When I visited Barcelona I was trying hard to shake off the just-another-European-city feeling. In moments like those, the small things in a city start to surprise you.
In a Barcelona restaurant, enjoying sangria and paella, a Sri Lankan waiter befriended my group (after catching the eye of my Sri Lankan friend) and generously gave us two rounds of free shots. Moments later we were giggling down Las Ramblas, singing in Tesco and had almost caught the wrong train back to our hotel.
The most important thing the waiter taught us was the correct way to say paella. PAY-YELL-AH! Hand gestures are necessary when ordering as well.
