hey ppl! Right now im in Germany already! yay! hMMm. well well well... Weather has been really cold here arh. Sometimes its really freezing cold and my skin is cracking. =.= lazy to apply cream everyday. haha. hehe. This is such a long vacation for me. =) Germany has been really great yea!! It started to snow on the second day we arrived. Nice heavy snow. So much like a fairy tale story. =) On the first day we arrived, my mom and i toured arnd Frankurt a. M.. It is a really nice city. So cool. This yr we are really lucky. Cox it is now the transition from autumn to winter arh. We can still see nice coloured trees in the park! red, orange, yellow maple leaves. So cool. I collected some when i was walking in the park. lOls. We combed the whole of christmas market too! Weihnachtsmarkt rocks!! So beautiful and we could really feel the festive mood. The light decors are far more better den wad is done in Singapore. There are REAL and really gigantic christmas trees! All nicely decorated. Such breath-taking scenes man. So for the next three days, i toured arnd Frankfurt city on my own. quite a great experience cox i could actually apply my german! hehe... So everything here is so german, I really hope my german will improve!!
ya.. so we tried a lot of food and drinks arh. We ate Kartoffelnpuffer ( a type of fried potato thingy), Bratwurst with bread, some really sweet stuffs like marzipan, Fritten( also a type of potato, like fries like tat), Klepper, and loads of pastry stuffs. hmM. german food are either TOO salty or TOO sweet. haha.. Not really to my liking but I still enjoy myself quite a lot! I drank some wine too. I tried apple wine( Apfelwein) and Glühwein. It is a must to try these two i tink, esp during Christmas period. haha.. the wines are served hot and the apple wine that i tried came in a really big glass. Almost fainted. haha. Cox i dont like to drink too much wine. So i jsut took two small sips and my mom finished up everything. wahahah.. Im still a small little kiddo lar.. I dont know how to appreciate wine. lolx. I will post some pictures soon? haha. let's say if i have internet access. hmm.
well well well... During the first weekend we were here, we went over to my mom's big boss's house to stay for two nights. hehe. We went to some old towns like Taunus, Rheingau.. And we went driving along the River Main. =))) Really beauTiful!! Its like, along the river, u could see a whole stretch of nice houses and CASTLES!! So many... see until i got so confused. lOlx. The life there is like so idllyic. Time passes really slow in winter i think. haha. We went to some monestary at Eberbach. Its called Eberbach Kloster. really nice.. cox its half covered with snow. den we went to look at some ancient wine making machines and all the barrels that are used to keep wine. A totally new experience! X) We also went into the woods to walk for about an hour or so. The air is so damn fresh but it was icy cold. brr... haha.. it was a nice feeling to walk in the woods cox it was covered with snow. hahas. oh ya, i tink we were at a place call Kempinski. it is a resort i tink. Took some nice photos there! I really wish i live here. So nice. It is also a chance for me to really brush up my german language!! hohoh.. Four more weeks to go!!

The luxury life of a king.. gosh. arh.. will post pictures on it too. haha. Too intricate for me to talk about. loLs. I love the markets there!! So cuTe one. Many diff types of vege. Some are really weird loOking til it seems as though they are inedible! lols. Silke's mom brought me to a horse ranch. It is call George Maschalani training stable. It is owned by this guy who came from Siberia i tink? arhs! Forgot le. haha.. I really travel until i luan. =\ haha. kk. He is one of the best western horse riders in the world and this ranch is REALLY bIg. Lucky horses. He has got 80 horses there now and still counting. haha. on the way down the hilly roads, we went to Wildpark to feed some deers. k. there are many deers.. About 40 to 50 i think. they are so cute lar.. but i tink they are poor things man..the winter is so so cold and they have to wait for ppl to feed them. =( but nevertheless, i had fun feeding them!! hehe..
