i am still alive..

haha.. yes.. indeed i am still alive.. hadnt had the chance to touch the internet since i left Lisbon, Portugal.. had visited quite a few places and done some crazy things so far..

while i was in Spain watched spanish bull fighting in Madrid.. lost my train pass when i was in Madrid so i had to start buying individual train tix along the wa.. lost a few hundred bucks there.. onli to realise tt actually not buying the train pass from the start would had been cheaper.. but i decided not to let it spoil my Europe Tour n so went on to sun tanned and sun burnt in Barcelona..

when i was in Switzerland.. i felt super bored in Geneva but went crazy when i skydived near the Alps in Interlaken.. wohoo!! thumbs up for tt.. no words can discribe it.. yeah man.. tt was way cool..

hopped on another train n i was already in the fashion city Milan, Italy.. went on for a small trip in Florence n did some dumb silly poses at the leaning tower of Pisa.. haha yeah.. tt was quite fun.. stayed for quite some time in Rome to take a break from all the rushing but it was still realli cool

caught a night flight to Athens, Greece n almost burnt ourselves coz it was realli hot.. nice city..

n now i am in istanbul, Turkey.. gd change after seeing so many churches.. some nice mosques here.. haha

dun have time to process the photos of these places yet.. pretty crazy going ard everyday.. haha but i am uploading some photos from previous trips :p haha..

go check out Amsterdam.. finally managed to properly upload the photos.. got interrupted while doing it in Lisbon.. din had a chance to finish it after tt

will be heading to Eastern Europe n back to Denmark soon to get my results.. wish mi luck..

Czech Republic Trip: Cesky Kumluv

haha... Cesky Kumlov is a realli lovely place... a small n well preserved place.. the whole place is under the protection of UNICEF or smthin =P.. nice place to relax n enjoy fresh air.

a word of caution though.. if u r going there.. take the bus not the train.. coz the train station if quite far from the town n pple there dun realli speak english.. wats more is tt eastern europe trains ain very reliable.. we almost missed our flight when we were heading back =P phew..






























Czech Republic Trip: Prague

Prague: our 1st Eastern Europe stop..

too bad cw cant join us coz of some silly mistake tt he n pk made [of which i still cannot understand wat went wrong.. lol]

aniwae.. prague is a highly reccommended destination in eastern europe... apparently everyone must go there if they go eastern europe..

haha.. but its either i have seen too many places or my expectation was too hyped up.. din realli impress mi =P nevertheless.. it was a great place to visit =]

















































Easter Trip: Germany [Berlin]

ok.. this is the last leg of the easter trip.. Berlin.. haha... actually.. all along i keep tinking that Munich is more interesting than berlin, although the rest tink otherwise... but after uploading the photos.. i realised that Berlin also quite some stuff to catch.. oh well.. but i would say most r things related to the wars that occured there and abt the Berlin Wall itself.. watever it is.. still enjoyed ourselves pretty much there..

the 1st thing tt greeted us was one of the few legolands in Europe.. ahha



The remains of the Berlin Wall...



Hurry!!! b4 the guard comes!!!
one of the more prominent structures in Berlin.. Pariser Platz

we went to pay a visit to one of the concentration camps that was left behind from WW2..

SACHSENHAUSEN NAZI CONCENTRATION CAMP






too bad chee wei wasnt able to join us from this point onwards.. actually we planned to go back together.. but it turned out tt there wasnt tix for the date n time we planned to head back.. but cw had a presentation or test or smthin n needed to go back 1st.. oh well.. we had to book an additional nite of hostel but i am glad we did tt coz there was still so much we havnt seem!!!
The Berliner Dom.. a realli beautiful structure.. pk has the nite view of it.. haha can go check out his blog..
Check Point Charlie: the Berlin Wall used to have a gap here where it divides the American side n the Russian side..




Reichstag:
