Back home!

Glad to be back in Sunny Sg.

Barcelona was mainly hotel. I only got to see Sangrada Familia, ate some tapas and surprisingly good food. Water there is always with the 'con gas' choice. Its refreshing although all the gas made me feel a little flatulant. I think I prefer my water still. I am still undecided how I feel about water with gas.

France was okok. The touristy attractions were okok. Maybe cos I was alone and it was raining most of the time, leaving me super duper cold and miserable. Paris Disney was suprisingly small, like HK. Half a day was enough.

The driver who drove me from the hotel told me "Paris is a place full of magic".

On my way back, there was a wedding ceromony and he went "This is a sign for you, when you get back to Sg, you will get married".

Later, there was this huge bird shit splattered all over his window, he thinks its a sign too. I told him that in Sg, if you have bird shit, you probably become very rich soon. He immediately went" This is a sign, when you get back to Sg, you will get married with someone very rich, Paris is full of magic".

When we reached the airport, there was sirens going off and he went "This is a sign for you, when you get back to Sg, you will get married with someone very rich who is the chief of the police. Paris is full of magic".

I was like hurhurhurhurhur, and in a hurry to get out of his car to grab some grub because I was starving. Starving really, so hungry that I thought I knew how a kid in Somalia feels like. I had not eaten in hours cos everything was so expensive. I had initially planned to go back to the hotel because the neighbourhood is cheaper there but my driver came early, leaving me with no time to eat.

BTW, nothing the driver said has come true. I don't think it will anyway.

I been super duper tired since I came back. Had to attend a 2 day meeting, then work work work. Today I slept 16 hours straight. I didnt even wake up. My dad came and shoke me "eh, 4pm already" I was like..what.... I was planning to sleep in..but like till noon. Not 4pm. and by 6pm, I was ready to go sleep again.

The good thing is,
-I am going to watch Phantom on Sunday
- I am going to Maldives in two weeks. Finally finalised the trip. Its so expensive. 2.2k just for accomodation, and its the second cheapest one. Thankfully, the tickets are redeemed.
- I also booked my tickets to Finland and London in June.

That leaves me so so so broke. My cc actually got rejected when I tried to pay for dinner.

You could have order "Aqua sin gas" - that's the water without gas... Maybe good to remember but when you comes to the north of Europa you can luckily drink a very good tap-water.
Finland and Sweden in june can be very beautiful with the long days and just a very short night around midsummer. I can recommend you to try to find a cheap cruising with the passengerferries sailing between Helsinki or Åbo in Finland to Stockholm in Sweden. Stockholm is my hometown which use to be named the Venice of the north, situated at many islands.
The passengerferry will sail though the Archipelago of Stockholm (counted to be about 24 000 -thentyfourthousend- islands and rocks and from this ferry you will view many of them from above.
22th of June is Midsummer Eve, for many Swedish the second most important holiday after Christmas. Most of the shops will be closed 22-24th of June while we celebrating around the Midsummerpole and eating and drinking.
