Reallie glad i went to Spain. this trip wasnt reallie a shopping trip but i am equally happy cos i travelled quite abit during this period of time. more photos later.
arrived in madrid. the hostel was reallie small and cosy. 7 of us stayed together in a room. too bad, ghim hwee has to sleep somwhere else. went to have lunch at museum of ham. apparently, the spanish people like pigs alot. they hung millions of ham around the restaurant and the food was super oily. i almost puked out my lunch.
we went to walk around the parks which were very nice. madrid is colder than london. the scenery and the archtecture are reallie nice.
2nd day we went to visit the royal family castle and other places. saw a singaporean tour group there too! oh and we saw hannah and her frenz touring around madrid too! hahhahh... the world is so small.
madrid is full of fountains and nice sculptures. oh and luckily clarence has a fren who lives in madrid so she was bringing us around for good food. chinese are damn smart. they learn spanish and go to madrid to earn a living. not a bad move i feel. the spanish have their lunches at 2 and dinners at 9 plus 10. shops are closed from 2-5 and it is known as a fiesta and the shopkeepers all go to rest. it was due to a tradition where during summer cos it is super hot so they will take a break..
we went to segovia for a day too. it has the same touristy feeling as brugges and the scenery is juz so damn freaking nice. me, astee and clarence even left our marks there too! =) ahhaha.
in barcelona, we went to see the olympic stadium, olympic village. oh and san grada and the maze thingy where the contestants in the recent amazing race went! the maze thingy is cool lo. we even played catching in the maze. hahah so fun!!
so proud of myself cos i only spent a total of 300 pounds for this whole trip! and other souvenirs and i din buy anything else for myself. =p
a nice week spent i must say. and post xmas shopping! whoppie! hahaha but still need to study.. damn!
heavenknows
