it is fantastic to travel alone in europe!! the feeling is indescribly wonderful..
sometimes it is not so fun to go out with people who allows me to make decision where to go and where to eat.. and when i set the meeting place, the next question that follows would be where to eat.. to begin with, i m a very spontaneous person.. only in studies and work and serious stuff do i really plan my stuff.. but in my free time, i don't plan to the exact detail what i should go to when i reach the place and where i should eat..
when i was travelling alone in europe, no one was there to ask me which states to visit and therefore i can just decide which state to go only the day before and having absolutely no idea what to see in the state.. my host was even more worried than me when i told her i didn't have a guide book or even a map for amsterdam and liege but i was venturing there anyway.. i could have imagined if i got a travel companion, the person would be so damn worried and the next thing is that my trip would be cancelled due to insufficient planning..
travelling alone is fun because you don't have to account to someone when and where you all should eat.. for me, i would just walk around and eat only when i saw something appealing or when i m hungry.. and in unfamiliar city like amsterdam and liege, i would have absolutely no idea what i could eat.. oh please, i want to eat something nice and exotic!! so don't keep bugging me what we should eat..
traveling alone is fun because you don't have to compromise.. though i am fat, i can walk super long distance.. but not everyone could or want to do so.. and i walk very slowly and i don't like to refer to map, so chances is the person would be terrified of being lost.. map is for me to get back to the train station or hotel.. i don't mind if someone read the map and lead the way and show me how i can tour around the city.. but i hate it when someone said that i am lazy to read the map and always rely on someone to read it.. please!! this is my style, i don't read map unless after 1 hour of walk, wat we see is only trees and more trees and it seems like we are going to enter an uncivilised area or we are really lost..
travelling alone is fun because you can meet interesting people..=) having a companion deprives you meeting people because it is so hard for strangers (who eventually becomes your friends) to come talk to you and your friend.. however, it might not be safe travelling alone.. but then ms huifang is a street smart.. haha.. so no big deal with that.. but then taking photo might be difficult..
after travelling alone, i realised that if you want to do something, just go and do it on your own ba.. a good example would be i like to eat thai food but if i kept hoping that someone would come and eat with me.. i won't get the chance to eat it becos people don't like it becos it is too spicy or it can give pimple or donno what stupid reason.. after the trip, i realise everyone just have to do something they like alone.. unless you have a soulmate.. but then ur spouse or your bf/gf might not be your soulmate.. they might just be someone of convience..
p/s: i am addicted to ER.. can't wait for hallmark channel.. DVD is so expensive.. gotta just watch it online..
p/s2: i simply hate studying for my 2 financial papers which i have to pass before i start work.. studying means eating plenty of snacks!! shit.. i am growing fatter!!
