回來了

6 個月多的德國working holiday, 隨著好友婚期漸近而結束
我想任誰都覺得這6個月過得好快

於我, 這段旅程
頭段是平常
中段是煎熬
後段是瘋狂暴走義無反顧

好在此刻已經覺得自己唔洗睇心理醫生
機場來接機的好友也沒有像我當初想象的被我擁抱壓至窒息或眼淚淹死
好友的婚禮做姊妹做MC 也沒有崩潰痛哭

經過在荷蘭Zeist 一單車3人+1大提琴車毀而我差點斷腳的意外
經過保險剛過期, 至要在德國睇醫生既一日
經過跟你在法蘭克褔聖誕巿集同polizei 及吠著的警犬擦身而過驚比人拉之驚魂
身上帶著一點點snowboard 而來, 還有不知何時怎樣冒出來的瘀傷
袋著不知道是否能過關的紀念品
帶著一顆死過萬劫不復過會慢慢康復起來的心
回來了

平安的回來, 當初的目標已達成

0 planning journey 26-29 Nov

finally we made it..:) i have been longing for this day to come since the idea to travel within Germany was first mentioned at 10 Nov..from this day till we started the trip, we have discussed nothing apart from "make it adventurous". The only thing we have confirmed before I started my ride share from Munich, was to meet up at Stuttgart at 26 Nov night.

I guess we were both a bit afraid of the other one was just playing around...my heart was hanging in the air till we eventually met in person in the station

On the way to Stuttgart, Prince managed to book a hostel room....otherwise looking for a place to stay at such a cold night could be disastrous.

27 Nov

Visited the Christmas Market & BMW World in Stuttgart, and decided to head to Frankfurt. Spent an hour  in McDonald looking for ride (Prince's first time to get a ride!) & hostel/hotel.. as there were quite a lot of choices of place to stay in Frankfurt so we ended up walking in one of them without booking in advance

On the ride we met a second generation Korean guy of my age. When talking about working enviornment in Asia, I was surprised that Prince felt confronted, the discussion was almost turned into a fight. 

He also recommended us 2 party places- Velvet & Living. He was even caring enough to give us his name card in case we could not get a place to stay or we need any help.

The same night we went to shops nearby and the club Living, very up-to-date music. A bit expensive but its the best I have been to so far. Heard Velvet was even better. 

We have only booked a single room for 1 guest hoping I could just sneak in..but it was actually busted.. this reception guy was asking me this and that and blah, I just said something and he also laughed a bit..XD 

28 Nov

We were not charged extra and Prince was asked a funny question by the other reception guy when checking out. kakaka.

Wandered a bit in the city center and the Christmas Market. Our originally thought was to see Duesseldorf. Due to a couple of reasons we decided to switch to Dortmund. The ride & hostel for today and ride for 29 Nov was all arranged in a Starbucks.

The hostel room in Dortmund was very nice at such a price! And same..we only booked a single room for 1 guest..this was the cheapest stay we had thoughout the trip

29 Nov

Also walked around in the Christmas Market. Took the ride at noon. Prince's journey has ended but mine still continues.. :) no exact schedule of returning to Munich at the moment

4-8 Nov 一個女仔遊Amsterdam

前提..基於時間太急, 這個trip 我只係找左host 寄宿就出發,完全係唔知有咩睇+冇計劃要去邊的


4 Nov

為答謝朋友比我在frankfurt 屈左咁耐蛇, 今日請左佢去The Westin Grand 既Sushimoto 度食野.. 在5星級酒店內食好唔錯既刺身(新鮮!)午餐都只係15歐. 最愛食日本野既我簡直覺得係天堂 (可惜只此一家!!).  O係德國食日本野係好貴, 種類好多都係紫菜黃瓜蟹柳O個種. 話說我之前在Munich 在超市買盒較為新鮮既sushi 都要10歐.. .

當晚, 坐左人生最抵既ride share, 由Frankfurt hauptbahnhof 去Amsterdam Centraal (both 都係中央車站)都只須15 歐, 到我比錢O個刻我至敢相信係真, 哈哈!!! (其他offer, 價錢由30-45歐不等!) 同車3個女仔都好nice!

到左Amsterdam Centraal, 一如以往都係冇方向唔知自己去邊. Couchsurfing 個host 只係叫我去Leidseplein, 都係問人至知原來要再搭tram 去, 同幾號tram -.- 

我問路人點買飛, 佢叫我在中間上車會有個售票員. 車到了, 安全起見在車頭問司機, 上車, 望極都唔見有人賣飛..人人都係用張類近八達通既野O都.. 就咁, 就坐左霸王車.............

落車, 原來係一個酒吧既集中地. 我個host 係keyboard player, 唔駛表演就O係酒吧做MC. 拖住個喼去酒吧區真係災難, 人又多, 酒吧又唔比我入, 最後坐starbucks 等..之後佢同時host 既巴西女仔出左黎找我, 一齊返左host 家放低野, 再返酒吧找host

點知去到等..到3點幾4點都唔見人, 原來host 返左屋企already ........-.-

5 Nov


早上阿host 入黎發左小脾氣..話佢先係host 唔係個巴西女仔.. 不過好快冇野

之後就同這個女仔一齊出發sightseeing

Amsterdam 真係單車城巿, 早上就去左租單車, 去左睇梵高博物館, 輕鬆單車遊Vondelpark, 秋冬的景色, 綠黃紅既樹葉都有, 靚! 經過Heineken experience, 但冇入

之後就去超巿買個求其晚餐, 阿host 又話佢會去the waterhole (琴日間酒吧), 今次就再跟去啦! 晚點個女仔返左家先, 我諗住要等埋host 一齊走..中間走左去vondelpark, 夜mama 真係靜到呢..返到去酒吧又唔見左阿host, 又冇聽電話.. 就自己踩單車返家(琴日都係個女仔車我返..認得路算係咁!)

6 Nov


晨早起身諗住沖完涼再sightsee..但熱水爐壞左, 天氣涼又天陰..只有約9度左右, 但係頂硬上沖左個涼..真係呢..唔會唔記得果種感覺....冇病倒, 算係咁!!!!!

這天去左坐canal cruise, 沿運河睇河邊的景點, 搞笑係中央車站附近果間餐廳, 一睇就覺得係仿香港珍寶, 個船長介紹時, 原來真係抄香港的!

去左圖書館, 好modern 好靚喎! 之後拿單車, 去左間唔錯既cafe 飲coffee

By the way, 這裡的"coffee shop" 並不是買coffee 的, 是賣大麻的, 到這天, 第一日去酒吧有人offer 過, 不過當日冇試. 再行左冇開既Albert Cuypstraat market, 冇諗過星期日冇開, 失策了!!

之後返一返家, 比阿host 捉住左睇佢播佢表演片..晚餐是Doritos 加蕉+ blueberry juice XD, 今晚阿host 真係表演喇!!!! 真係play keyboard 喇! 同埋終於唔係the waterhole, 所以好啦晚上又落酒吧... 今次係the bulldog amsterdam, nice! 環境+live音樂都唔錯, 真係坐低聽音樂慢慢飲杯酒的地方, 這天, 認識了一對孖仔,  試了weed+ tobacco joint, 可能我唔識吸, "訓練"左好多次先知有咩感覺- 個人會覺得輕飄飄, 放鬆的. 小試而己, 沒有stoned. 阿host 見我吹水興起, 又自己返左屋企先囉

7 Nov

今日巴西女仔要返學, 冇計劃的一天, 琴晚成5點幾6點先訓, 點幾先起身..之後有熱水涼沖感覺真係好幸福!!!!!!!

起左身就上網想睇下有咩地方去, 阿host 又入左黎吹水, 最後到入黑都冇做咩, 就食晚飯, 睇左小小hang over..再出去勇闖紅燈區, 其實感覺都安全! 同埋原來有分咩街肥d 醜d 平d..咩街靚d 正d 貴d ...估唔到既係有lady boy ..! 搭車回家遲落了一個站, 好彩一路係直路..........

8 Nov


最後一天, 也只有早上! 因為要還單車, 趁早踩完先去還! 踩左去Bloemenmarket, 可能秋天冇乜特別野, 另一目標就係踩去這條Magere Brug ...最後踩到真係迷左路, 唯一問左一次路, 原來佢就在我面前200米. 哈哈~

還完單車(還完唔見埋頂帽T_T ) 趕返家執野, 急急寫明信片, 放低比阿host 寄, 就飛出去搭電車出中央車站

今日也是有承諾沒有兌現之日...................................... 很低落

一向搭開的火車都沒有custom 要過, 所以一向都早小小去到火車站, 原來去London 係要過關的, 個關員問我點解咁遲, 我真係答我唔知原來要過關架..XD... 話又話我遲..佢地scan 我d  野又傾計..scan 完一路都唔出黎 ..-.-

noteback ...明信片個host 係冇寄+唔見左........:( ..係既....本來都唔係佢責任要幫我, 不過.. :( 佢又話寄左..之後再問起就改口..
