=this pic was taken by alex, the cathedral being the tallest building in the pic.... and if you look closely you can even see a seagull flying. cool huh? :D
its a lovely BELOW ZERO temperature! YAY!!
lets see.... what happened.. -.-after getting on the plane, started talking to the guy next to me. some 40++ year old ukranian ( no, indian crazie 1. not the icky guy on imvu). on my other side was from england.. about 60. both were nice, but i talked more to the ukranian guy. he's a coach for circus acrobats. the stuff they do from heights, in the air etc... really cool, he was one himself. he talked alot, so it was entertaining...
the english guy was a nice too, a big plump man with no hair and a ear piercing, in black. lets call him granpa! one good advantage of grandpa, after getting out of the loo, he makes it really easy to find my seat. (bald head shiny! HAHAHA XD) he was really nice too actually, but very quiet.. i tried to sleep, so i put my glasses on the foldable table...tossed and turn a lot, and it almost fell. grandpa took my specs and put it on his table XD. then later when he almost made it fall , he put it on his shirt instead XD..... really nice. so i was well cared for on the flight, grandpa helped clear rubbish on my table too! XD but sad part was i couldnt sleep, so i got really really restless.
Amsterdam was alright, but the security was tight i guess. back in singapore i had to walk through the metal detector, and it beeped cuz of my belt. i didnt feel like being molested again so i removed my belt this time.......but still...
beep beep.
i had to take off my friggin shoes. -.- XD
it was boring in amsterdam airport, i didnt go to the 12 euro shower cuz i didnt feel like it... just sat on a recliner to watch Ranma 1/2 for awhile, and then i went to walk around... i didnt dare to fall asleep XD bought a drink, changed some cash, and sat around reading... checked in an hour + early...
as i walked to the gate i saw this black guy, and he said hi... so we started talking, just nice he was taking the same plane XD he's studying in norway for his doctorate, and is a lecturer in eutopia ( SO COOL). Being typical singaporean geog student, i know statistics of Africa and stuff XD so he was an intellectually entertaining company.
We had to wait for a bus to take us to the small plane... sit in twos and threes. i ended up sitting by the window next to the wing AGAIN, and a plump 60 year old englishman. He was nice company too, talked about stuff, he works in norway although his family is in england. mentioned how expensive stuff in norway is , and the weather. However, the food here is worth the cash X)
once, i said this in australia.. "we come to a foreign country to eat ASIAN food?!" XD well, i take that back, i've been eating VERY good chinese food. its.... perfect. it lovely. good. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm kinda good. its at this place called Mien Trung, supposedly vietnamese. People there are quiet friendly. XD the guy at Mien Trung shook my hand, his wife said i was "sot" ( with a slash on the 'o') and i'm not telling what that means . -_-
the half filipinno guy at the coffee shop shook my hand in welcome too. but these people are familiar with alex XD and we got a free cup of coffee each from that guy too.
also ate at a japanese restaurant... RAW FISH. raw tuna isnt too bad... but i dont like the butterfish or salmon much XD still the oddball in the family for that har har XD
the temperature's been -8 when i first came...but hovered between -2 and 2 till now... i've yet to seen snow falling, but its been nice~ i'm growing fat, having fun, and getting used to the cold... took some nice pics, i'll upload them in a bit.
so much to do online now that i got net~!
