A week ago, me and some of my fellow classmates traveled to Barcelona, Spain. I honestly knew nothing about the city before we left except 1) they speak Spanish and 2) The Sagrada Familia. And the only reason I knew about the second item was because of The Cheetah Girls 2. While basing my entire experience on the song "Strut" (and others), I discovered that the movie made everything seem a lot easier to get to.
1. During the song "Strut", the Cheetah Girls are skipping down the street La Rambla in all their glory. And then they jump to Park Guell which is a huge park up on the top of a hill. Well we were expecting to be able to get to the park very easily. But that did not happen because we discovered it was a 50 minute walk from La Sagrada Familia.
2. Random guys with guitars do not follow you around in uncrowded streets.
3. It was so hot there and meanwhile, the Cheetah Girls are making it look like they never break a sweat.
4 The Dancing Cat is not a real place where we can watch people perform fabulous songs like "Step Up".
5. You have to pay to get into Park Guell (well at least the mosaic part created by Antonio Gaudi). The Cheetah Girls made it look like you could just walk right up those stairs and strut your stuff.
But even though it may not have been what I was expecting, it was still an awesome time!
