Finally my last destination in Europe, Paris!! Paris is one of my favourite cities in Europe beside London.. I hope i have the chance to go back again!!
We first went for the free new europe tour and went to sight see local attractions, we then decide to pick those few that we want to further sightsee such as Champs Elysées, Notre Dame Cathedral, The Louvre and my dream The Eiffel Tower! And not forgetting to help my mum n bro to buy stuff from Louis Vuitton!!
And of cuz the reason for going in to The Louvre was to see the Mona Lisa! heehee!
We manage to catch The Eiffel Tower in the night and went v early the next morning to buy the ticket to reach the top of Eiffel Tower! It was so windy that we had to practically run around the tower to take photos!!
We also went to Chateau de Versailles but we did not go into the Palace cuz the queue is too long=(
The last night we went to Moulin Rouge and had dinner nearby, the beer 1664 is really nice!!
Overall, i would say that the whole exchange is a memorable experience and is something that i will cherish forever. =)
I am going Hokkaido soon and will post about it when I'm back!!=)

xmas in a church.
The next day we decide to visit the Vatican City! and we manage to see the Pope, so lucky rite?! and he wished everyone merry xmas in various languages!too bad the museums are closed on xmas =( and the pizzas in Vatican City is really nice and they will weigh the pizzas and charge it accordingly.
We also visited the tourist attractions like Trevi Fountain, Colosseum, Spanish Steps and many more!

Suppose to be studying for test
tmr but decide to rest awhile and continue blogging my year end trip! this post will be about Venice! Venice is a rather small but beautiful country, a pity is the foggy weather when we were there.=(
When we reach Venice, it was quite late le so we decided to pamper ourselves with gd food and wine! but we realise that the wine the waiter recommended is twice the price in the super market! hahahah! Also, we decided to endure the cold so as to enjoy the "atmosphere" besides the river. I think it was due to the cold weather, I feel that the pasta was like the best pasta i have eaten in my life! (maybe cuz pasta originate from Italy ba! hahahah)
The next day, we took the boat taxi as the main transport in Venice is boat. Again, we went to the outdoor to see the scenery but i think the locals were thinking we are mad cuz it was so freaking cold! i rem one guy even hand signal to me telling me that it is better to stay inside!hahahah! and we went to the main attraction of Venice which is the St Mark's Square! of cuz there will be a lot of vendors selling masks and i manage to buy one for my bro=)
I would say Venice will be a great place to really relax and look at the beautiful scenery and enjoy the laid back european life!=)
Next up will be rome!=)

The first day in Barcelona, we went to take cable car up to a palace on the hilltop! from there, one can see the whole view of Barcelona! it was really beautiful!=)
The next day, we woke up early in the morning and went to see
Gaudi's building. We took lift to the top of the building and the view was awesome!
Then, we went to world trade center,
Picasso museum and shop at La
Rambls which is like orchard road in
singapore. We also try the local delights - tapas and the pictures are seen below:
