Vacation Part 2

So came bc from India, went to work for a wk and then had my module+vacation again.. life is good eh? ;-) Its written in the stars, babe ;-)

Didn’t study at all and slept through the whole 13-hour flight. Amazing. But I was always one for the bed anyway ;-)

So got to CPH and had fun, met up with a few people and stuff. Went to the bakery and the pizza place as usual, but kinda miss Karlslunde.. Exams from Monday to Wed, Buddy Holly on Thursday night, BDV on training, another exam on Sat and SLW started on Sun. Now if there ever was the mother of all team buildings, this would be it.

We slept on a raft, cycled for 10 kms, rowed for days on end, cooked our own food (guys can cook too you know!!!), walked for about 100 kms, ran for another 20, built rafts, slept in tents, peed in the bushes, rode on horse carriages. Really like jungle people la you know.. I didn’t hv my bath in 5 days! The only thing was that we didn’t have to hunt for our own venison – not like we had venison in the first place la.

Was absolutely exhausting to a point of delirium.. like WHY? But the ending, the closing made it all SOOO worth it. Was absolutely fantastic. I think this program was one of the best things that happened to me, the experience, the people, the friends tht I made, the exposure I got ( I mean at one point it was champagne and strawberries).. ;-), the traveling, the international drinking nights ;-).. unbelievable.

So anyways, well the closing dinner was nice, the after party was nicer ;-) VERY much nicer. In fact, if I hear a song now tht was played at the after party, my memories go back to it straightaway.. miss all of them so much… was kinda nostalgic cos you know tht you met these people and they were a great bunch but you’re never gonna see them again!

So well, checked out the next morning after breakfast and some, flew to London and had a good rest. Shopping, Hastings, M&S, Les Mis (not as nice as Blood Brothers or Phantom), chocolate trifle, Regent’s Park, cheese on toast, the London Zoo, strawberries and cream, the works.. P/S: if you want good food, go to London ;-)

Flew to Belgium, was very fun, stayed with Gianni (the pissing mannequin, his mom, his dad, his siblings, the Waterloo hill climb at night ;-), Brugge, Brussels, Leonidas, chocolates, ice cream, rhubarb pie, the Beersel castle, the kittens, cherry beer (raspberry is nicer ;-).. and so much more.. Someone pls pay me to travel.. Aaaahhhh…

Took the train to Amsterdam, met a solo Aussie on the way (that’s whats nice abt traveling alone, if you’re traveling with anyone else, you wouldn’t speak to strangers).. the bad thing about tarvelling alone in AMS is tht I couldn’t try the joints! So only tried hash and cannabis lollies..

And flew home. This trip was exhausting tho.. Oh, just remembered tht I hv to write a letter of complaint to KLM – they cancelled my AMS – KUL leg and didn’t even apologize! Anyways..
