Greetings from Germany!!!
wow wow it's nearly the end of my trip now...i've taken like millions of pictures now (had to actually buy one more 2GB memory card) I really want to upload those pictures now but then this stupid computer in this hotel doesn't locked up their cpu thingy so BOO.
Oh well, I'll start uploading it when i get to london in a few days time or when i'm in malaysia in about 2 weeks time. Alright ...just an update...
Day1- LondonIt's my 2nd time in London now!
The tour hasn't started yet...so my oldest sister was our so called "tour leader" of the day. We took tubes (trains) everywhere to see the good old tourist attractions like big ban, castles, and did some shopping too!
What did I buy? - Nothing! (surprise hey)
Day 2- ParisThis is the day where my tour officially started.. Woke up at 4am...There are 45 people in my tour group..all from different countries...USA, Australia, South Africa and Canada...First day is always quite werid..people think we're non english speaking people from China...but bleh when I start talking they'll know that i'm a true malaysian!
Our tour leader's name is Victor- He talks soooooo much in the bus- This history that history... I couldn't sleep at all...being in a tour is quite bad...unlike schooling, I have to wake up at 6am everyday...listen to sooo many instructions...where to meet what time to meet...feels like school...and when we don't do the right thing..he (the tour leader) gets angry and actually tells us off
Anyway, it was new year's eve and I went to the eiffel tower at night..it was greeat..the lightings comes out at 9am, just like those christmas tree lights.....took sooo many pictures...even took one for my softtoy..lol
I know NOTHING about european histroy...absolutely nothing..but after this trip...I kinda have an idea now..at least I'll see Napolean as a great king in France but not as my make up brand now..LOL....
Man after going to paris, I've decided that Paris is going to be one of my choice for honeymoon!
and when guys speak french..they naturally look very romantic and nice..so even if i'm not a guy..I think i'll start taking french lessons once i go back! (oo aand i want to learn japanese too..anyone wants to learn with me?)
Oh yeah I went to see Moulin Rouge today...seriously they dance naked (well topless) in almost every single scene...guys you'll love this...for me...yeah..I enjoy the dancing..the culture..and also it's actually the first time where there are like 50 boobs of different sizes infront of me...great explore...especially those with fake ones...i feel like laughing...nah but seriously even gay guys will turn straight after watching this..
Day3- Christmas in Paris!Went to the eiffel tower agaaaain....but this time I actually went all the way up to see the whole of france...it like a dream...maaan..i seriously hope i can start posting pictures up now...it doesn't sound nice when there's no pictures on my blog- and what? how can there be no pictures in gelato-gelati...it's usually pictures more than words!lol
Didn't shop at all so money spent in Paris= $O
Day4 SwitzWent up to the alps....it was sooo beautiful..had snow everywhere...took great pictures..had great exercise climbing up the mountains as well!
People say yeah yeah this is the place to get watches cause most of them are manufactured from here but oh please it's a waste of time...you can get the same thing with the same price in Australia...but my mum bought a CK watch just for the sake of getting it cause her old watch ran out of battery but oh well so long she's happy.
I HAD to spend money in switz cause I ran out of memory space on my camera after 4 days...
so money spent so far= $50
Day 5- MilanMilan..the shoppnig paradise! sounds like a place where gloria will have lots of fun in...but NO...we were only given like 50 minutes to shop and bleh dad decided to buy mum a gucci bag and sister bought a wallet for herself but seriously all these shops here are sooooo unaffordable for me...
Money spent in Milan= $0
Day 6+7 - RomeRome is one of the most boring place ...for me... Besides Michelangelo.. I didn't really enjoy the romans history/ancient buildings there...and why? cause I didn't pay attention in Year 8 history class lol..i had mrs warmsely okay..
Went to the sisten chapel which was greaaaat...Michelangelo is just soooo talented...the V something musuem was..."okay"...and the colesium just makes me feel like watching gladiator again! Went to this underground 2AD tomb which was quite scary..
and lastly went to trevi fountain and made a wisssssh!
Had a pizza party dinner today with italian musicians around... it was a great party cause this is where i got to know those people much better...and after 2 hours...we became great friends!
and yay I finally bought an affodable brandless handbag from rome!
Money spent in Rome- $30
Day 8- FlorenceI"LL NEVER GO BACK TO FLORENCE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE...CAUSE GUESS WHAT HAPPENED HERE? I GOT PICKEDPOCKET! SERIOUSLY I WAS SO PISSED OFF...ABOUT 200-300 BUX GONE....(dw pris even if your money is gone i'll still get you your foundation)
CREDIT CARD GONE, ATM CARD GONE, DRIVING LICENSE GONE OMGOSH I CAN'T BELIEVE IT... I WAS SO ANGRY BECAUSE I'VE BEEN SO CAUTIOUS WITH MY BAG THROUGHOUT ITALY, I NEVER OPENED MY BAG (besides taking my camera out)
AND I ACTUALLY "SANDWICHED" MY BAG SO TIGHTLY IN BETWEEN MY ARMPIT..WATCHING EVERYWHERE BUT STILL I'M THE UNLUCKY ONE ...STUPID PEOPLE. BLEH I WAS JUST SO ANGRY THAT DAY.money left= $0
Day 9- VeniceAfter that incident...I was jut so moody in the morning...not wanting to do anything...but after steping in to venice..I started smiling again...it gives me this peaceful feeling ( i was in a small town called burano with only 1500 living in there).... with all my money gone..i could only afford to get myself some murino glass jeweleries with 15 euro in my pocket...
Sat on the gondola at night... it feels soooo romantic...with music and everything ...man Venice is another place for my honeymoon.
Spent new years eve in Venice...and because as everyone know that their main transportation is boat and ferry...we couldn't get to the city area for countdown...
but stayed up to party, countdown with my new tour friends from all around the world..they're all about the same age so it was great! Glad I made so many new friends here... This was also the day which I drank my first full glass of alcohol! and why? It was just a coctail...and it was sweet....but my throat started burning after that..
Day 10- Austria and GermanyThis is where I am now- Germany. Stopped by Austria for a couple of hours to see the snow and sat on a horse carriage ... Going to continue my germany trip tomorrow...and because gladys is nagging at me now..I have to go.
More news and pictures to come!
Happy new year to all!
