And it seems that Spanish culture is the next big European interest to me after French culture. While i still holds the passion for Bonjour and Crossiants, Hola and Jamon has slowly become the next big thing to me.
After coming out from the fantsy labyrinth, Lawrence and i went deep down to the sea, watching Paz Vega exploring her sexual world ala Lucia Y El Sexo. (Sex and Lucia)
Story is simple: Lucia, a waitress, found out that her writer boyfriend, Lorenzo, goes missing. Thus, she escapes to an island to rediscover herself, while at the same time, the island reminds her of her sexual escapade with Lorenzo 6 years ago.
The verdict: It's like watching Spanish porn with a taste of art. While the story is divided between Lucia and Sex, the presentation seems to be a mess. And eventually, it ends up a mess. No proper stream of flow of the story, with nothing but today, 6 years ago, sex between Lucia and Lorenzo, Lucia and Carols (a fisherman she met in the island) and Lorenzo's romance with Elena (a friend of Carlos) and Belen, a good friend.
And here comes the 2nd exploration with Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's Babel. The Spanish director behind Amores Perroes and 21 Grams now brings us the last chapter of Trilogy of Choices. Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchette, Gael Garcia Bernal, Adriano Barazza and Rinko Kikuchi delivers us with the story of love, responsiblilty, sex, tension, barriers and hopelessness.
Babel leaves a bittersweet after taste, just like drinking Chivas with Coke. It's bitter, it's sweet, and it makes you drunk.
8pm was the time i meet up Jess and headed straight to Cafe Del Mar, located at Siloso Beach.
Le Crazy Horse Paris set up its 1st performance venue in Asia at Singapore, and it fails. Spain's Cafe Del Mar set up its 1st overseas outlet in Singapore, and it seems to be a hit, even though the official opening was held last weekend.
We had Chivas with Pepsi, and uh-huh, we saw 2 girls goes skinny dipping in the beach. Wow.
Should i say that was just some form of compensation to us for unable to find a bed to lie down to?? =)
