Greetings from Holland!

sorry for the total lack of updates. couldn't get an internet connection in my cousin's house cos it's still new and they haven't installed much stuff yet =D using their connection in their restaurant now. man, we were stuffed with good food (yummy chinese/HK food) when we arrived up till today. =D =D =D my stomach's feeling happy now. hahaa i guess 2 months of eating burgers and fries and sausages really made me yearn for proper rice and non-heaty dishes.

let's see, we went to the windmills, clogs shops, miniature theme park and i hopped into a huge casino for the first time in my life! though i didn't bet on anything using my own money (ten euros per play and it's 22 sing dollars!!), my uncle and cousin managed to win 70 euros playing blanco punto. =D gambling thrills you! now i know why there are so many gambling addicts around. it's real easy money, but of course it doesn't pay off every time.

oh yeah, paris! what can i say hmm... Eiffel tower is amazing at night with the sparkles and all but rather dull in the day. Louvre is GIGANTIC, we didn't even get to walk through the whole museum in a day and mona lisa is too over-rated =x had to squeeze pass dozens of people just to get a glimpse of it and it's hidden behind so many panels of glass! oh seine river is gorgeous =) the 11 euros boat trip was worth it cos we went in the night and all the buildings looked so different as compared to daylight. metro experience was rather horrible, squeezing in every available space we can every time we take it. there are beggars and rubbish everywhere (we saw a lump of watery shit once along a passageway) but i do like the frequency of it (one train every 2 minutes or so)

going brussels (belgium) tomorrow to lug back tons of belgium chocs!!!!

pictures will be up later if i can squeeze some time out to update hee

ciao!
