Something about Madrid
is Magical.
马德里的故事
马德里，怎么说呢，有一种淡淡的感觉。
我们住在了老城区。房间外面就是鹅卵石路。路两旁有很多的小商店，窗户摆设十分吸引人。
经过朋友推荐，我们吃到了一家日式的烧烤餐厅，网评很好，但我觉得还行。就记得了餐点最后的十分稀有的日本哈密瓜。餐厅所在的区域很宜居，我记得散步的时候非常轻松。有种想要住在这里的感觉。在西班牙的时候，我开始看了看Digital Nomad签证的可能性。做做白日梦是可以的吧。
Madrid Story
Madrid, hmm… is airy, but “heavy” at the same time. I don’t mean it as a bad thing. Heavy as in: vivid art, cobblestoned old town, taxi rides with the city flying by, and walking out of a neighborhood and meeting the walls of El Retiro Park.
We visited a Japanese yakiniku restaurant based on a friend’s recommendation. Good reviews on Google Maps, but the meal was not particularly memorable, except for the sweet melon at the end that was apparently a rarity (it came with a certificate of authenticity). I don’t remember how it tasted per se, but I do remember the walk we took before dinner. The neighborhood that the restaurant was in was very calming.
I looked up the digital nomad visa five days after I landed in Spain. I was in Valencia, having just visited Barcelona, but then when I got to Madrid, this idea felt even more compelling.
Well it doesn’t hurt to daydream from time to time, especially when one is in a flow.
