Back =)

I'm back from my amsterdam and belgium trip. It was really great... had loads of fun even though it was really exhausting.

Saw the prettiest tulips in Keukenof... and a plethora of canals in amsterdam itself. Tried pancakes, space muffins and magic mushrooms (it wasn't that baaaaaad really... I'm not a druggie!) Went to two museums... Rijksmuseum and Van gogh. (I bought two paintings!) Saw a couple of churches too... I think I'm having the too-many-churches syndrome. It's quite difficult to remember the church names lol. We took the canal tour as well... but that was rather disappointing. I was actually falling asleep... -_- It was just toooo slow. Oh and we had a spareribs buffet on the first day... it was crazy! We had so much ribs I felt like I was gonna explode lol. It was really worth it though... ^_^

Brugge was quaint... and we had really delicious waffles there. There was this lake of love that was really tranquil. There was this other canal/lake (I can't really tell -_-) with swans resting on the grass beside it. It was such an alluring sight. Saw another church... and we took cool photos! Kinda managed to capture the light shining on us. I can't think of a better way to explain it heh. We saw the town hall as well... and the squares. We couldn't go to the belfort tower because it was closed though. I really like the ambience in Brugge... it's somewhat peaceful. You can amble around without feeling the rush.

Brussels was more city like compared to Brugge but it was still really unique. We saw the peeing boy lol. Had so much chocolates in belgium =D We ate mussels in Brussels toooo (it rhymes eh) and it wasn't all that expensive. I had so much mussels... I'm quite surprised I didn't get a stomachache. We were in Brussels on Easter Sunday and we visited this church called St Michael's I think... and there was a service going on. I really liked the church... it was really very bright compared to the rest I've seen so far. Hmm what else... there was the statue of the unknown soldier and another statue that we rubbed to get good luck =D We saw the Atomium place too! Didn't go up cause it was too expensive but it was a cool sight to see... mini europe was too pricey too bah. It was still pretty okay walking around =)

I've got a new nickname from the trip. Some people now call me the 'tulip flower'. Magic mushrooms make you do stupid things. In my case, it makes a person laugh hysterically as well. That's all I can remember so far... toooooo tired to think.

I think I'm feeling confused.
