Europe - The Vibrant, The Rich, The Messy, The Fun Loving

Part of Rome

Seen a lot of pictures of friends who went to Europe lately, especially from Wivinia. Had spent the entire evening watching pictures with her few weeks ago! amazing. yes the pictures are amazing but the places are even more so!

long have i wanted to go to europe, to see n listen n taste n feel the different rich cultures europe possess (pickpocket as well, but bcoz I am Malaysia-trained, just imagine KL, so should be ok), yet I have only been to 2 countries, Ireland and France. I don regard Ireland as Europe enough as it's very similar 2 UK. Do like Irish music and the countryside tho, dont get me wrong. France, even till now, I really like the language of French.

I am determined, very determined, to do my Europe trip before/after my graduation. the more time the better. I don care even if i do it alone(1 of the reasons i didn't embark mine for the past few years), i don mind doing it alone. But on the brighter note YS might be joining (must do it in Amsterdam YS, we must go see the show!) and I still have some KK frens in manchester, might 'pancing' / '溜' them to join me. really hope we can go over a lot of places in europe that time, summer 2010.

Was thinking of going to see Neuschwanstein Castle / New Swan Castle in Bavaria, Munich, Germany for the x'mas holz, but it's not cheap. might just do a big scotland wales england roadtrip instead. When i saw pictures of Germany, the River Rhine, Heiderberg ( or something like tat), n BEAUFORT in Luxemborg <-haha , no, germany in general, i really like the feel. it's pretty, it's just breath taking! Planning and hoping to bring my parents to see Neuschwanstein Castle when they are over, and Rome. hopefully, hopefully.

People have always adored Australia. Yes i like it there as well, but it's lacking something, something of a mixture, some dimension. I can go to France for a weekend, go skiing in the Italian Alps, Swiss Alps, those aren't things you can really do in Australia for a weekend. Then again, if you don't like Europe, the arguments go the other way. But Europe, (western, specifically) is so rich of history,culture,music, and food. it's a good breakaway, where you want something different, something that offers a challenge, somewhere that doesn't speak English, Mandarin (cantonese is fine haha). Yes, Europe is 古老, and it is here, where we heard so much of the stories of our childhood times, stories in games.

Eventho sometimes life is a bit bored, a bit of a pain over here, i still relinquish it. Probably I like being different. When loads of people go 2 place X and Y , I go to place A. This way, it makes it harder for me, but hey, we learn most during the hard times. If everything is already in place, organized for you, what have you to learn? You might argue, why learn so much?

it's because I believe we are all here to learn from this world and the world, is our teacher.
