.

Haha! Yup, I brought a stuffed toy of my favorite Sanrio character with me. Thought it would be interesting to blog Badtz Maru traveling in Europe as well. Lol! :D


During the daytime, the weather was great. It’s sunny and not too hot or humid. But in the mornings as dawn breaks and when it gets dark, it is really chilly. The air is crisp, clean, and cool. I love this weather!

Madrid outside my balcony, getting busy as the morning draws on.
The Metro stop is just at the corner from my pension
(see the bottom right corner of the pic). Just cross this tiny calle. Cool!


In Madrid, when crossing the streets, as soon as your foot hits the pedestrian lane, cars slow down and give the pedestrian right of way.


Residential buildings across mine. Pedestrian traffic in the morning.
People on their way to work, etc.

Government building across. This is the view to the left.

This is the room. Not bad.

Quiet evening outside. It’s chilly.
