Hi there! Apologies for the missing in action part. Am currently in HK and it has been great but tiring. I'm expecting a colder weather here in Hong Kong but much to my disappointment, the coldest is only 19 degrees and it's raining most of the time. >.<"
But despite the bad weather, I've got time walk around and taste awesome dim sum.The last time I've been to HK was 6 years ago.. It was so long ago... The only difference I've felt between then and now is... It is soooo crowded now in HK! I don't remember seeing or experiencing such crowd last time I were here. It's bad enough to have me thinking of not going out to the central area at night. Anyway, I am still enjoying my stay here. Will be here for another few days before I proceed on to US! And yes.. I am very excited for my US trip! My virgin trip and I hope to be able to catch some snow :) This will make my trip complete. (Part of my birthday wish is to see snow..... hehe... finger cross... US snow plsss...)
Ok, not much pictures for this trip.. but will upload pics for US for sure! Do check out my FB for more picsss... Will update soon!
PS: I'm already feeling the X'mas mood! Have you started your xmas shopping yet?

I'm back!!
Yes, I'm back from Europe trip. Truly, it has been one of the greatest trip I've ever had. The culture there is so rich and colorful. Simply LOVE it!
I went for a full 2 weeks trip to Spain. Spend one week each in Madrid & Barcelona. Felt that 1 week is just good enough to fully explore and experience the life & the culture in each city. I'm not one that like to 'touch & go' type. That's why I've never signed up for any tour groups before as you can't really experience the fullness of the city you go to.
Some really nice pictures:
(more photos on FB :) )
So what do I like about Spain? I think the main thing that captures me is the rich culture that they have. The people are nice, most of them do not speak fluent English but they are more than willing to provide assistance when we asked for it. I got 'lost' a few times in Barcelona and when I asked for direction, they will try their very best to explain to me the direction needed. So nice of them :) And ohhh... I love the buildings there. Not many high rise building but the details and the built of the buildings are just so pretty! Weather? No need to say much... definitely better than Singapore (hahaha) It's cold and not too dry.. perfect!
One thing I missed back home when I'm there is food! I love western food, but too much of them makes me miss Chinese food somehow. And european loves to eat bread... every dish will come with a basket of bread. And also egg & potatoes.. I think i've not eaten so much egg when I'm in Singapore compared to there. One of the most yummy food is their Paella.. especially the squid ink paella... oh man, it's heavenly. (sorry, no photos... it's so nice that i've forgotten to take a pic) but.. i've a picture of how paella looks like (seafood flavor):
I've done my homework before going to Spain and read alot about the security there. When I'm there, it's really not as bad as I've read. Just stay vigilant at all times and it's fine. It's not as 'scary' as what I've thought would be.
I'm loving the place so much that I don't feel like coming back already!! :p Shall start planning to visit the rest of Europe next yr. Next up maybe Paris?
