Singapore, the way back home

The cheapest way to get back to Barcelona was through Singapore, a quite long 14-hour flight. Since Phuket is relatively close to Singapore there are many flights a day connecting the cities so I decided to fly early and spend the whole day in Singapore, as the flight to Barcelona is on midnight.
Singapore was really incredible, reminded me the financial district of Hong Kong, with those huge malls and street crossings through buildings. Although Singapore seems to be much cleaner, organized and with a lot less people, maybe beacuse of the fact that today is Sunday, but sometimes I was just walking alone through incredible streets and views. I loved in particular the building in the photo, a ship on top of 3 huge skyscrapers, absolutely breathtaking.
So now it’s time to finally go back home…
I can assure this was the most interesting experience of my life and will always encourage people to travel whenever they can.
Here some facts about the whole trip:

• I’ve seen the moon grow from left to right, from right to left and bottom up, I don’t know why for me this was quite interesting :).
• I’ve spent time with people from all races and religions you can imagine and I’ve seen them smile, cry, fight and love their own way, that was one of the most interesting things apart from the sightseeing. I’ve shared interesting talks with hundreds of people, stories about their countries and lives.
• I’ve been in the mountains, in the sea, in the desert, in over 40 cities around the world from busy to quiet ones.
• About 50 copies of my album Piano Tango are now in some people’s homes around the world.
• My trip included the 2 cities where I lived before Barcelona: Buenos Aires and New York. I had lots of flashbacks there of course.
• I turned 35 on a plane.
• I travelled by plane, bus, train, car, boat and even kayak.
• In 5 cities I stayed with friends who invited me.
• I’ve been wearing 3 different pairs of shoes, walked so much that I destroyed 2 different pairs of shoes, my record was 8 hours non-stop walking in San Francisco, from the city center to the bridge coast and back.

Finally, I want to say that everybody always asks me what place I liked the most, and I can never answer that question, I simply don’t know, I wasn’t looking for my place on earth, that place is Barcelona for now and won’t change in the short term. What I liked the most is being able to travel while working, while playing some concerts, and while meeting more and more people all over the world.

So, this is it! I hope writing about the experience in this blog had inspired someone somewhere.
