Life's been pretty busy since the holiday ended, I barely have the time to breathe!
What did I do during the holiday??
Ah yes, I went to a 10 days trip to east Europe, Poland and Hungary to be exact. Kinda strange to think of it, of all the places, I actually choose to go there and not France or Italy. (I have been staying for 1 year in Germany and yet still haven't visit her neighbour France, lolz)
It was rather fun actually to go to places that not many people go. There are not many Asian there, so basically you can imagine that we are the only Asian in the whole city at that time, and it feels great! The things there are pretty cheap, very much like Malaysia, with several so-called the biggest shopping complex in Central Europe that are on par with Malaysia's shopping mall. That's why I bought a lot of stuff! Hehe, I have bought a pair of good quality trekking shoes, a pair of jeans, a jacket and a shirt. Perhaps for a girl this is considered nothing, but for me it's what I can buy in a year, so it's really considered a lot for me. =D The exchange rate for Poland's currency is 4:1 compare with Euro. So it felt almost like using Ringgit Malaysia there, haha. The Hungary's exchange rate is about 240:1, when I exchanged 50 Euro I get like about more than 10 thousand, the amount is very scary man, lolz.
I almost forgot. We went to a place called Zakopane. It's a small town that lies in a large valley between the Tatra Mountains and Gubałówka Hill. It is informally known as "the winter capital of Poland". It is the most important Polish center of mountaineering and skiing, and is visited annually by some three million tourists. I learned ski there (finally!) for the 1st time! =P It was very hard to learn ski on your own, that's what I did, and I failed miserably. Lolz. I think I fall down more than 50 times before I gave up. So I ended up taking up an one-hour ski course and tada... I can ski! I never fell down anymore after taking the course, it's such a big difference between before and after, hehe. The course isn't that expensive anyway since it's in Poland, hehe, if I were to learn it in Germany, it would have cost a bomb. Anyway, previously I have fall in love with ski, now I'm deeply in love with it. I would love to go ski again!
We came back just 2 days before the class started again. And, I lost 2 of my camera's memory cards. That's why there's no picture of my trip this time. Very sad indeed. But still, it's a very enjoyable trip. I would love to go to Poland again. It can be regarded as a temporary replacement of Malaysia's shopping mall, hehe. And most importantly, there's Zakopane! During the summer time it's a good place for hiking too! Maybe my next summer's target. =D
Last Saturday night I went to Stuttgart and sing karaoke with friends, and then play mahjong throughout the night without sleep (again) at Esslingen. Yesterday came back Mannheim and felt like my body don't belong to me. Had a hair cut by Jian Nong yesterday and basically now I have a square head. =D
Today, well, I'm sick, down with a running nose. I guess it's due to what I did on Saturday night, Teehee. Now, I feel really sleepy. That's all for today. =P
