17. Barcelona. We are all ordinary. We are all boring. We are all spectacular. We are all shy. We are all bold. We are all heroes. We are all helpless. It just depends on the day.

For all my international friends: September 11th, is the National Day of Catalonia. We commemorate the 1714 military defeat after a year-long siege on Barcelona. The new king, from the House of Bourbon, overrode all the political rights of Catalonia and even forbade Catalan to be spoken or taught in schools. During these 300 years of military occupation of Spain on Catalonia, we the Catalans have fought for our rights, on some brighter and darker periods. This year a big demonstration is going to take place in Barcelona. We will defend our cultural, political and historical rights. Opinion polls show more than 50% of people would vote for secession from Spain in a referendum. Spain is a burden for our economical and cultural development. Thanks for your time reading this, and maybe even for your support to our cause :)

Just adding: This does not mean that we forget the victims of the 11S at New York. So for us, this is a sad day too. Respect.
