Thursday, February 26, 2009 so after the long and highly uncomfortable flight, swee foo and i had to struggle with our lugguages and carry everything all the way to the train station. (which wasnt near where we were anyway) and waited in the cold for our train. everything seems highly blown out of proportion... so big and foreign... i am like in giantland or sth.. lucily swee foo was there. otherwise i could have die with my overly ambitious troop of bags.  with my lugguages! which doesnt look heavy but seriously.. dragging it from terminal to terminal trying to find the train station wasnt easy!  the ICE! inter city express if i am not wrong.. the train that will take you to all the european countries! and the train was so much nicer and more comfortable than the flight! more spacious and the scenery was amazing. yes! because i saw pockets of snow covered ground! :) so after one hour's journey on the train i met qiling and arthur (my buddy from the buddy program thing) and i was so freaking cold! hahah the cold air just whipped your face and when the wind blows its like omg so cold.. but none the less, i was grinning non-stop and enjoying every minute of it.. cos yes! i finally felt cold instead of hot. wahahahah but we had a problem.. didnt book a hostel before hand so we had to go ard dragging our lugguages. after a while the cold wasnt so fun anymore. hands felt so numb from the cold! first hostel we travelled to was overbooked so we had to seek a second option. did the clever thing by calling the hostel before we actually went there. in the end, we found one a bit further from the city. but i love it cos it was so clean and nice. after leaving the lugguages at the hostel( we couldnt check in yet) we left to explore the campus! :) set up my bank acct and walked ard before going to arthur's place to activate my phone card.  arthur placing my cup of hot tea outside the window cos i wanted cold tea. (we were trying to test if the naturally cold air would work better than the refrigerator. hahaha he is quite nice although my first impression of him sucks. thought he was so chauvanistic and all.. always hurrying along and not waiting for the rest of us and he looked really fouled temper. (in the end i found out that he was just super worried abt my accomodation). he is really nice when u get to know him better and he made my first meal in Germany!  first meal in Germany! Baguette! although the frozen kind. but it tasted good :) went back to the hostel to meet swee foo and it was ard 4 plus already. we wanted two single rooms and we comfirmed it already. but somehow they screwed up and we got a double room instead. :( but it was ok.. think i would have been afraid of sleeping alone anyway..)  anyway this was the van in which we got our first dinner in Germany. hahah roasted chicken and potato salat! super delicious. i dig german potato salad! they are just so sour. hahaha  the half chicken which i shared with swee foo..  our beds! i love the room! it was so "ikea" hahahand really clean and nice:)  me looking really jet lagged and tired. but i went online for a while using swee foo's laptop. I SLEPT AT FREAKING 6 PM! omg. gute nacht! XOXO 4:32 AM |
