backpacking means waking up at 430am in e morning to cook ur own breakfast so tt u can eat at least smthing healthy n also because ure totally broke cus u screwed 500 francs wanting to give urself e thrill of ur life. i have officially 15 francs left for my accomodation tonight. dinner and breakfast i will cook from wadever i have left.
e swiss are really fanatical abt nature cus they have hiking track of all difficulties labelled out so damn clearly on e road u dun really need a map when u walk. nature is just so overwhelming is switzerland. e mountains e flowers roarrrrr
n u wldnt believe how happy i m not e see clouds today. it means my 100 plus frans is not spent in vain cus i can go to the tallest point in europe which also meanssss SNOW AND PURE WHITE MOUNTAINTS.
SWISS ALPSSSSSSSSSS

nature & us
if anything, i think e europeans are so much better with their conservation efforts than the asians.
in fact, they actually coexist with nature. e green parks with lush trees & cushiony grass which smells damn nice *ok i stuck my face to e ground & smelled it XD* is a great hangout for all students for studying or chilling out with a beer. ours are in a concrete buildings, canteen/library.
they love gardening, & if possible, herbs for garnishing food or for tea is always from the garden. ours are from supermarts, imported from where we wldn't care. & if one source failed, e govt wld always have other sources of foreign imports so it's e least of our worries.
so if u told them that global warming wld mean plants dying & crazy temperatures, it wld definitely freak them out more than it does to us cus it means a significant inconvenice to their lifestyle.
or maybe in a metroplitan city like sg where we have to specially make an effort to visit nature or when nature is confined to certain areas like parks or in damn ulu places way off e island ie chek jawa, nature to us is just another issue no different from that of the economic depression or if not of less importance.
e sad thing is tt we no longer see nature as being an intergral part of our lifestyle, at least e dependence on nature for food or for a beatiful garden where we cld sit there & laze in e sun is just smthing so foreign.
so maybe sg shld experience a snow storm... then will we know that nature is still e "mother" of earth.at least i can have e chance to make a snowman in sg too hee hee

darmstadt
having no 24h access to e computer & e net means i'm pretty out of touch with e world. so far, my calls home are those tt update me on what's really going on outside. like goh sotong getting chicken pox, air france crashing, singapore having it's first case of swine flu. wadever
darmstadt is a pretty small town.boring would be a word to describe it since it's a town catered mainly for e students of the university of darmstadt. apparently, a majority of e ppl here are students so i guess they wld want their students to study den party.
e only happening big big event was the schloss graben fest. my fren's host happily made me repeat e name "schloss" cus i cldn't pronounce it. it's smthing b.w slosh & shros. suxssssss... germans making fun of my german. XD basically it was insane PARTYING lots of smoking & beer while unknown bands sang angsty songs on stage. no cultural reason behind this fest actually, it's just simply to make money.
meanwhile, german class is great. cus most of e time i'm lost. season 20. wadever. haha. i'm not really into german. thinking of taking french when i come back. yeah. snobbish frenchman.
i wish i cld update more. so much things are happening & have happened. & yeah, despite all e fun, i do miss home. slap me. e ppl espcially. i can't click well with e ppl here so i'm left drifting from one clique to another. got pretty depressed after a while so i'm a loner now. poor poor simin.
maybe i'm just a difficult person to get along with....
