Huh. I went Googling - I hadn't realized Gaudi was officially Art Nouveau; most Nouveau seems so stately and elegant and Gaudi always feels like a brightly colored H.R. Giger.
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Prague would be slightly ahead of Barcelona for me, for ridiculous and vague gothy reasons. Plus, you could pick me up a bottle of absinthe! (I already have absinthe from Barcelona.)

Our wings are not tired.
Barcelona was a fantastic city. Plus, you can borrow my guide books! I loved it so much that I am seriously considering moving there at some point.
One thing, the language you'll hear in Barcelona is Catalan (a mixture of French, Spanish, and the other Romance languages), as Barcelona is part of the Catalonia region.

I like good vodka, but I generally order my vodka tonics with rail
What's rail? I assume it isn't literally, like, a plank or something in your drink.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Rail means it's made using whatever the normal alcohol is for the bar, not the premium ones.

Ah -- I had heard "well," but not "rail." Cool.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Rail/well could probably be used on those regional language maps.

With an added option for those of us who say "Have no clue what either mean". But I was raised by Temperance Union folks, so I'm woefully lacking in boozy vocabulary.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Barcelona was where I got food poisoning that landed me in the hospital for a week on my honeymoon! So um, I'd go with Prague.
