Raunchy!!! I like!! haha :)anyway, this hols has been immensely enjoyable. i jabbered and joked so much in switz that my sore throat got better only upon returning to paris ( and after eating some very gd manuka honey, courtesy of chère pote =P). yeap, me and my perpetual sore throat. JOY.
and now let's start on the pics. i took quite a lot of pics and so had to select just a few. uploading them was such a pain.
here goes..
zurich:
the prettiest pic i took of the city. it was a little bit of a let-down, partly due to gloomy weather on the first day. zurich can be covered in 3 hours on foot. lonely planet says that the city buzzes with an electricity found nowhere else in the country, and i quote: 'sedated'. what gentle euphemisms, or lies even. quite a joke if u ask me. given the gargantuan mountain vistas and tiny hamlets that litter all over the jungfrau region, its little wonder theres little electricity in e air in e latter. the no. of ppl on the streets of zurich on wkends rivals that of paris on a wkday, so it feels kinda weird. but no doubt there that the quality of life in switz is amazing.
one of my favourite sightings! haha. i sure hope the swiss who frequent this boutique have a very limited english vocab.
and the saving grace of zurich: sprüngli! they sell absolutely lovely macarons which look too gd to be eaten. see how regal they look all stacked up so neatly! i bought 2 boxes. =)
and now for the interlaken region:
the map of the various train routes that take u up the moody alpine slopes. beware: the rides cost all my limbs!
the doyenne of cam-whoring: WK. lol
and moi. i cant stand how pallid i look in this pic. but owell, the other pics of me taken on this trip are hideous. Other people are well-endowed in various parts of their body.me? the blessing goes to my lips. thick full luscious lips. angelina jolie. denise richards. pout up, sweetie. fish lips. shu qi. jokes abound along the lines that i shld be happy im not a girl, coz if i were, i will finish a tube of lipstick in a month. bullshit i tell u. i take 3 months to finish my lipbalm okay... anw,these jibes
ive heard them all. now imagine these thick lips turning blue up on the ski slopes. not very healthy-looking eh?
lauterbrunnen:
the main (sole) street that leads up to our hostel,which was quite decent.
taken from our room.
now the above picture wld be complete if heidi's there frolicking with her sheep.
my fav pic. mother nature at her most majestic. i dunno why, but i can very well imagine scenes of kungfu-fighting taking place among the wispy strands of fog near the peaks.
2nd day at Grindelwald:
due to inclement weather, we spent most of our day either indoors or huddled in our coats exploring watever grindelwald has to offer. much to wk's bemusement/annoyance, i combed thru COOP, the swiss version of NTUC, twice.
a huge COOP that i wld love going into. haha
i dun think i need to step into the equinox after eating at 'the top of europe'.
spastica no. 1
spastica no. 2: a feeble attempt at hiding my hair that was cut so short by a numbskull 2-3 weeks ago. that retard continued snipping away even though i told him to stop THRICE. i was panicking as the fringe and the sides were disappearing at an alarming fast rate, but the deaf fool was happily cutting away still. i was so consumed by my own bile and vitriol the whole evening after that.
geneva: nothing spectacular. the geyser wasnt turned on. grrh. but thankfully, they have the Red Cross and the UN.
we had a guided tour inside the UN. and it was very informative.
all the art pieces that adorn the corridors of the buildings were donated by various countries. so, the tour guide was happily pointing out the various pieces/artefacts originating from say, poland, and the polish lady in the grp will give this sickening beatific smile. but when the tour guide asked where we were from, she was stymied as she couldnt remember anything coming from singapore. she said smth like 'you have me there! there's nothing from singapore and namibia'. OMG i think the others were trying their best to smother their laughter. so much for spore and her accolades.
some adam-and-eve door donated by france
inside the spanish room, where everything, even the railings, tables, carpet etc came from spain. the paintings around the room depicted some story that i cant recall.
and on the ceiling: 5 men representing the 5 continents coming together as one.
the whole tour was quite inspiring and edifying i must say. but sadly it only makes me realise how painfully ignorant i am of current affairs, among many other things. time to read up more. for now, it's time for bed.
