Somehow I feel the atomsphere on the dance floor is not as good or crazy as before, everywhere in the world, especially in Korea. People don't dance to strangers eagerly any more, but try to only the familar ones or celebrities. However, Barcelona seemed better in that sense. I could meet new intersting dancers, some with cool, unique styels. Some dancers recognized us and thanked for the inspiration. 

After-party.

The leftover from Colom Poblenou made a great after-dance snack. However, I've bought a couple of cans of beer from a small supermarket near the hotel after midnight. When I tried to carry them in hands, they stopped because it's illegal to sell alcohols at night. 

 

ChatGPT: In Barcelona, local rules make it illegal to sell alcoholic drinks in public spaces and in shops/supermarkets during certain hours to reduce public drinking and disorder:

🕐 Alcohol sale restrictions

• You cannot sell alcohol in public spaces (street vending, kiosks, etc.) **from **🕙 22:00 (10 pm) to 08:00 (8 am) — this includes street and online sales that deliver during that time. Barcelona.cat+1

🍺 What this means in practice

• Supermarkets / shops must stop selling alcohol by 10 pm, and can only resume at 8 am the next day. This restriction applies to take-away sales, not to bars/restaurants. ajuntament.barcelona.cat

• Bars, pubs, and restaurants can still serve alcohol inside during their normal licensed hours (often into the early morning) — the restriction is specific to sale outside of on-site consumption and public space vending. ajuntament.barcelona.cat

• Buying or supply (including delivery) of alcohol in that 22:00–08:00 window is also forbidden except at licensed venues. Barcelona.cat

🚫 Other related rules

• Drinking alcohol in public (on the street) is prohibited and can lead to fines, regardless of the hour. ajuntament.barcelona.cat

If you’re planning to buy alcohol to enjoy later, make sure you purchase before 10 pm — otherwise you’ll need to go to a bar/restaurant that is serving alcohol at night.

An Asian drinking beer while walking in the midnight seemed pretty much like a ganster, and it was practically illegal.
