I'm back in Sweden~~!
whoa, this 10-day travelling/backpacking (10.5+3kg of load) is darn tiring i must say... walk, snap photos, walk, snap photos. And of cos, living on loaves of bread with jam/peanut butter. Life's hard eh? but occasionally we would buy nice pasta, pizza etc for dinner. And for italy, we cannot miss out their gelato!!! For every 200-300 metres, you will DEFINITELY see a (gelato) ice-cream store. definitely i tell u. shiok rite? well the price ranges from $3 to $5 for small/one scoop. hehe... it will make you broke if u eat them several times in a day. Well,
italy is a land of ice-cream.After Italy, we went to London and met up with Ed to put up in his apartment. Thanks ed and also his frens for the accomodation, nice breakfast and sorry for any inconveniences caused. >.<
oh oh, we went to watch a musical!! Yesh!!!
Les Miserables! paid for abt $66, for a upper circle seat at half price. hehehe... Broke... very broke but very worth it.
London, a land of musicals!! I can understand why ed burst his budget to watch so many musicals.
Now back to the solemn and chilly lund... haiz~~~work is piling and waiting for me... Came back this afternoon shagged. The only delightful thing happened is I saw a cat outside the laundry room! At first damn scary cos no one was ard and I was booking my slots at the screen. Suddenly something abit hard yet warm... and moving! touched my legs and rubbed against it. Luckily I didnt get too shocked to jump or scream. I simply looked down and saw this grey-striped cat!! OMG, my favourite type with white paws and underneath! It followed me around and kepet scratching and rubbing against me and the steps of the spiral staircase... so i think it's not that clean afterall. Well I get to touch it abit before asking a guy to carry it up to the ground floor. I got out of the block via the door and turned back to look at it through the glass....It looked at me and got frantic and it came running to the door and stood up on hind legs to 'piak' on the glass to look at me, and trying to get out. The sight was sooo cute yet heartaching and I had to squat down and looked at her up close. We were so close face to face, only to be separated by the thin glass. She wanna follow me badly... still I had to go... and I feel as though I have abandoned a child while he/she is desperate to reach me. Argh... wish i can keep her. She's so pretty....
Ok peeps, look forward to photos!! I think italy and london photos will take much time to sort out.... but will post copenhagen and germany ones first :p
I want to go to Italy too.... And London.... ARRR... the musical prices are so much cheaper than in Singapore! I'm paying 132 for the opening night of Phantom.
And Les Miserables is wonderful!
I envy you. That's it, i'm going to go on a Europe tour if possible when i graduate.
yock~ i will oso return to europe when i have the money after i work for some time...
mmm ur 132 is for a good seat rite? ours is the lousy upper circle seats where we dun get to see things up close and at the corners.
