After that we took a train to reach a nearby lake, it's name is Titisee (sister of Tasik Titiwangsa =D)
The lake was partly frozen.
It was freezing cold and my hand was trembling hard trying to get some good pictures of these ducks.
The cold wind was blowing hard and I'm pretty sure my nose and ears almost came off while I was trying to take photograph. Brrrr~~
But anyway, it was quite an enjoyable experience for me. Haha. I find it to be quite exciting actually. Seriously, I don't really mind the cold. As I always said, I rather die in cold than in hot weather. =P
We went to the restaurant beside the lake to eat it's homemade black forest cake. It's one of the best! Highly recommended!
On Christmas's eve, we took a train to Paris. We planned to celebrate Christmas there.
First we went to visit Arc de Triomphe.
After that we walked down the main street and had some sight-seeing in the city.
At night, it began to rain. After we checked in our apartment, we went to see the Moulin Rouge. We didn't get inside though, haha.
The rain became quite heavy by the time we reached the Eiffel tower. It wasn't so enjoyable. Trying to get some pictures of the tower resulted in my totally wet camera. Luckily my camera is still alright.
The next day, we went to the Paris Disneyland. We went into the Disneyland Park first.
Here's the Disneyland castle!
This is Alice's Curious Labyrinth!
After that, we went to the Walt Disney Studio Park.
Etong's brother and me went to take some roller coasters. We went to this Hollywood Tower Hotel as well. It's actually a lift that let you free fall, quite exciting actually =D
The Disneyland castle at night!
We went to the Disneyland Village as well.
It was quite a sight actually, it's so colourful that it made my eyes felt colourful. Hehe.
There was this group of men that sang some Christmas songs. Then it struck me: Hey! Today is Christmas! Somehow I forgot it's Christmas. How strange. Something deep inside me stirred, as I watched Etong and her family together... I felt as if I'm out of place here...
It's the feel of loneliness... Homesick... I miss my mum and dad, my sisters and brother. Here I am, at a place so far away from home... I will go home, someday. I hope that day will come soon.
Basically we really spent the whole day at Disneyland, reached back to our apartment only at around midnight. We were really dead tired.
On the next day, which was also our last day in Paris, we went to see the Notre Dame.
And revisited the Eiffel tower again. Well, in daylight, the Eiffel tower is nothing more than just a tower made from besi buruk. Lol. So I tried to take some pictures of it from different perspectives.
I took this photo while we were walking towards the metro station. Everyone seems to be moving very fast, each with their own goal to reach...
We went to the Louvre museum as well. We didn't get inside though.
Waiting for the time to pass by as we walked around in the city.
Bought the famous macarons!
Finally, we took the night train and reached Mannheim at around 10 pm.
That's how I celebrated the Christmas this year =)
By the way, I just realized that my camera have gone through a lot with me this time. Together we were in freezing cold weather, got wet in rain and went up and down in roller coaster. My camera and me are real buddies now! =D
