I'm back! Back from beautiful Germany and Warm and nice Singapore. I am back in little ol' Welli, and finding it quite ok, although I wish I was travelling more, I quite love life on the road. Singapore was nice and refreshing, a perfect end to my shopping spree that has been going on since I got back to Norway in december. Hopefully I still have money to pay for uni... lol ;). I was really in paradise in Singapore. One week of chillin' with Regi and Feli (although it was far from chilly). Eating to my heart's (and belly's) content, shopping, chatting, sightseeing on the river (really corny and touristy but nice all the same), figuring out the bus system of singapore... and of course getting my specs fixed + aquiring an additional 2 pairs. Next purchase will be an extra set of eyes, I think. Bought heaps of pig-accessories, I just love them. :) I'm soo gonna miss all the nice food there...

Bye bye Manuel, bye bye Germany

Germany has been a blast, with lots of visits to castles, churches, bars, a concert and so on. by and by I will put up some photos, just not that easy on the move. I actually quite liked practising my German, which is in dire need of improvement. And of course, I was surrounded by Germans +Swoon+ and the Bavarian dialect is particulary sweet to my ears. I like it. The family was awesome, and not surprisingly, his dad laughs just as loud as Manu himself. Really hostpitable people, gonna miss the atmosphere there. My last days with Manuelchen are now over, and it's sad as hell. This random German, who has been like a brother to me for almost a year... +SIGH+ Damn this curse! It's the curse of the international student, doomed to meat lots of great ppl, only to leave them after 6 months or 1 year. I wonder who the next ppl will b. We've shared many good times, Manu. I'll miss you like hell. :'(

Now that i have left beautiful Germany I am looking forward to some steaming hot days here in Singapore. Damn, it's hot here! I arrived early this morning half dead, as my sleep has been minimal the last days. So, today's itinerary has been rather slack:
05:30 am - arrival at Changi airport
06:55 am - arrival at Regi's quarters
08:00 am to 15:45 - Sleep
17:00 - 19:00 - shopping!
19:30 - dinner yumm yumm
20:00-> - chillin' at Regi's place

Good for a first day. Both my friends are working, so I'll b exploring on my own tomorrow. Gonna go to fix my glasses and to see artworks at the Singapore art museum. Wait for poor Regi who has to workworkwork. Thank goodness for Weekends.

Why can't we have an IKEA in New Zealand!!!?

Happy New Year/Germany

Happy New Year everyone! After spending three weeks being fattened up by parents, I am now on the move again, heading ever so slowly for summer and Wellington. Xmas was nice, with all the food that I have missed, good prezzies and family and friends. No internet at home has made me a rather slow blogger, though.

I am now in Germany, visiting Manuel in Großstadt Polling. It's a small place, close to a bigger place called Mühldorf. Germany is nice, there's a lot of history to be seen here; castles, lots of old churches, old houses... and so on and so forth. I quite like it. It was a bit hard for my brain to follow all the German gibberish at first, but now it's a lot more like a language to me. :) I must sayy, Bavarian German is not exactly book-german. But it's a cool dialect. Time has gone by so quickly here, and already in a few days I'm flying off again. Unbelievable. I suspect that staying here for a while would to wonders for my learning.. something to think about.
So, these days I've spent travelling around Bavaria with Manu, I've been to München, Salzburg, Regensburg, Burghausen - where they have the longes castle in Europe -, Mühldorf... I think that's all for now? Hm. And tomorrow I am not sure what's up yet. Maybe opera in München, maybe a castle somewhere. We'll see. Elisabeth is coming here tomorrow, so we'll be a small Welli-gang here in Mühldorf.. :) Will be nice to see her again, won't have the chance to do that in Welli now. Gonna be a crazy night tomorrow! Wuhu!
