heya bloggie!!

sorry for the late upload!
let me quickly summarize the past few weeks.

i got great results for anatomy n histology exam in last sem exams! wuhuuu! all those nites of burning the midnight oil n the panda eye syndrome paid off. finally tats over.

and as reward.............

im actually on my eurotrip!
unfortunately the plan to italy tak jadi due to kelewatan meng-confirmkan our booking.. huhu.
but instead.. im backpacking across 3 countries!
Berlin, Hamburg n Munich(Germany), Prague(Czech Republic), and Vienna(Austria)..

wuhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!~

im actualy in Prague now. n our hostel has unlimited free internet. so im taking full advantage. n due to my skt lutut... my pergerakan n jalan2 around Prague City tonite is a no-go. DAMM. i wanted to check out the 5 storey Club... the largest club in mid eastern europe. damm damm damm... huhu. but i musnt strain my knee. I have another 4 days in Vienna starting trw.
so im taking comfort in my blog. at least now i have free time to update on this eurotrip.

FIRSTLY!
our trip started from Kursk on the 27th to Moscow. From Moscow we flew by Aeroflot(Russian Airlines) to Berlin. In Berlin.. we took a train to the heart of the city. Our hostel (Baxpax Downtown Hostel) was very strategically located.. meaning we need not travel far to such attractions such as the Brandenburg gate, Berlin wall, Free Tours n so on. And the hostel was beautifullll... n squeaky clean. Almost like a hotel. Minus the Tv n fridge.

as most of us would do.. we camwhored all the way. 540 pics in Berlin alone.
Mamma mia~~~
no trip would be fun if we just simply took random pics with buildings n dint know the stories behind them. And as we all know.. Germany has a lot of history... Holocaust~ Adolf Hitler~ ring a bell??
And so we took the free tour.. which was amazing. It informed us of how the Berlin wall came to be.. n how it mistakenly fell.. (very funny story tat is.. Google or Youtube it)

I obviously fell in love with Berlin. I LOVE IT. n i hopefully i will get to take my family there someday.. The people are not how i pictured them. I thought they would be like the russians.. all mean and rude(no offense to them..some are realy nice tho). But Berliners are amazing! on our first day there alone.. we were taking pics with the cathedrals.. n some lovely lady offered to help take our pic.. we were a strong 10-peep group. n at the counters.. while paying for groceries.. they greet u.. "Hai".. "have a great weekend". and and... owh how lovely n polite they're people are.

Along the tour.. i certainly learned a lot. Like how the Jewish Memorial site is sooooo large n its design really catches ur eye. Will upload when im in msia. Sorry... tats in another 6 months.. but my internet in kursk sucks. i will tho. N we got to see where Aldolf Hitlers bunker is.. the place where he commited suicide. It has only a little sign there saying the bunker was located somewhere there. The reason for this is tat they did not in any way want to glorify Aldolf Hitler... n they certainly did not want tat area to become a shrine for Neo-Nazis. So they made it as insignificant as possible.

Under a parking lot. hah!

n we walked along the Berlin wall... a wall tat divided families, relatives n lovers of the East Berlin from the West. We learned of famous escapees of the walls.. n of those who perished in their effort. We were shown how there were actually 2 walls... n how people who managed to make it over the first wall.. were surprised to find another wall in front.. n instead.. landed in the death strip.. a strip of land filled with guard dogs, a guard tower, landmines and barb wire...

i for one was dissapointed to see the wall at first. i tot it would be as big as the Great wall of china or sumthing.. But to hear its stories.. only then do u appreciate it.

There are many more stories of Berlin to tell.. but i wont bore u with it.

Now of Prague..

We came by a 5 hour bus ride from Berlin to Prague. N Prague is majestic. i prob havent travelled much but i think it looks a lot like Rome. the carvings of its statues... the churches.. clock towers.. i walked until i cudnt walk anymore... i even hurt my knee. huhu.. damm.. n now im recuperating n cant go to the 5-storey club i mentioned in 1st paragraph. darn it.

neway moving on.. pics pics galore.
n bought a few souveniers for fam n friends.. altho i have to say these people are ripping us of when it comes to souveniers. ikat perut la se nie.. hehe.

n so tat was my quick summary of the past few days... i think i wrote to much ody.
hehe..
well trw morning at 8 we will be travelling to Vienna ody.. i hear our hostel there is beautiful too.. yippee~
price pun beautiful jg. haha.

hoping to update more when i get there.. if i find the time n free internet hehe.

oh! n before i forget... *^_^* special tx to my cameraman.. to whom without i wudnt have gotten these beautiful pics. yes. i dont compliment much.. but u do take beautiful pics darl.. :)
(n bcoz he is going upstairs to take it from the camera.. since i cant reli walk an all ;p)
n for helping me walk down the castle n across the bridge just now.. (sounds fairytale-like.. but i really was limping tru these places just now)
^_^

anyway......
till my next post!
ps: sorry i dint arrange the pics. hehe. random order. but at least i finally uploaded some.

love from Prague.. xoxo :
