my favourite restaurants

Recommendations for this July in case you do not run off on holidays inmediately after the course is finished.
INDOCHINA
If Pan Asian cuisine is your cup of tea, head to carrer Aribau with Madrazo and you'll find the Indochina restaurant.They have three menus (vietnamese,cambodian and thai) and they are all yammy. You may spot some of the teachers from Operación Triunfo. They are regular costumers. Do not go if you don't like hot and spicy food.
ENVALIRA
A must if you are rambling through Gràcia is Envalira restaurant, also called antigua casa Gerardo. A Galician restaurant that has been run by the same family for ages. It used to feed the actors from the old Teatre Lliure which was nearby. Some of the actors still go there, although el Lliure has moved to Montjuic. Excellent paellas. Try also calamarçets a la planxa. You never get the same thing when you make them at home. Do not expect a fancy restaurant. It's simple, noisy, and cramped. That does not stop people from going there.
INOPIA
Feel just like nibbling? . Ferran Adrià's brother will take care of that.Very close to Mercat de Sant Antoni you will find the Inòpia restaurant. It's more a vermut place. It's informal, decontracté, a place very busy with tourists and locals alike. Warn you, it's not cheap ! I can't really give exact directions. It's somewhere around carrer Tamarit with Rocafort. Business hours are restricted to weekends.
Here's my choice. Any suggestions or comments will be greatly welcomed.

AMERICANA

Last Christmas holidays my husband and I spent 3 weeks driving around California. It was like being in a film. We loved it. Americans are so incredibly nice!

I had some problems though adjusting to their register in English. I mean, we were guys everywhere we went to, even at the registration desk of a good hotel, and how r ya guys doin always put me off because they really did not expect a proper answer. It was surprising too when you wouldn't be given a glass with your beer, again even in formal restaurants.

My husband took thousands of pictures ( Who f....ing invented digital cameras? Not to mention the whole f...again technologies). The geek part of my family is covered by my husband. It's hard to follow a photographer at heart when you are travelling, but the results make up for it.

Politics is one of my favourite conversation subjects.Having lived part of Franco's dictatorship being a schoolgirl and later a college student, made it difficult not to get concerned and involved. I've chosen Obama's campaign song because I have the feeling that some things are changing in American politics, and these changes are for good. Americans have a big issue with Obama, wondering whether the country is ready for a black president.We must keep in mind that although Obama stands for a new way of understanding what being American means, actually he is more conservative than what we would expect. Many people believe MacCain is finally going to be America's next president. What do you think? I have added a videobar with some youtube users opinions about US presidential elections. Worth having a look at.
