Back from Europe!
It was really tiring, but worth it. Went to Paris and London for about a bit over a week, came back on Saturday night. It was my first time going to a continent other than Asia or North America haha, definitely a whole new level of experience for me! Went together with family. We decided to go there on our own since tour groups usually have super tight schedules and a ton of time spent on the road instead of at destinations. I think travelling on our own gave us a chance to immerse ourselves in their culture, I mean we walked around either on foot or with their public transit, no one was there to guide us (except when we asked random people on the streets for the way). Heck, when we were in London, we didn’t even have a city map. I THOUGHT the google map on my blackberry would work, but most of the time it couldn’t even find a satellite. In the end we just gave up and only used the tube/bus maps as guide haha. GREAT EXPERIENCE! I dunno if I can find time to post up pictures, but if I do I’ll definitely put an update here first. 
Recently I have been re-reading some Chinese internet novels, last time I read these was back in highschool. Sure brings back memories… I remember staying up all night reading these books, tearing up every time. Haha good times…
