Grad trip ^^

Back from my 2wks europe grad trip with my fav pharm girls <3 It was really tiring at times, lugging our heavy luggage around every 1/2 days to go to a different hotel or apartment. Had difficulty handling my luggage at first and my dears were always ever-ready to help me! Thought i was strong but turned out otherwise. But, I am glad to say after a few days, I managed to lift my luggage up the steep stairs myself =D Really thankful for this experience and had loads of fun even though I cant rmb most of the places we went to hahaha and they started entertaining themselves by quizzing me. Had a lot of epic experiences this trip and I believe they will be etched in my memory.

Shall list down some of the most epic moments in case I forget haha:

1)Missing trains:
Forgot that the train carriages will split and ended up taking the wrong carriage back to the same station. Waited for 1h for the next train. Then, while on board the next train, I went to the toilet which was quite far away and they were so scared when they couldnt find me. Ended up missing the stop and had to alight at the next one. Waited for another 1.5h before the correct train arrived. In the end, we spent 4h to arrive in Gengenbaurg which was actl a short journey. Thankfully, we found the situation amusing and just self-entertained. So glad they didnt blame me hahaha

2)Overfriendly foreigners:
At a park in i-forgot-where-heh, an angmoh told jiayuan that his asian friend was interested in making friends with her ahhahaha.
At a cafe, one of the waiter kept touching jiaying and even refused to let her leave and we had to pull her away and ran away tgt hahaha.
Outside a bar, a random guy suddenly pulled my leg and rested his head on my leg, refusing to budge until clement pulled him away.


3)Drinking adventures
Drank almost everyday during the trip hahah during the first few nights in Paris, zhixue treated us to beers and wines. In germany, we went to stuggart which is this super chill place with great food and their beers was quite nice but didnt get to try the dark ones though :( Then clement brought us to this bar in Belgium with over 200 beers from the tap which was kinda cool, but some of the beers tasted awful. Played some games cos sj and jy couldnt drink and we wanted to finish the drinks. Then went to the irish bar beside our hostel in Amsterdam and had my fav guinness. The next day, clement's friends brought us to the Molly Malone irish bar and had guinness again. Had fun interacting with the super tall guy johnathan and his other friends. Boarded a ferry to the eye museum where there was this super nice cafe=D

4) Cruises
Cruises were my favouritest part of the trip esp the one down rhine valley=D So grateful it didnt rain and we got to enjoy the scenic view! Took the chairlift and what was epic was our long-distance sprint from chairlift back to pier to catch our ferry. I managed to sprint to the pier just in time to ask the person to let us on board cos the ferry was actl preparing to depart alr. Hahaha we were all out of breath cos the dist was not a joke. HAHA sj jy they all commented that I was better in running than walking and climbing stairs. Cos during philosopher's walk, I was a total walking zombie with my shades on and just forcing myself to walk. hahaha dunno why I always felt dazed during the day and my energy level was up only during evening and night. Jy said I had reverse jetlag hahaha

5)Amsterdam red light district
HAHAH this was truly an eye-opening experience. The streets of Amsterdam in the day is totally different from that in the night time. Sexy girls wearing bikinis and some even in lingerie were hidden behind glass panels and they would flirt with guys on the streets. Wouldnt trust any guy who stayed in Amsterdam for a long period of time hahah

Ok, that would be all for now =D Can't wait for jiayuan and angeline to upload our photos then I can better recall more stuff that happened!^^
