foreign language
finding information about traveling in foreign country can be fun and a nightmare sometimes... The more i do research about the places I want to go, the more anxious I become.... but when it comes to finding out their local train or bus services... it's a nightmare... especially when it comes in French or Spanish and no button for "English" in their language option which is not offered in the first place.... so what do u do??? well... use Google translate lor... but sometimes... the translation come out a bit funny and it makes you wonder if it's being translated correctly.. :s
in Spanish
Note the underline, it reads: Trains are only sold to 62 days.
huh?

GPS
Sometimes... GPS also tak boleh harap....
What happen is.. we have chosen to go to our destination via the shortest route, because sometimes it really offer great English country view... but on this particular occasion... I think the smartass GPS thought that we are traveling by horse... :s
Note where the GPS is pointing us where to go... in front is someone's house and it's a dead end as well..
This is where the GPS wants us to go... :s
The picture may not be clear, but this is actually public footpath, and just next to it is a stream. Although the car we drove is small... but i don't think we can drive pass the 2 wooden pole without scratching both side of the car!

I thought it's supposed to be spring, but it snowed yesterday!!!
Botak tree!
Back in Bowness town where I've stayed for 6 months. The butcher shop in front made the best Cumberland sausage that I've ever taste! :)Travel plan
after MIA & hiding underneath the blanket for a few weeks.... I'm back... hehe...
Winter time really really is gloomy & thus has affected my brain's ability to function properly....
Spring is here... or at least I think it is... the day now is brighter... and it only gets dark around 6pm... birds are chirping more happily and the sky just seems much better in my favorite color: blue! :)
After much planning and hiding underneath the duvet, we decided to only start traveling to Europe in late August for straight 2 months. Again, we will ditch our job and purely travel for the whole 2 months going to as many country & cities that we can cover and we are trying to stick to a budget of GBP3000 per person for that 2 months (inclusive of all travel cost), that will works out to be GBP50 per day per person. and the country that we wan to cover? ALOT!!!! we are still working out which country we have to skip... sigh... what a waste right? Anyway.. this is another 'Siau' project by 2 siau people.
Part 1 of travel plan:
To fly from Manchester to Amsterdam. the journey starts there, as we slowly travel to Belgium (Chocolate!!! Here I come!!), Paris, Bordeux (maybe), Lisbon (Portugal), Spain (still haven't work out which city to go yet), Rome, Venice, Florence, Tuscany (Italy), then may fly to Athen (Greece), Istanbul in Turkey and perhaps want to go nearer to Mt Ararat (if we can find out the national park that holds the Noah's Ark) and the last destination is Germany.. just in time for Octoberfest! :)
We also want to go Eygpt and a whole lot of other country... but that really depends on the time we have & $$$
Part 2 of travel plan:
After Europe, Dom's younger brother will be coming to UK, so we plan to go Switzerland for a skip trip in the winter
Part 3 of travel plan:
in Jan 2010, we'll be spending a week in London before our flight back to Malaysia. Sad but glad at the same time... Our flight back to KL is on the 28th Jan 2010 from Airasia for only GBP200! :)
Do you think we can survive with a budget of GBP3000 for 2 months for so many place? :s
