♥ 9:39 pm
it wasn't great to be back. down with tonsillitis ever since SQ 319 landed at Changi Airport, so this is my first time blogging about my trip, and whatever i've been thinking about ever since CNY.
I could give a city by city run-down of my trip, which i will shortly, but the experience of travelling along alone with a bunch of guys is really different then with your parents. You have to be careful, and watch out for one another. quite different.
Ok
London:
I love London. It's easy to get around, and people aren't so judgy about Asian dudes here. Vibes in London are always great, olden architecture mixed with modern culture and amenities. awesome. Necessities are almost everywhere, with Sainsbury and Tesco all just around the corner.
Liverpool:
A much smaller city, with Anfield obviously being the main attraction, but we still got lost trying to find a Tesco at 2300hrs, and got caught in snow and hail. Still pleasant enough.
Glasgow:
Too dark and gloomy and night, didn't see much of it in the day. Architecture at Glasgow Central Train station was good though.
The Scottish Highlands:
Better in summer, but still great in winter. You could picture Scottish clansmen charging down, claymore in hand, hewing down rows of Redcoats.
Edinburgh:
Typical Scottish city, castles and the Royal Mile, and not much else.
Madrid:
Rather unsafe, people not as friendly as in Barcelona, hard to find a fast food. But Chinese storekeepers do help in pointing out thieves.
Barcelona:
Much much nicer that Madrid, with better weather and more friendly people.
Paris:
Helps if you speak French, but no city in the world oozes such class and atas-ness
Ok now that i'm back from Europe, i have a few priorities
1) Find a bloody job
2) Start reading some of my legal books
3) Solve my other problem
3 would be hard, but i must do it. There's too much in common for me to throw it away.
