46 European Nights

i was brutally ROBBED! deep shit!

ok! am in Amsterdam! got here early this morning. 0445HRS and it was pouring man! got soooooooo wet and it was so darn cold! was freezing! hostels do not take check in till like 830 onwards. really sucked, as i roamed the cold wet streets alone scouring for a hostel. got me feeling so sad! never felt so bad since i left home. its like my last leg of my adventure and i forsee its gonna be the worse few days. aint gonna be as happening as the past one month. amsterdam! the city of sin and vices! walk around the streets like i did just now.. and u can smell weed in the air. they dont smoke no mormal ciggies.. they puff weed, hemp, grass and such. round everycorner they have their infamous coffee shops - legalised weed puffing shops. hahahha! got to my hostel and was at the reception. wierd reception. its in the cellar and all around fellow travellers who have poured in from all over the world, not to see amsterdam, but rather to get high on drugs and loose themselves puffing weed. remeber the song "i like to teach the world to sing"? try singing this to its tune "i like to teach the world to smoke, to smoke their lives away. smoke hemp and weed, and marlboro, and sometimes Salem too..." besides that alcohol is cheap. 1 euro for a mug of beer. good beer. Tiger cant even compare. and take awalk around another streets, strip bars, whore houses, porn peddlars. they,re everywhere! at least back home when it comes to prostition we have our more decent 'fishtanks' in Geylang, but here.. its like along the streets! its like window shopping! really quite a sight. tried to see the dykes today. if u didnt know amsterdam is in netherlands, and netherlands is built on land reclaimed in a special way. its not conventional. so they've got dykes errected all around the place to how out the see. Isjemmer.. thats their famous lake. tried cycling there. got lost. never got to see the dykes, but at least i got to cycle! in europe u.ve gotta cycle at least once, cos thats how most locals get from place to place. but its kinda confusing cos am used to keep left. its keep right for traffic here. ok... till my next blog

4 days till Paris. tonight i am gonna take a night bus to Amsterdam! yeah i would really love to stay in Berlin. its a really nice city. compared to Munich, Berlin is way better. its the culture, the peeps and everything. totally different from the south. the peeps areway easier. so nice that i got myself a berlin t-shirt! Berlins got lotsa gothic looking punks. wanted so much to talk to one of them. met one at a club 2 nights ago, he told me to visit the LAST CATHERAL cafe.. its a gothic styled bar. i went there. sheesh, u´ve gotta see my pics. skeletons and demmonic art everywhere. thot i would see lotsa punks. i wanna ask them if they dress like that, cos they´ve got a statement to make. but met none there. cos it was a raining cold wet evening. got back to the hostel after a drnink and yay! met another punk there. a mild one. but was happy enuff! took a picture with her. there were these 2 brit english gurls in my dorm. thot me to play silly card games and how to mimic an english brit slang. hillarious. anyway all for now!

ok yes... today is the 22nd. count down 6 days till Paris! 6 days till sharing a hotel room with mum and grandma.. or view it positively 6 days till a good warm hearty meal with family. its a trade off.. day 2 in Berlin. woke up around 1000. cos was really tired. had a long car ride to Berlin yesterday and the moment i checked in, put my bags down headed off to town, and did a big city walk. so was naturally kinda worn out today. lazily got out of bed and planned my itenary. was supposed to go see quite a few stuff plus a LITTLE shopping. ended up.. spent all my time SHOPPING! hahahha! John´s gone mad! for once i splurged sooooo much all at one time. spent like 40Euros on? H&M! thats europe´s giordano if u didnt know what H&M was. not that cheap, but its UK fashion, reasonable compared to the other brands! Big sis! if u´re reading this! now i know why u asked me to go shop at H&M! hahahhahha! bought 2 bottoms from there. then i got a T-shirt from somewhere else. i´m finally spending money. all the time i´ve spent buying things for other peeps. finally did some shopping for myself! went to the palace in Berlin in the evining. it was drizzling a little. had pasta for dinner and went back to the hostel. tried on all my new clothes. am very happy today. think i´´m gonna take a shower, then go chill at the hostel´s bar. see who´s going where tonight. have gotta party here. the clubbing scene´s really happening. been seeing all the adverts and stuff they´ve got on the metro and what not. flyers and pamphlets... ok all for now. Tschuss!

i didnt talk abt the Dachau concentration camp did i. anyway it was raining, blasted cold wet weather. i felt so depressed when i woke up that morning. set the moood just for the concentration camp. it was a totally depressing place i tell ya. reminds me a lil of pulau tekong when i first enlsited. spent the entire day there. saw how the inmates were tortured. took lotsa pictures. there were the gas chambers disguised as 'mass showers' so that the peeps will walk in willingly. then the death chambers and the living quaters. brrrr... anyway yeps.. all for munich. am in berlin now. something i´ve got on my mind bvut i havent told anybody abt it was how i was planning to get to Berlin! see now a train cost like 88Euro = 180SGD and takes like 6HRS. a slower train cost 30 Euros(60SGD) and will take 11 hours with multiple changes. means i´ve gotta get off and get on and different stops before i finally get to Berlin. that means leaving me no time to catch a snooze since i´ve gotta be always on the look out what stop is coming up. now howabt 32Euros, get a chance to speed down the German AutoBahn at a speed of 200KMPH in a alphaRomeo and get a experience of what hitching a ride is like? woah ho! of course i took the last choice! hhahha! its one of the popular forms of transport in germany, esp with students and its safer than hitch hiking becos someone knows where u are going. the company that is, who hooked me up with a driver who was going from munich to berlin. yeah... it was scary i tell ya initially. if u´re driver imagine driving at 5th gear and ur REV is like 5000+ imagine how fast is that. and thats just the crusing speed on the autobahn! yeps got to Berlin in slightly less then 6 hrs! got to my hostel. woah! another nice hostel. its awesome i tell u! wait till u see my pics! went on a walking tour. was pretty glad that weather cleared up in the late afternoon. there was sunshine finally. went to see checkpt charlie and the museum. and then walked around town. had traditonal berlin food for dinner. CurryWurst. curry hotdog. and boy i tell u the berliners can really take spicy food. finished that up with a big Fuji apple. so am very full now. got back to the hostel to the CHEERS of England´s win. ok all for now... till my next blog. Tschuss!

its supposed to be summer in Europe, but this yr, the locals in Germany didnt really consider it a summer. cos its been wet and chilly. the kinda bone chilling kinda cold. brrrr... went to the Neuschuwenstein castle yesterday. its awesome, just that the weather was a lil unmerciful. was pouring. the castles up on the hill, so gotta hike up. and then down again. got caught in the rain on the way down, so made a dash for it. ran from the castle all the way to the trainstation. dont know the distance, but its kinda like a 40min walk. so yeah. castle´s supposed to be build by king ludwig. llludwig was obessed with caasstles. embarked on major bulding plans that almost bankrupted the coutry, and in the end, a top secret government initiative, got the doctors to fake a med report that ludwig,s a lil cracknut, get him off the throne. after the castle, went to the BMW museum. was supposed to do a factory tour but it was booked out for the next few months. and then walked over to this arts and music festival thats supposed to be going on for the next 25 days. something like a large scale pasar malam back home, but this time with lotsa live band, loud music, lots and lots of BEER. went clubbing last night. it was friday night. what did u expect? stay in the hostel and sleep? narh, no time to sleep. too much to see and do. save the sleep for the train man! its awesome i tell you. they´ve got like a clubbing town! its a small lil town.. maybe if u draw a boundary, it´d be taka, wisma, tangs, luck plaza, paragon. yeah.. and in it... there are all kinds of pups. lots and lots of clubs and pups. they even have a map at the main entrance to the 'clubbbing city' say where is where and whats playing. awesome! hahahaha! but it was wet weather. otherwise i´m sure it´d really ROCK! today i went to the science museum. the Germans are really good at this kinda engineering and science stuff i must say. its one of the best museums i´ve ever seen. not that i´ve been to many, but its really impressive! if i visited that museum earlier. i´d defitnely have renewed interest in physics, enough to ace my Alevel paper. singapore´s science centre cant even be compared to it. spent half a day there playing with all their exhibits. talk a lil abt back home. i know... they cut NS by 6 months! what the heck man! talked abt this all the time while i was in NS. and when i ORD. finally ORD! they shorten the liability. but still... never mind lar. nothing beats this: ORD lo! hahahahha! 10 days till Paris. thats like 10 days till my adventure ends. sigh.. mix feelings. its like i so wanna meet my family. check into some nice HOTEL. note.. HOTEL no S between the O and the T! have a good meal. nice warm meal TOGETHER. something that i've not done in a while. but at the same time.. i wanna go to more places! there´s so much i have NOT seen! yeah... talking abt that. today i ate traditional bavarian food for dinner. bavaria is like a region or state that munich is in. bayern u can say. thats why the name bayern munich. its called. schweinhaxe! pronunce svine harkser. its pigs trotter, roasted, and then cooked in a stew. served with a sticky rice ball with salad as starters. mmmmm! completed with a beer of course. whats a bavarian meal without a beer? and i saw this sign today tha says 'save water.. drink beer!' that really speaks lots abt their beer dirnking culture! ok.. enuff said. going back to my hostel. wonder if there´s any party tonight. a lil reluctant to go, cos its really lousy weather. till my next blog!

am in munich! and ths internet cafe is like one of the cheapest. super hightech. there are like hundreds of computers for use here. and there´s no counter to register. u go to a machine, slot in a coin, then they print a receipt wth some numbers. somethng like an id. then u jsut sit at any free termnal. key in the id and u can surf for the amout u paid. cool! so how was salzburg? well its a pretty little town. LTTTLE town. really small. everything is like within walkable distance, with lotsa green hills, and baroque archictecture. pleasant, but boring. they´ve got nice beer tho. Steigl thats the name. u see that.. u can boast and tell peeps its not just austrian brew, its Salzburg brew! apparently monks in europe brew their own beer. thats like long time ago. so i guess thats why they have a happy church. i always thot like associating monks with beer is some kinda joke we crack but hey NO! cos certain tmes of the year they fast, so the beer they brew is suppose to give them the ample nourishment. i dont know how true that is. but oh well... food for the ears. so just listen. lets see today i walked around town, seen most of the main sights. dont talk to be abt museums cos i´ve given up on them. so just snooped around. tomrorow i´m going to the fairytale castle that inspired WaltDisney. the schueweinstein castle! its gonna be one full day spent there. so yeah that leaves me with one day more in munich. i´m trying to get a BMW factory tour. see how it goes. if not i´ll just visit the BMW museum. after that i´ll visit the Dachau concentration camp. yeps.. thats my up coming program. lets pray for fine weather. its been good so far. ok... all for now. countdown to Paris will begin soon. tommorrow will be 10 days to Paris! 10 days to a stay in a luxurious HOTEL. enuff of this shit hole hostels with queer peeps lurking around every corner. that night this brazillian suddenly spoke to me at the stairway "i cant speak good english, but if u cant get a girl tonght, we can play together. u know what i mean play together, i know very little english, but we can have fun together" i was freaked man! HAHAHA! never spoke to him again. avoided him everywhwere. sheesh!

ok this is gonna be a short one cos i´m sharing the internet with another guy. so its half hour each. anyway am leaving for munich tomorrow. yeps. went for the sound of music tour today. sucks big time. money and time could be more wisely spent. but well.. learn from mistakes. had kebab for dinner. apparently kebab aint too turkish. had its origins in Berlin. and austria´s quite near germany, so the peeps eat quite common things. ok. all for now. till i get to Munich. awfveederzeen!

another update? surprise that it came soooo soon? haha anyway found this cheaper place. and i´m free so yeah, just update to tell u what i´ve been up to. suppose to go see the sound of music tour today. its like a tour that takes u to all the places that sound of music was screened. then its a common thing that hostels in salzburg screen sound of music everyday. so i thot i would watch that show in the morning and go for the tour in the afternoon. after all its been a while since i watched it. its good to refresh myself. at least the tour would then make more sense. yeah but when i got to the room that the classic was supposed to be screened, there was no show for today cos there was a meeting taking place. so i thot narh i shant do the tour without watching it. so i decided to do it tomorrow. so what am i to do today, ICE caves! rushed straight to my room, dug out my warm clothes and headed for the train station, take a short train ride to Werfren, small town from which i can take a cable car to see the ice caves. met this 2 americans and a british gal along the way. yeah so it wasnt so lonely and cold. narh it was COLD freezing in the caves. had so much fun puffing smoke outta my mouth. the 3 of them would thinmk that i am mad and childish, but hey cant blame this lil asian sunshine kid man. never been to cold places. coldest was propbably my toshiba freezer at home. put my hand in thats the most i did. hee. its an interesting cave like the cold winter air kinda sinks to the bottom of the cave and cos of some air pressure it rushes out and cools the water in the cave and u see the stalatites and mites. yeah but too bad no pictures but it was really neat. no articifiial lighting was installed inside to preserve its natural state so we carried oil lamps, and the tour guide lit magnesium strips to illuminate the caves. really has a mysterious feel. and like the ice that forms, has funny shapes, so if u let ya imagination run while, u could see this immaginery shaggy mamoth. apparently it used to be more distinct but the ice was melting cos its summer, so now its becoming a camel. gee. and u could see the walls of ice, like they´ve got wavey patterns, supposed to be carved by the wind. very cool. literally and metaphorically. really froze in there. so cold that my nose was numb. couldnt feel it. haha! yeps. tomorrow is sound of music tour then maybe i´d see the trick fountains thursday morning and i´m off to munich. all for now. gotta get back to the hostel.

okie.. dammit. i spent couple of euros in this internet cafe in Vienna, typed out one long story and damm couldnt post it. it always happens. hope it doesnt happen here cos this cafe cost 3 times as much! anyway, the past 2 days i was in Vienna. i totally love Vienna. its a cool town. really really cool. just walk down the streets and you´d know why. its a very arty farty town. and yeah it was a good change from italy. Vienna is hip and happening, party town and its a very technologically advanced and environmentally concsious society. yeah anyway gotta talk abt my hostel. its called Wombats. swell hostel man! party place! there´s like a bar inside and everynight everyone just hangs out there, cheer soccer drink and chat. i´ve got a favvy drink now. its called the yagerbomb! taste really good. come to think of it. been dirnking quite abit cos alocolhol is priced not cheaper than spore, its just that its the same price as other beverages. not like in singapore. u see the distinct difference between alcoholic and non-A drinks. yeps. went clubbing in Vienna, this time with a bunch of crazy australians. tell u the aussies are party animals! had a really fun time. yeah! would really love to stay longer in Vienna, but i cant really change my plans now. coming closer to meeting my family in paris. so here i am, as planned, arrived in salzburg this morning. its a pretty lil town. tomorrow i am going on a sound of music tour. its like the pride of salzburg. cos its filmed there, u know its a classic! so i am going to see all the spots they filmed sound of music. ok all for now. time´s run out "so long, farewell, awf vee der zeen, aidieu!"

okie i took a night train. not 7hrs. 9hrs altogether. met this bunch of thai students who shared my cabin. of all the asians i've met, seems like i'm the ONLY one going for suchan adventure at sucha tender age. anyway am in venice. just went to the ghettos. made me think back of my sec sch days, when i did merchant of venice - pound of flesh for literature. shylock! yes yes that was his name! haha! venice is a busy town. beautiful? not really. its really crowded esp on the public transport. they've got what u call water taxis. yepz. and of course i'd be a fool to spend money on a gondola. they're out to rip tourists off man. 800euros for one ride? my goodness. anyway lets talk abt naples. this jap guy told me if i went naples i had to eat seafood since it was a bayside city. so yes had seafood at naples. mmm mmm mmmm! its good i tell ya! super tasty. ate the funny shellfish and octopus. they've got these baby octopuses the size of ya palm. and u just eat them. yepz. alright lets talk abt italy as a whole. its a cock up place i conclude. talk abt art, history and culture. yes yes they're good, but cant appreciate much of it. other than that... italy sucks! super dirty city, see the trash pile up on the streets and nobody clears it. and i came up with this rule. where there are dogs, there will be dog poo. so watch out. these italian beggers are mad, they rather feed their dogs then themselves. like my jap fren told me.. italians got fashion but no function. yes everything doesnt work. we were comparing how things move smoothly in singapore and japan. can u imagine like the info help desk has a sign that says be back in 2 minutes and u wait for half an hour before anyone comes back. italians i say are damm blardee laziee bunch of peeps. all dont wanna work. that's italian culture for me. genearlly the older folk are grouchy, thy seem to have something against asians. but the younger peeps are much warmer and nicer. and very very much more helpful. so yeah... seen the good the bad and the ugly. all for now... am trying to book air tix to see if i can fly abt in germany. its more effective that way. ciao!

Ciao! thats how italians say HI! alright here's the latest update on what mischief i've been up to in Rome. you know what they say never take the Metro at night, dont go out when it gets dark. HAHAHAHA! i went CLUBBING in ROMA! WoooooHoooooooooo! there was this bunch of american kids and an austrian (he reminds me of shaggy in scooby doo) and a venuzelian and of course me the only asian. so yeah! bet i've seen Rome in a way that most of u who have been there havent. anyway we got back to the hostel abt like 3am and guess what, nobody's sleeping, the rest were drinking and watching VCD! hahaha! happening place it tell you! but darn i didnt bring a camera along. whoever clubs with cameras. so didnt get to capture that moment on picture. got up early next morning. must be the after effects of NS. u just gotta get out of bed by a certain time in the morning. went to the vatican again, thot could see the pope give his sunday mass. but darn... he wasnt there. then i went round all the sights. after all this is gonna be my last day in Rome. Got to see the Trevi fountain, Spanish steps. and if you're thinking that spanish peeps built those steps. i think not. more like the Spanians i think. like they've got spartan roman or what not. bah.. i suck at this. shall read up more of it when i get on the train before i dump my guide to Rome away. then i went to see the Roman forum. expecteed to see rome in all its splendour and *GASP!* for a moment i thot those peace protestors got a lil unpeaceful and tore down the whole place man. hahha! its all just a pile of rubble. looks darn artificial. but anwyay, still took pics. tried to compose my pic to make it look better. but can imagine if my grandma went there. walked all the long way around those ruins. she'd be cursing in cantonese why can all the way just to see these rotten stones. well that's Rome! came back around 2100 today. and those americans, the venuzelian, the austrian are going out pratying again! was tempted to, but low on cash. gotta watch it. hee! so i politely declined. anyway got a morning train tomorrow anyway. they told me to trash my travel plans and go to Greece with them. wassup with them man!? to me... peeps come and go. so i shall just move on with what i've planned and see who else i meet along the way. its kinda like Lord of the rings. they're like my fellowship. ok lets see what i'ev eaten in italy. i've tasted the Pizzas on the streets. boy they're good. then there's panini. their sandwich. just had dinner at an italian fastfood store. they served panini, fries and a bottle of lemon tea for just SGD12. but its considered very reasonable there. so yeah. its called mr. Panino btw. interesting name! then i had latte machiato. if u went to italy, you've gotta sit on one of those piazas (squares, large empty spaces) esp those that are high up, they've got a terrace and there's a good view of the entire city. yeah. go sit there maybe at one of those cafes and sip a cuppa latte machiato. its a total italian feel! then of course not forgetting the gelato's on the hot summer afternoons. so much for italy. still got another week of italy to go. lets see what else is there. tomorrow i'll be off to Naples. get there around noon, walk around then thats abt it. next time if any of u's travelling. never plan to get to a new city over the weekend. cos all the info offices are close. yepz. very impt! tuesday i'll probably make a day excursion from naples to pompeii. and wednesday i'll make a day excursion to Capri island! lets hope for fine weather, esp for capri island. and then thursday i'll take train to Venice. see how it shall be. wonder if its gonna be a night train, cos its a 7hr ride. sheesh. ok... all for now. lets hope i'll get to update my blog soon again. keep checking!

heya all! yes yes where did i last stop. ah ah Karen! anyway never got to meet Karen again. Florence was nice, but 3nights was enuff, so headed towards Rome my next destination. decided to stop over in Sienna. boy sienna is beautiful! but that cock up city! there's no public toilets! public toilets cost like um SGD1$ and they close like 1830. so whaddya expect me to do if i feel the call of nature after that time? piss on the streets? bingo! thats what i did man! ahahhah! acnt blame me. after 2yrs in the army, when u wanna piss, first instinct is to look around. u get what i mean. ahha! after a day of Sienna, went back to the hostel and guess who i met at the reception!? Karen! hahahha! she's my "yo yuen ren" i tell you! hahha! so i bought her a drink. sat down and we had a chat. really when u're travelling alone. its these kinda special peeps u meet along the way that brightens ur day. next morning at breakfast met my yo yuen ren again. she was rushing off to the trainstation. then i took my time, had breaky, then went off to the trainstation and guess who i saw! Karen agauin. had an hour to wait for my bus that takes me to rome, so we had some chit chat again. talked abt places we've seen. that's when i got ideas of travelling furter down south from Rome. Prolly leave on tuesday morning on even monday morning. going down to Naples, See Capri island and Pompeii. we'll see how it goes. before i make a U turn and head up to Venice. anyway i sum up my stay in Florence, its got an ugly skyline. climbed up the clock tower, looked around and i thot it was Mars i was looking at. all the red tile roofs. damm boring. but i enjoyed strolling down the streets in the hot afternoon sun and eating Gelato! listening to a basker play his saxaphone. best feeling in the world! that's florence for me! anyway am in rome now and guess what bush is in town too! last evening i was walking around the colloseum then i saw the peace protestors. and you know what they say, that the heart of Rome is in the MOB so i just had to go with them. so i did a anti bush protest walk! cool man! hahahha! everybody is like PEACE! hahahha! its really big scale, gotta see my pics. see how the riot police were like on standby. choppers all around prolly bush's snipers ready to snipe any terrorist. haha! but well. i did something that i'd never do in S'pore. Protest! hahha! this morning i went to the Vatican! WOAH! pictures or even videos aint enuff to express the grandeur i tell you! its AWESOME! remmebr um.. what's that show.. gladiator! can imagine myself like a roman general.. then ride in that chariot down the streets towards the vatican! woah! u've gotta see it for yourself. AWESOME! but the sistine was a lil let down. expected something more woah! but well it was still beautiful nonetheless. ok.. all for now. more to come...

alright... i'm in Firenze! and what the hell? everybody speaks italiano. if i carry on in this town, i'll soon speak english with that italiaNO accent. haha! i go to the infromation counter, i say parla eenglezie? they say no. i go to the bus info counter, they say no too. what's up with the italians man!? anyway, i'll give a summary abt my stay in switz! really happy in that sense that i did everything that i set out too. really given myself a chance to live like a swiss. i hiked in the mountains/hills, i took cable cars, sat in their metro and trains (they call it SBB), learnt to speak german, speak to locals in german, tried swtizerland brewed beer, ate cheese fondue, paragladed, see the snow mountains. the only thing i didnt do i felt was to get around on a bicycle. seems really easy riding a bike form place to place, but then i thot.. switz is full of hilly areas and slopes and stuff, it sure is easy riding down hill.. but how the heck am i suppose to ride up hill. so i gave up the idea, better then left stranded with a bike. yepz... got onto a night train that took me to firenze. bah... its not fun at all. lets talk abt the peeps i met. got to the trainstation, there i met this 3 american gals, they were at my youth hostel and we were headed for the same train. listened to them bitch abt how their credit card got eaten by the machine. and ya know what, they took a picture of me dozing off at the park. super embarrasing! and they said they took it cos they had this feeling that we'd bump into each other on the train to italy, and they just needed somebody to make fun off. what the heck man! on the train, in my lil cabin, there was this american couple. looking at them, i really thank goodness that i'm alone! the gal was a total bitch! grouchy, tired and stuff, then i guess the guy was like so sick of her nonsense, cant be bothered with her. then i was stuck there with them. oh man... then that gal was like "i cant sleep without sheets, not gonna sleep on this beds without pillows" and what not. haiz... i couldnt be bothered.. just gave them ALL of my stuff, chose the most inconvenient bed, climbed up and just slept. leave them to whine. wouldnt want to do a night train again, but at least i can now say ive experienced it. if u didnt know, i kinda overpsent in switz, not yet out of my budget, but its getting to an uncomfortable level. so i was super happy when they probided breakfast on the train! just bread and a packet of orange juice. one meal settled. then cos the american couple left in rush, didnt take their breakfast, i swipped them off as well.. kinda like emergency rations. u never know when u'd need it. lets talk abt how i ate them. it was damm pathetic. was sitting on the steps infront of the doumou. lunch time, then i didnt wanna spend, cos have yet to walk thru the streets to see which is the cheapest place to eat. so i took out my bread. and hey there was a packet of sugar inside! meant for the coffee that came with breakfast, so i sprinked the sugar on the bread, ate it like a funny looking doughnut. there was this itallian who sat behind me, so i spoke to him over lunch. he was from Naples, and he was just passing thru firenze. got him to teach me italian. haha! i wrote it han-yu-pin-yin style, and he was quite amused by it. mee-dis-pia-che non-parlo-italiano! sorry i cant speak italian! hahaha! got to my hostel. villa camerata! sounds nice eh? looks nice too! i must take a photo of it. but when u get to the rooms. AHEM! ok lar... can do. hee! there's this internet cafe located just outside my hostel, so here i am. and guess who i met on the way to the internet cafe? cos the weathers kinda nice, so i was wearing my ACS tanktop.. was walking then suddenly "are u singaporean?" i said yes.. "acs! must be" haha! here again.. another new fren. karen's her name. supposed to go back to meet her for a chat, so update u peeps more next time. ciao! hey dont make me sound desperate lar.. drop me some emails can? really brightens my day. haha!
