5 Countries 7 Cities in 18 days (Part I)

Underground  tube station in Waterloo, London

DISCLAIMER : This post is not meant to be written in a proper English. Cos the writer is unable to write so. fml. Plus, the entire trip is to be described based on observation and personal opinion, not on how the media/public usually portrayed it to be.

It has been two weeks I am back in Malaysia and still no update about this trip cos I am a lazy pig. wtf
No la, the main reason is also I am not enjoying writing travelling kinda post. Cos I don't want later my wording expression turns out can't describe the trip so precisely. I am kinda suck in writing and verbally describing things.
But like I said, I don't wish later I got Alzheimer's disease and completely forget my entire life and feel regret not to document down my moments. Just in case la. lol

Underground  tube station in Waterloo, London

So on 9th of July 2013, I went to London for the second time. This time is to attend my sister's convocation. (The first time was just to visit my sister)

Big Ben and Houses of Parliament, London

My Jie is a JPA scholar, just completed her Master degree in Pharmacy first class honour in King's College, London. So of course my whole family, including my two proud papa and mama has to be there to attend her convo.
12 hours flight from Kuala Lumpur to London Heathrow is no joke. Though it's not my first time, but 12 hours man! 12 hours to fly to and fro it's already 24 hours! We literally spend a day on the plane already. T__T

And what is more worse is when your neighbouring seat in front or behind you keep on farting. Like non-stop. wtf. And you have to smell it IN YOUR SEAT for the ENTIRE trip until you have landed. Disgusting cheese and bacon smell fart. Gross! It's kinda like a new bully la. =.='' Air plane bully - where you can't complain to the cabin crew also.
And I am not complaining about the MAS seat is too small or whatever, but some people just can be so inconsiderate, push down the leaning seat completely, leaving barely some space for your my beer belly. Everytime I exhale I can feel my belly touches the seat in front already. fml
Okay stop. Maybe I should start working out already. I should totally control myself so that not to write something else off the topic already.

Fyi, it is summer in the UK and Europe. So the weather is almost like in Malaysia, except the wind is chill.
NOT FUN. T___T cos I like cooler weather. We are all born and raised in Malaysia already scare of the burning hot weather. That is why we all like to go to Genting or Cameron Highland once it is holiday right.
But anyway, the convo happens to be in the summer. bo huat.

Hay's Galleria, London

We reached London at about 5pm in the evening and we reached jie's apartment about 7pm at night to put our luggages. The night time here in Europe is nothing like in Malaysia. The sun only set at about 9pm in the summer! So 7~8pm is still very bright like in the daytime! Then we had our "dinner". (not sure it is a dinner or not, cos it is morning in Malaysia and it is almost 8pm in London, but the day still bright, and we have jet lag.wtf)

Train station in London

The next day, we head to Paris, France.
Oh, and I decided to post it separately.

The entire trip was planned by my jie and her friends, without the aid from any travel agency. So it's kinda like a "budget trip", and like a "backpack trip" also. Not exactly, but erm, just pretend it to be similar la. haha. But the trip is definitely was planned to be cost-saving.

So this entire trip as I mentioned in the title of the post includes:
Map of Europe
(Based on the colour of the circle)
Black - London, UK
Yellow - Paris, France
Red - Rome, Milan and Venice, Italy
Orange - Vatican City
Blue - Zurich, and Lucerne, Switzerland

Bus station in London

Hopefully by the end of the holidays, I can manage to write all the parts for the trip.
