Had wanted to write a diary of this entire trip, but well, I was to lazy/preoccupied/busy. And since my friends are documenting their day to day lives here....I figured I should stop procrastinating too. Maybe once in awhile is fine.
Okay....shall Rewind back to the day we left for Stuttgart, which is on 21 April. The entire trip was kind of boring. Most of the time while the tour guide was talking, I was looking at a flock of pigeons/ducks. And we went to the Mercedes Benz museum, which didn't really impress me much so to say. Haha yah, that basically sums it up. Thereafter, we left for Munchen. The next morning, we went to the city centre where the gothic Rathaus was located at. It is breathtaking. Whilst waiting for the clock to strike 11 so that there would be some like musical box-ish display on the building, we spotted Barcelona's coaching team and got a picture with them. Awesome. Did a little shopping and basked in the atmosphere (before a soccer match). At last, we went to bayern munchen's stadium to hear the match. And we left after the first goal. The crowd was massive and the atmosphere was terrific. (I may want consider a good live soccer match as one of my lifetime goals) Left for London the next morning. Well, the operating hours of shops in Europe are generally very short, so we couldn't do much that day. Sightseeing on the following day - London bridge, tower bridge, London bridge experience (had so much fun), Westminster abbey, Big Ben, Buckingham palace. (If there is more I can't remember) Arsenal stadium the next morning, damn impressed. they are technologically savvy. did some last minute shopping at primark. Nearly went crazy, the prices are so affordable. It was chaotic. Went to other high street labels and got some stuff as well. On Saturday morning, we went to Westfield mall for like half an hour. Proved to be an unwise decision. Had to rush to the train station to catch the train to Manchester Piccadilly. The amazing race. Close enough. My 34 pounds nearly went down the drain. Had buffet for dinner. Went to Manchester stadium the next morning. I'd thought Man U would impress me more than arsenal did. Sad to say that's not the case. The tour was crappy, we didn't have much leisure time, and it's kind of old. Buffet next. This was much better than the one we had the day before. It's a Sunday and we didn't know shops would close this early. Couldn't shop. Tomorrow I am gonna go to primark and Arndale shopping centre. And shop in a record time of 3 hours before we fly back to Germany. School starts on Tuesday. Nooooo. Ok that concludes the entire trip. By far the best, as compared to Berlin+hamburg. There's much more to do in London. My favourite place so far regardless whether its sightseeing or shopping. Oh btw, the air here in London is kind of polluted. My nose mucus is black. Not just me. Probably cos of the poor air circulation in the Tube, people smoking cigarettes/sheesha. Truth to be told, I'm kind of homesick already. If only I could fly back to sg for a week and back here! I miss my life without you, my family and my bed. Hahaha. Can't seek comfort without a bed I can actually call mine |
