And so...

Euro trip is coming to an end! Just got from paris today and, i was so sad to leave everyone :( paris is fantastic. its really the romantic city that everyone talks about. but it was more of the company that i was there for - with the french exchange students, laurent, eve, nouk, rachid and millie. they were so sweet! brought us around.. treated us to dinner :) explained french history to us.. showed us the chic and the cheap of paris. it was soooo great, i was so touched by french hospitality. makes me motivated to learn another language! but of course first, german. haha :)

yeah kinda stupid but i just realised that i have more french friends than german friends la! cos there were so many french exchange students.. yeah but it was really nice and if i could, i would go back again, really :)

now, in madrid! with a spanish exchange student, amaia. it's cool too, and i must say that spain has been the most surprising country for me. i mean like before going to europe ok, i know UK, I know france, italy, greece etc cos there r so many famous monuments and going-ons in these countries. but spain to me was like hmm.. another country in europe. but i have been amazed by the beautiful gaudi in barcelona, and here in madrid the architecture is really pretty as well. But spain also makes me feel like a tourist, maybe there is some kind of subtle cultural difference that i cant explain. Like in germany it felt like, just right. i liked it! in UK it felt like home.. haha. In france it also felt very close to the heart (maybe cos all the exchange students were there, showing us around, pampering us :).. but spain made me feel like a tourist. an outsider looking at things going on in the lives of the spanish through a looking-glass. maybe i'm just analysing this too much. bouuhh.

will be going home so very soon! omg.. time fliesss man. but i cant wait. im ready to go home. I WANT TO GO HOME! and see everyone!!!! deng wo hui laiiiiiiiii
