那天要回家之前，R拿了報紙給我。當時我沒聽清楚他說甚麼，想說我又看不懂西班牙文，仍胡亂收下就走了。結果今天仔細一看，是一份在巴塞隆納的英文週報。名字叫做BCN Week。(BCN是巴塞隆納的簡稱)風格輕鬆有趣，編排還弄的不錯。才發行了三個禮拜。
類似The Village Voice或是破報，會刊登影評、樂評或是其他不同的活動訊息。但是好像比較偏藝文、玩樂或是搞笑，很多是寫外國人在巴塞隆納的經驗，目前看不太到政治批判的東西。
有一個專欄叫做「BCN Unplugged」。就是記者在咖啡廳或是餐廳訪問路人，或是偷偷記下別人的對話。讓我很想發笑。
(In Catalan): This is shit. Barcelona doesn’t want to be New York.
(In Catalan): You don’t want the rest of the world to think Barcelona as great as New York?
喔，還有一篇Rober D.E. Sr.寫的是Anti-Sonar 2005(反音樂節)深得我心。
“Now I remember why I don’t go raves. They suck!!! OK, come on, let’s go find some music and take some drugs. Things can only get better. Pills, and thrills, ……….This is the worst party in my life. How can all these people be having a good time. What are they enjoying? I’m bewildered. Am I old? Is this the official Park/dust bowl that’s fast resembling a waste dump, there are no toilets, no shades, the music sucks, it’s 40 degrees and we’re all on drugs. This is not fun!!! God, I HATE fucking hippy ravers!”
另，因為BCNWeek的廣告發現了一家二手英文書店。
BCNWEEK有把pdf放在網路上讓你下載，有興趣可以看看。
