Europe Photos (III)

Day 16
Eurail To Den Haag. Stayed in StayOkay again.... Though it's near red light district, it seems super safe with all the cameras and the heavy door...

Den Haag is another boring place. The orchard road there is so similar to Brussels and Rotterdam, and we are already so sick of it.


See...even their royal palace is so ao tah....


And their famous museum....forgot the name liao. But it is better than the royal palace....weird...

Luckily only 1 day there.


Day 17
Amsterdam!


Dam Square





Bicycle Park


Had pancakes there. Belgium famous for waffles and Netherlands famous for pancakes. Had banana chocolate, ham and cheese, and bacon with mushroom. Bagus!!


Sex Museum in Amsterdam....eur2.50 per entry....no student discount...haa




Luckily the photos at the background too small to see....else too RA liao.


Anne Frank statue near Anne Frank House. There are flowers at the bottom of the statue wor....so sweet... Went to see her hiding place....dark and small. They also showed video on the concentration camp...real sad leh. The ways the Jews were being tortured were really horrible...and they dug very deep and big holes to bury the naked bodies of Jews. There were many pics on the camp and Anne Frank's friends and family too. Asia should have more of these to let the Jap students know more of the correct WWII history.

Stayed in Shelter Jordan hostel....14 beds dorm. First time sharing with so many people, but heng we 4 girls get one corner by ourselves....dun need to mix with rest. Antisocial!


Day 18

Day 19
Yea! That's the end of self planned tour! Safe and sound! Take eurail to belgium then eurostar back to London...6 hours trip. Though tired, we were all very happy 'cos going to stay with Fengxian's sister for the next few days...which we expected it to be more cosy! They stayed at Swindon....3 hours away from London.


And it's really good. Small house, but 什么都有!


Our room. Not very big, but very contented already. ...thick mattress, thick blanket, many many pillows...


The small and clean kitchen, with fengxian's sis (fengshan) suddenly become a housewife.


Makan home cooked food - fried bee hoon by fengshan and her hubby.


Day 20
Visit Manchester! Fengshan's hubby drove 5 hours to reach there...好辛苦wor!




Playing some goal keeper game....but 3 demure girls playing 1 one-player game...hmm.... Ez game! we only need 1 hand each! haaa...

Think this is reports lounge...can't really remember






Interview room...is that what they called it?? That's where the press conference is held. Photo shows a kind, demure soul helping a lonely-guy-who-tour-alone take photo. muuaahhaa!


Then went chinatown for more shopping....yijun really 满载而归, but not as 满载 as fengxian.
