Column|The Life-and-Death Struggle in the Bullring

by YU-LING 2014-07-08
YU-LING

This July, I visited Pamplona, Spain. It was my first time participating in the Running of the Bulls, and my first time witnessing up close the life-and-death struggle between the bull and the matador in the bullring. Six bulls' lives were taken right before my eyes, and the artificially created jubilation made me feel even more alienated from my surroundings.

Spain ◦ Segovia|Acueducto of Segovia and Alcázar of Segovia

Segovia, located to the north of Spain's capital, Madrid, boasts an old town and an aqueduct, both recognized as UNESCO World Heritage sites. The Acueducto de Segovia is not only the best-preserved ancient Roman relic on the Iberian Peninsula, but it is also an iconic symbol of Segovia. Two kilometers away from the aqueduct stands the Alcázar de Segovia, which gained fame as an inspiration for Disney's castles.

Spain ◦ Madrid|Casa Hernanz: The Century-Old Espadrilles Shop

by YU-LING 2014-07-04
YU-LING

While wandering around the city, I unexpectedly found a shoe store that had a long line of people waiting outside. Every time the door opened, I would peek inside and see that it was packed with customers! Interestingly, whenever the door opened, someone would leave, carrying numerous bags of shoes, as if they were free.

Column|Similarities Between Ballet and Wrestling

by YU-LING 2014-07-03
YU-LING

The first thing I did when I arrived in Madrid was to find out which shows were currently playing in the local theaters. The performance of "Swan Lake" at the Teatro de la Luz Philips Gran Vía caught my eye. Even though I wasn't particularly fond of this ballet, I was glad I decided to experience it in the theater. The highlight of the performance was Anna Scechaleva's brilliant portrayal of both the White and Black Swan.

Spain ◦ Food|Braised Oxtail and Cold Soup

by YU-LING 2014-06-22

While traveling in southern Spain, braised oxtail (Rabo de Toro) quickly became my favorite dish. It was a culinary delight so heavenly that I could indulge in it repeatedly without ever growing tired! With one bite, the rich flavor spreads from the gelatinous texture of the oxtail, providing an unforgettable and smooth sensation.
