Three happening months

Alright, there have been too many things happened for the past three months, I have graduated, I have moved from Nottingham to Liverpool, I have started working, I have been on europe trip with family, I have changed my work place from Wallasey to Prenton, I've been off for holidays and now I finally get to slow down a little and have my own time to do loads of other stuffs which have been accumulating since then. Every single event has been the greatest thing ever happened and it just happened all in a roll. At some point, I felt really tired but actually, contented. I'm feeling really thankful for having my mum's company throughout this critical time, it's a transition from student life to working life, she's been pampering me with her more than excellent cookings plus 'intensive care' and my dad's visit for the past 3 weeks has been the highlight of the 3 months. Just gonna say less but show more pictures now as I'm really tired...physically and mentally! =.=


right after dad's arrival, we've been touring london for 3D2N, i was dead tired even in the beginning of the trip. I'm half an expert now for london's tubes, buses and even cruise! :P


Glasgow, there's nothing much this city can offer really. trust me don't waste your time. We were there partly because we flew from Gatwick airport


Scottish tapas and whisky, not my cup of tea, the haggis and shrimp salad were the nicest of all, the others were a little too raw for me, still fancy cooked food. Oh the famous scottish whisky, the waitress asked 'what kind of whisky would you like? I gave her the ??? look, and she immediately replied 'Are you a whisky drinker? (guess she knows I'm not but just for the sake of asking), then I said 'oh i'm not could you please decide for me', I didnt know what kind of whisky I've drank that day to be honest, she just told me it was something sweet. In fact, it could burn your eosophagus with just tiny little sip!


It has been raining the whole day in Edinburgh, the castle didnt look as spectacular as I expected, everything seemed to be dull probably due to the bad weather, but I like walking along the Royal Mile thou, love the old buildings and roads, it makes you feel like you have gone back to the past of scotland. Edinburgh is much more worth a 2nd visit than Glasgow for sure.

The trip to Sweden and Denmark with my parents has been the most memorable trip I've ever had (not saying formally here but I really mean it, it really was an experience you will remember for life!) I have to mention here, we really appreciate the 5 stars hospitality provided by Marie and Mark, she and her husband have been such a lovely couples making sure we feel at home, they have been a very good tour guide throughout the trip. Thanks for the warm welcomes and goodbyes!


The building behind is called the lipstick as its look, one of the landmark of Halmstad. It was cold in Sweden, well..of course it was. It's really expensive to travel there, you've to pay for the toilet everywhere even when you're dining in the restaurant. As their government tax is really high (higher than UK, around 30% and you pay tax on utility as well) hence the high living expenses. The life of the people there seem much more relaxed than British, slower pace I supposed, and they live in big houses and have huge backyard gardens, how lovely the life would be but the weather kind of put me off immediately I think about it :P


On the way from Gothenburg, we drove past an IKEA, its originated from Sweden! We actually went in one of the IKEA and tried the real famous Swedish meat balls, a must try during your visit! Also don't forget to nip in a copy of original swedish IKEA catalogue, it's a souvenior for people like me who doesn't want to pay but still want to keep something as memory HAHAH although I serious don't know how to read apart from looking at the pictures in it :P


An expected disappointment was that the famous mermaid in Denmark has been moved to display at Shanghai EXPO 2010, hence the big screen there playing live video of the mermaid in the hall, to cheer the tourists up a little, well...just a little mermaid.


Tell you what, this is a must try in Denmark, a long slim red sausage! I forgot what it's name but taste fabulous!!! Very chewy and elastic outer skin, the meat is really juicy and yummy too, you can have it with mustard or ketchup as you like. It's the most amazing sausage I've tasted so far. I love to recommend good food, this one has to be top of the list, its even better than german curry wurst trust me

right...I can hear my stomach's grumbling now at the time of nearly 12am, it's about time to feel hungry and to sleep over so that you won't be over-feeding. So good night everybody, I shall update a little bit more about life in Liverpool next time as I'm now moving into the 2nd phase of settling down, hope I will be fine =)
