Europe Fever

It's been a few weeks since I've been back in Singapore, but I sooo want to be in Europe. I've always wanted to live in Europe, but instead I end up in places like NZ and Singapore (not that I'm complaining or anything)...

The trip started in Germany with our company world sports event. I cannot even begin to describe it, for those in AIESEC it was something like 5 ICs put together as there were over 2500 people there. We even had a global village night and study tours to Hamburg and Hannover ;) It definately has to be one of my key highlights while working here. Srini, Maryna and Amit also came by to see Gitti and me for the weekend (which is always fun for us but I doubt Srini shares our sentiments, but we love him anyway).



It's fun visiting people in their hometowns especially when that's not where you know them from. The tours from locals are soo much better (well, when they actually do know their city) :) Nicky, Chris and Ryan showed me around Rotterdam. I now get peoples fascination for the "Dudok Apple Pie", it is truly DIVINE. I got to meet Nicoline's brother too, which adds to the personal / family touch in the city.



Amsterdam lived up to expectations and catching up with Marije and Ruth was even better. Marije thought it would be best to see Amsterdam the dutch way and we took bikes, but as soon as I hit the main street with traffic, I freaked out, lost control and landed on my arse. In my defence, I haven't been on a bike in 12 years!! Ok ok it's not an excuse, and not a story I really want to share :P

Aaaaah, I then went to Stockholm to catch up with Judit and Nisarg and Giedre and Liam came up from Lithuania and Poland too. The whole trip was filled with kiwi reunions, it couldn't have been better. Stockholm is a stunning city and after all the only one I left feeling like I was leaving home. Maybe it was seeing 2 sets of flatmates again and doing the stuff we usuall do together or maybe because I spent the most time there.....whatever it was...I call it HOME...cause home is where the heart is, right?




I ended up in Berlin to visit Nicole, who has a gorgeous flat and also drove me around (which was great cause after all the walking and work out intially, I could barely stand). Nicole, I do owe you a longer visit though but it's your turn next ;)



Aah....I'm already longing for Europe again....will have to wait till next year..
