Only strange feeling I had was that I somehow felt like I've always lived there. It helped that Madrid felt so much like my native Seoul. It is strange why I felt that way, but I felt it nonetheless.
The very first site I saw on foot was the Temple of Debod. An Egyptian temple smack in the middle of the city.

We walked without map, without direction in our minds, but somehow, these little plazas found us.

Of course, recently in terms of the history of Spain. It is still much older than anything I would find around my house.

Madrid Edificio... |
No one would believe this beautiful and huge building is nothing more than a post office. It almost seems a waste, but at least the building exists with some purpose...
I have a feeling that such building would have turned into a historical landmark it were to exist here.

As old as this clock looks, I believe it was still working in perfect order. Something to be said about the craftsmanship of old aged things...

Parque Retiro was very interesting as well. It is a huge park...even with some unsavory characters hidden in the back parts. It has a really large man made lake where many people partook in boating.

Bolsa de Madrid |
It looks something like a indoor garde, but it is actually a train station! Whatever the weather is outside, inside, it is always warm and humid, like a tropical jungle. There is a really quaint little restaurant/coffee shop upstairs that one can relax while drinking cafe solo.

Estacion Atocha |
During the day, there were street performers and plaza was filled with people...mostly tourists of course. There are many outdoor tables where one can enjoy food or a cup of cafe.

Books and DVDs about Madrid:
Today software makes it easier than ever to make complex parts, outcome of|as a outcome of} the part form could be drawn virtually and then tool paths could be suggested by software to make these parts. Finding a precision machine shop that guarantees high-quality parts on time and for the best value is one thing. But whether or not that shop has what it takes to Mens Boxers ship on that promise is an entire completely different story. So, how will you pinpoint a superior precision machining partner in a sea of “good enough” shops?
