woah!

guess what! we are in riga! transitting for paris tomorrow. Honestly, i was really scare that we might miss the flight as we took the train to the other direction. its like instead of going to Tanah Merah and going to Changi Airport, we were at Jurong East! Oh well, i am it all turns out well.

Have to had Salmon sandwich on flight, because we did not have enough time to grab lunch. It cost us EURO5.25 for 2 thin slices of bread with 2 thin salmon and some vege + mineral water and a small chocolate waffel bar.

Anyway, Riga is really peaceful and relaxing for the old town. The rest of the part that we saw on the way to our hostel, Dome Pearl Hostel from the airport was really quiet. As compared to the crowded and dense Taksim square area that we were in, this is like less than 1% of the human traffic.

Apparently, Latvia is much stronger than EU and UK. Their currency is Lita, and the exchange rate is about 1Lita to SGD2.98! thats even more than Pound and EURO! In fact, we just changed EURO50 for like Lita32. We spend 10 on hostel, 1.2 on bustide here, and 9.58 on grocery. decided to make dinner and breakfast as it is rather costly to dine out.

Japanese ramen cost LT4 and normal meal cost about 5ish at decent restaurant. And thats the average of what they have here. However, beer is about 0.5 so thats about SGD1.50. Cheap cheap!

Anyway, i should get some sleep as tomorrow have to wake up early to make breakfast and catch a flight at 11:30AM! Will try to load my photos and videos once i have stable internet connection. Tomorrow we are going to PAris!~

3rd Day in Istanbul

After spending 2 days alone in Taksim Sofa Hostel, Cecilia (my travelmate) arrived this morning. Travelling alone was quite interesting and carefree. Alot of freedom to do whatever i want whenever and wherever. And as a female traveller, has its advantages. I am loving this place. the weather, architecture, people and demographics of the people i see on the street. It is truly metropolitan city!
Will be without my lappy for the next weeks, as i am storing it in KOC... will load the clips asap!

the last few moment

after 2 weeks of meeting people, shopping, eating, partying and etc! Finally i am almost done packing and getting ready to go! but the bad news is, i somehow clumsily hurt my back while trying to move the luggage onto the weighting scale... so... this dampen my excitement alil. Then again it is good as i will spend more time sitting and resting, that means bloggin too! not forgetting the hongkong drama im watching!
