well we stopped at munster because after that we went back to bs's place and had a bbq and packed for home. the plane ride home was torturous. i wasn't sure if i wanted to be back. face work. face new problems. face old problems. leave new interesting place that i think i will never have enough. still so much to see! though peiyong keeps saying i can't get used to life there i would think i will survive sooner or later. hmph.
pudong had the decency to finally place people at the transit lounge this time to serve us specially. saves us all the hassle. sheesh. it was a much pleasant experience though peiyong looked weary from all that waiting for flights. they were ALL late. both of them. terrible. guess not everyone is an on-time airline like ryanair. though crap i very much appreciate their effort and stay amused by their ads.
back in singapore i stuffed myself with food. and now i'm broke. i very much wanna cut my hair but can't do so. oh well. at least it's obedient. guess i just have to wait one more week for pay day! but maybe i still won't cut it yet. heh. got other things in priority list like paying bs his money back! so that he can eat in singapore. we're all bankrupt folks now. but it was all worth it.
with all that behind and past there are a few things i wanna say. i wanna thank bs and peiyong. bs for spending all the time planning the flights. though he tried to leave me behind several times i'm glad i made it through safely. i very much believed that the 2 guys kept me outta trouble. and i feel less wary cos i have 2 guys with me. HAHAHA. my two bodyguards (or horsies!). thank you guys. i'm sorry if i haven't been the best companion but i had fun all the same. a very peaceful trip without slip-ups. (which reminds me. peiyong! must go back to huan shen!) though many things were closed and under renovation. we came back in one piece without losing ourselves and any personal belongings.
we were supposed to list the places and hostels we've been to so here goes.
cities
- fussen (beautiful. need i say more?)
- lausanne (rested and relaxed)
- barcelona (only cos of the beach)
- venice (i appreciate everything being the way it is)
- rome (it was the most interesting place to walk and learn with many picture perfect moments)
- amsterdam (cos it encompasses all the nice things above. canals and houses kept in its grandeur like venice. no beach but the bikini babes are replaced by those in lingerie. not as beautiful as fussen but has a nostalgic feel to it like fussen. rested and relaxed. memorable.)
- prague (though the guys like it a lot i think i haven't seen enough to love it. but the hostel moves it up the ranking. i can't forget the courtyard.)
- paris (only cos they speak french)
- munich (wins 10 cos of good food!)
- berlin (for 9,10 well... if only they didn't tear down so many things. everything looks too new.)
- madrid (very nice place but the monuments can be better kept couldn't they?)
hostels
- lausanne guesthouse (perfect rooms. perfect kitchen. perfect toilets. save on sheets. big private lockers. nice hostel mates!)
- u melounu prague (perfect setting. clean rooms and toilets. lose to 1 by location in city and view from balcony. 1 is also bigger and more spacious.)
- heart of gold berlin (clean rooms and big toilet. no view. no kitchen.)
- los amigos madrid (nice room set-up. big windows. cooling. but shared bathroom.)
- hello bcn barcelona (top security. nice lobby. but room and toilet a little cramped and can do better on cleanliness)
- venice hotel (nice setting and good location by the nice courtyard. but was too hot and too many mosquitos!)
- for you munich (room is too cramped! toilet can be better!)
- m & j rome (cramped and dirty toilet. nice but deceiving lobby!)
- stay okay amsterdam (army camp? 8 wasn't as stuffy.)
- friends paris (cramped. dirty. low security. out of the way.)
a very refreshing trip before work starts.
