well.. back in the comfort of my home and typing on my desk. endured a grueling 12hr ride all e way frm munich.. but b4 that, let me update abit on my berlin and munich trips first..
went to berlin on the 13th wif the dudes. spent a whooping 42euros on the train tix alone! was a vry vry difficult decision to make whether or nt to go but i tot, since i was alr in germany and it was an off day, heck, go for it! and man, berlin didnt disappoint.. I was greeted by a gigantic glass train station, a whole 5 storeys of it at berlin, one of the most if nt the most majestic i have ever seen. Berlin's grounds frm then on is littered with culture and history, things that you have to read up to noe, from the bundestag, brandenburger tor, embassies of the various allied forces that participated in the WW2, majestic churches, museums and last but nt least the berlin wall. took lots of pics here and there and left our mark on the berlin wall itself! tho, it wud probably be repainted and washed awy in the period of months but, at least its an experience and i was actually dumb enuff to buy a piece of the berlin wall back wif me.. cost a freaking 5euros but for memories sake ba!
was at munich ytd as part of a stopover b4 flying back to sg.. didnt haf much time b4 the connecting flight but we managed to cover quite abit of ground, minus the entering of musuems, i guess.. of cos, our first venture in bavarian ground, being a rushed affair, wasnt as complete as we had wanted, esp without the beautiful castle in the munich outskirts which the disney snow white castle was based on. perhaps, this wud warrant a 2nd trip to germany?
anyways, back in sg le.. the last day in horsten was abit emo-ish for me... packing and remembering how we came.. 2mths, nt a short time but yet, nt long enuff to explore the whole germany. it has been a good experience for me, both in and outside of military work. A good closure to my national service bah :)
look out for the pics on facebook. :)
