Almost Christmas!

Sooo, am now about a week in after my trip to Europe. There're posts on that coming soon, I promise. I've been caught up with this course and exam this week (long story...) so I'll have to save the pictures and posts of Europe for the week after.

But in all seriousness, Europe was so awesome. I think I didn't really appreciate it as much when I went to Spain/Portugal in 2015 because I didn't put in as much effort absorbing all the culture and remembering the details of all the architecture we visited. So what happened was that I couldn't really differentiate all the various places when I looked at the photographs of the Spanish trip. This time round, I was really determined to make the best of the holiday and not be as overwhelmed, so I spent a lot of time on the bus reading up the historical facts of the places we visited. And also honestly I wanted to be able to talk about the destinations I visited to people who would ask, which I wasn't able to do for Spain (which I regret tremendously...!)

Just a teaser of the posts to come, we visited the following places on our 2 week tour of East Europe (in this order):

Czech Republic: Prague and Czesky Krumlov
Germany: Dresden and Berlin
Poland: Warsaw and Krakow
Hungary: Budapest
Slovakia: Banska Bystrica
Austria: Vienna and Salzburg
Germany: Munich

I can't wait to do the posts of the trip! But I have to get back to my books now (which are btw, killing me T_T). It's all going to be over by Saturday so I thank the heavens for that. Also, I am kind of missing work and the routine of it so looking forward to that on Monday.

Till Saturday,
S

Quote I Love

“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”
