Back!


Sorry to leave everyone hanging with such an emo post, but was off in a hurry to Poland. (Yes, I know the Austria pictures are still not up on webshots yet, but i'm working on it!) Didn't really take alot of pictures this time, cos Charlene lost her camera, and well her need to take pictures is always greater than mine, so I lent her my camera, and used my sony ericsson phone's cybershot.

Not that I'm complaining, cos my phone's camera is really rather good, it really takes nice pictures. Not for the real pros, but its good enough for me. The only thing is that it can't zoom in camera mode, only in video mode. Sony Ericsson, this is the one flaw you have to eliminate. After this is corrected, nothing will get in your way for handphone market world domination (except perhaps bad marketing plans).

So yeah, Poland. It was quite fun actually, met up with the people we got to know from german class back in singapore, the 2 guys from St Gallens and the 2 from Graz. They are hilarious people, and I'm really tickled by them. Haha. But the plan to go both Krakow and Warsaw turned into just Krakow, so we were stuck there for an extra 2 nights, during which we just went and sampled more traditional Polish food.

Quite fun, actually, even the journey to and from Poland. Had to take train from Bern to Bergamo, Italy, then change to a plane, which landed in Krakow. Had to do the entire thing again when we were coming back. Even though travelling is tiring, but somehow I really like Swiss trains. They are nice and clean, and the seats are really comfortable, especially for my size, where i get alot of room to maneuver. Best thing is, they are usually quiet and rather empty, so you can take an entire row of seats if you like (seats here are arranged on 2 sides, and there will be 4 seats arranged in the configuration you see around a table. Not sure if I'm getting the description right, hope you get the idea). So you will get some quiet time to yourself to sleep, read, or basically stone. Which is what I do best. So I just plug in my mp3 and i'm good to go.

Love travelling on Swiss trains. But right now, reality calls. I have to finish my powerpoint for my presentation tomorrow, and I really shouldn't be doing this blog entry right now. Haha. So, look out for the pictures on facebook! Will be back real soon. :D
