Never Expect Too Much...

The Sorrow Lion Monument

Back to my traveling story, never expect too much. In my previous trip, even though Zurich or Geneva is the big city in Switzerland, those of them were not included in my trip. Mainly coz of the sorrow lion. Due to my fren had been to Switzerland, so she was the one who planned for the Switzerland part and I was in charged for the Italy part. She does did the research from the travel guide, friend, internet and so on. But sometimes you cant really believe in those pictures. Picture can be fake and lie. You can use different technique to edit the picture. However, normally if u travel to a new country, the first city will be travel are their capital city. But I not mean that Lucern is not beautiful enough, indeed, Lucern is gorgeous. However, the sorrow lion is quite disappointing us. As the all the information stated there are monument, so we are expecting we are going to a more grand places. While we were there, only three words can describe our feeling, what the fuck, is this the attraction that we are looking for. It is just behind a post office and very simple and crude. No further description about the history, only a lion sculpture lying at the hole. And what the point for us to visit the sorrow lion monument and totally dont know about the story behind.


Beautiful Royal Crescent

But The Fact Is......

Another example is Bath. Bath is nice too, but we are very disappointed about the most beautiful attraction--Royal Crescent. If u have watched The Duchess, u will know which attraction I refer to. I have a lot of expectation about this attraction and I just want to see how beautiful it is. But the only things she gave me was disappointed. We started to doubt it is the right attraction that we looking for. Is the picture too perfect or the light too good to mislead us.

Bridge of Sigh

What Happened to My Bridge of Sigh???

Venice

Venice as well, a lot of ppl say Venice is a romantic city. In my opinion, I think Venice is nice to visit once in ur life time but not really romantic. The buildings are old, the water is stink and is a very small town. But there are quite different from other city in Italy. My fren ask me do u think Venice is romantic? I told her no matter where u are, if u are with ur beloved, any country also can be romantic. Just depend who is ur company.

旅行

旅行,主要的目的是去了解人家的文化,生活与消费。当然还有参观人家的自然风景与文化遗产。可是,去了这么多次亚洲国家,我都只会逛街购物。所以旅行对我来说,真的是一笔很大的消费。尤其是欧洲各国,都会给我很大的压力。在亚洲,东西尚算便宜,可是随便一个欧洲小国,消费都高过马来西亚。所以每次出发前,我都要做好心里准备和再三吩咐自己不可乱花钱,可是每次都乱买东西,然后才来乱后悔一通,有时有些事情真的不是我可以控制的。有时真觉得自己是多么的肤浅,也许我应该每次都用第一次的心情再回去各个国家,所以我想从新认识台湾,泰国,新加坡和香港。下次的目标想定在Cambodia, Vietnam, Lao, Nepal等等这些落后国家。

去了瑞士,才知道世界这么大,自己多么的无知与肤浅。有些风景,真的不是照片可以诠释的,更不是言语可以描述的。瑞士的美,真的不是我可以用几张照片或言语描述的。去过的人,应该懂我的感受。再还没到过瑞士之前,只知道瑞士是出产Toblerone Chocolate,Swatch, SIGG 和一些很极限的知识。去了之后,才知道瑞士真是一个雪之国。她的美,真的会让你以为你就生活在童话故事里。从Lucern到Interlaken的途中,我就一直惊呼好像圣诞老人的家哦!!!就只知道到处都是白雪茫茫,漂亮极了。我想她的壮观,是我一辈子都不会忘记的。而且原来瑞士是没有自己的语言的,一些地区是speak法语,一些地区是speak德语(忘了南还是北瑞士),所以他们的人民大概都会这两种语言。瑞士也不用欧币,他们主要用Swiss France (CHF),可是在某些店里,欧币还是可行的。而且他们的生活水平真是高得吓人,一瓶Mineral Water就要5CHF。虽然英镑的汇率高些,可是生活水平也没有像瑞士这么高。在瑞士,随便吃一顿饭,就要10多或20多CHF以上。这给予英国,简直可以吃大餐了。难怪瑞士不是每个人都住得起,除非你有很高的薪水。大多数在本国购买他们所生产的东西,都会比较便宜,比如在法国买LV就会比其它国家来得便宜,但是我极力不推荐在瑞士购买他们所生产的东西,因为算来算去,他们所生产的东西,竟然卖得比英国还贵,那不如在英国或其它欧洲国家买,除非你要买瑞士刀或明信片。瑞士的滑雪场地也是一极棒的,难怪这么多人千里迢迢到瑞士去滑雪。我也搞不清楚他们主要人民是来自那一国,只知道他们也要很多外来居民,所以他们的人民都相当亲切。我觉得瑞士真的是一个毕生必到的一个国家,绝不让你失望和后悔。顺便告诉你们一个小插曲,不要以为酒店都一定是24小时开着。原来在瑞士的小镇上,酒店大多数11点就会关门了,除了一些星级比较高或大的酒店才会24 小时不打烊。第一天到达瑞士时,就给我们遇上这个情景了,真的是叫天不灵,叫地不应啊,唯有另觅酒店。也托这样的情景,才让我们有机会居住在5星级酒店和让我们的旅程增添多一份色彩。嘻嘻。。。

洗碗

在华人的文化里,第一次去男朋友家作客见家长,有着洗碗的文化。大多数女生为了表现出贤惠的一面,都会自动自发地去洗碗。即使不是见家长,到朋友家作客,女生都会选择洗碗来感谢对方的招待。刚刚在洗碗时,我就再想,不知道外国人也有没有这一种文化。可是在外国,大多数家里都有洗碗机,那他们到底需不需要表现出贤惠的一面呢?到底外国家庭注不注重女生贤不贤惠呢?我想我该找个外国人来谈个恋爱,顺便调差一些异国文化。哈哈。。。但是现在年轻人的步伐太快了,不知道现代女生还会不会做出这么虚伪的动作呢???

情话。。。

今天,听到最感人的情话就是:
就问你一个问题,
你不做公主不行吗?
真的死也不行吗?
你不要做公主,
只做我的女人不行吗?

Worst trip ever

Switzerland

After backed from Europe, everyone asked me how was my trip? Did I enjoy my trip? and blah blah blah...... In honest, I really can't give anyone of you a proper answer. I just can say is between nice and suck. Nice is because the scenery and attractions of the country. Suck is because went with the wrong companion. But this trip really let me grow up a lot and make me understand more about myself. I'm glad that I have this trip--my worst trip ever. Maybe this is why I love travel--fun and unpredictable.

Embarrassing

操!对我来说,最尴尬和耻辱的一件事,就是穿错季节的衣服。久未出门,今天一出门,就遇到这么糗的事情,真想找个洞跳下去。幸好没人认识我,要不是我真想死了算了。原来春天已经悄悄的来临了。虽然现在也只有5度到10度,可是街上的行人已经换上风衣或轻外套了。而我,还穿着笨重的寒衣加上雪靴。走在街上,唯有我是格格不入的。真是丢脸丢到家了。
