Hi all!

Ok, my maiden post on eurotrippee.

Am I the only one who still feels a bit… of that certain je ne sais quoi? (hehe, go paris, use french! Actually nah, it’s like ‘déjà vu’, it’s used in english, and it means “I don’t know what”.)

Like… a certain longing, a lil wee bit of sadness and this i-wish-i-were-back-there feeling?

And… also compounded by the kns-ness of the general public relative to Europeans. My friend commented that “too bad, we’re less evolved compared to them and the Indians.”

And also the fact that singlish is just way unsexy.

And unglam.

I actually miss the ham and cheese, despite having eaten it for like 23 out of 23 days.

A nice picture despite the numerous free gifts. Correct me if I'm wrong, but was this taken at the Champs de Mars? Ok I think not.

Oh, I am also pleased to announced that with Ms Bernice Oh Ling Zhi's help and a $29USD photorecovery software, we have managed to recover approximately 99.9% of the photos from the shit of the sd card that I have. Note to self, always use branded hardware cos the shit ones will always fail on you.

fontana de trevi. grainy due to high ISO.

hehe.

alright. more to come. ciao.

shawn.

meeting! (:

2007-06-15T18:53:00.000+08:00

2007-06-15T17:48:00.000+08:00

the omnipresent chatterbox eurotripper has finally decided to blog here.

i'm still tired really. and i'll probably add on to this when i feel like it in bangkok. but for now. i miss europe. i miss the quaint little sidewalks and alleys. most of all i miss you guys and the whole group thing. tousif wanted to write letters to everyone on the trip. shawn said that was a girl thing and requested that of me on my last night in rome. i'm lazy. still.

i sleep at 4.20.
it's official.

photos!

2007-06-14T04:12:00.000+08:00

hello it's the resident photowhore here speaking!

i've set up a multiply site for us.
eurotrippee.multiply.com
please go upload your photos there in the respective albums.
since we'd be developing some of our photos, we should upload them as "Hi-res originals (for ordering prints", instead of "Format for web (faster upload)".

guess the place?

i miss you all! and europe!
we MUST meet SOON.
share photos happiness love.
heeeeee (:

anyway, mr liangzhenchang is in a treating mood.
he's gonna treat us all to dinner after kokyeeonn and bimalvora are back!
&, shall we go fetch em from airport??

and, shawnielee says to watch shrek3/ocean's13/fantastic4.
4 of us watched pirates today.
those who mia-ed, i wanna see you all SOON.

MUACK! <3
hope this sustains y'all till we meet (:
i shall part with a pretty picture. feast your eyes:

actually, i intended to post a picture of me blowing a kiss taken on the flight to madrid. but i decided to spare you all. no, i'm just TOO SHY.
heeeeeee (:

lotsa love,
tammy! <3
miss me! (:

back to earth

2007-06-12T21:44:00.000+08:00

hi y'all

so now that i finally remember the username and password for this thing i can post a bit.

the much-aniticipated post-trip blues did indeed strike, but with much less severity than i thought they might. hope the rest of u are doing fine.

my bag is still untouched; like i said earlier the laundry waited 23 days it can wait a bit more haha.

This window has been open for 4 hrs and i can't think of anything to say, which wouldn't sound agonisingly cliched or horrendously weepy or boring soo..

it was a GREAT trip. the nicest part for me, which i will remember the most, is taking all the long walks to different places, walking alongside a different person each time and talking and getting to know u guys, whom i didn't quite know before this. that, was really nice.

see u soon for pirates

2007-05-20T00:30:00.000+08:00

i thought it would be good to have this here cos people like me are sometimes really too lazy to read emails. blogging is easier than emailing really. :)

Hey,

just some reminders i thought of:

1. Cards: those bringing cards, please know your call centre and what to do if you lose it (touch wood though), be aware of the service fee (S5.00 per use and the higher exchange rate (for example, in booking thalys, they used an exchange rate of 2.106 instead 2.07)), so spend carefully and be aware of credit limit.

2.Flights:those who booked, please check what we need to board, when and where to check in by.

Hostels:those who booked, please check that hostel knows we are coming, how to go there and how long it takes to airport/ train station.

those who used card to pay, please check whether you need to present the same card when you go over there as verification ( for example, thalys requires the same card used to be presented)

3. baggage limit: please note that the check-in baggage limit for the budget flights is 20kg, with the exception of ryanair which is 15kg (lowest) . hand carry is 10kg with dimensions of 55cm by 40cm by 20cm. some advice can be found at http://www.onebag.com/

4. embassy and emergency no.s as well as each others's contact details for our parents can be found in the file tripdetails.xls

5. language phraselist: could we have a phrase list for each language, i'll try to do a french one, eitherwise we might ggxx somewhere, please bring phrasebooks

6. final itinerary: to send to bernice who is compiling

7. FOOD- bring as much food as you can? because every food item brought over is money saved-i.e: peanut butter, nutella, instant noodles, cans of tuna. but not too overboard of cos.

2007-05-19T13:30:00.000+08:00

a little something for the worried parents to mull over

full itinerary
contact list (in case mummy can't find you i can call your friends.bleah.)
hostel phone no. list (i believe yeeonn has one of these)

and i need your itineraries so i can collate everything!RARRRH.

my friend alvin who has been to milan says that there is a good factory outlet in milan near lake como.WOOTS.will the mister in charge of milan please take note hor.

2007-04-27T03:24:00.000+08:00

stuff to include in your detailed plans:

flight details
airport transfer (do check if the hostel provides any form of this and pricing and booking procedures. it is always more convenient to opt for this)
hostel check in timings (if arriving at night please ensure there is a 24 hour reception of sorts cos angmohs are lazy and will tend to go home very early)
meals (please try to plan ahead so we know whether or not we should get something from the airport lest the guys starve on the way to the hostel.i dun mind starving really.)
prepare the train routes before hand (e.g have a map of the train lines)
entrance fees for the various attractions and decide if we should visit them or not. try not to cram too many places in one day cos we don't want to amazing race to finish the itinerary. and try to include a variety of attractions. one whole day in museums can be a lil draining. ty to include some outdoor markets? ;)
wake up timings
climate
till later

packing list

2007-04-26T19:46:00.000+08:00

tops
a jacket
bottoms

stuff to note:
some of my seniors brought along cans of tuna maybe we could consider that?
please do not bring your i/c or driving license along. unnecessary baggage that would cost a bomb to replace
write down your credit card number and card loss hotline number somewhere other than your wallet.
also note that in europe you can be fined for carrying fake guccis or LVs and the lot so please don't bring.
consume narcotics at your own risk.

and the prize for the most enthusiastic eurotripper goes to
LIM YUHUI
cos she has finished planning her madrid itinery and it is HOSEH.

2007-04-22T00:28:00.000+08:00

a few more things to take note of

money issues
the supp card thing is quite important and we should ask our parents asap cos credit card companies take a while to process applications.and limits can be set in case of card theft etc. so no worries. the point is to get your own supp card for your own safety. and i think we should set a few ground rules about money on monday.

mobile phones
roaming charges in europe are supposedly exorbitant.but i think for our own safety we should ALL bring roaming phones. ala call your telco and pay for the roaming and not rely on the cannot call but can sms thingy. and please bear this in mind cos we have to tell the telco quite some time before we fly off to the activate the service.

please check for passport expiry dates.

HOLA!

2007-04-21T20:12:00.000+08:00

i've bought a main guide book for europe that we can refer to while planning and bring along with us during the trip so that at least we have some maps and tips that we can fall back on. there was this really good deal at borders and i got let's go europe on a budget 07 for 17.16SGD. an absolute steal. so i'll bring it along on monday. and the cost is meant to be shared so 1.70 SGD per person please. the other guide books available were either too expensive or not exactly meant for budget travellers. the mtv europe guide was more for fashionistas or party animals. and the lonely planet guide was frickin 50 bucks. so let us be glad that we have this book.

stuff to take note of:
please remember to bring one copy of your reservations for hostels/flights so that we can do the accounts properly and check for any minor errors in booking so that something can still be done about them

bring notebooks to take note of the stuff we have to prepare on our own. (i bought 3 paperchase notebooks today so that i could get the borders 25% off if u buy 4 items or more. yays. soo worth it. how often do u get paperchase on discount. TWENTY FIVE percent sumore. zomg. i snatched. but they are small notebooks that don't cost much la.no worries.and i didnt buy anything else from zara or forever 21 cos the store was in a mess (as usual) and there was basically nothing to buy if u choose to look unpregnant for spring summer.kies i should leave the rest of the commentary to my own blog orangenpeenk.blogspot.com if you're curious :)

where was i?oh stuff to take note of

please everyone try to persuade ur parents to get u a supp card.
my mum seems to have forgotten that a few months ago she happily said then we should get her a supp card. am working on that now.

and our flight is scheduled for 21may 2040. which means that we will have to be at terminal 1 (oh gawd so ulu but cheap flight no choice :( ) at 1840 for check in etc. (i dun tink TG has the online SQ frills that i am slightly accustomed to so manual check in we have to do.) so arrange for parents to send u off. am forcing my mum to send me off cos i will be away for frickin 23 days and i cannot leave the airport without anyone standing behind the glass panel to say goodbye to.

and for the transit in bangkok. please go get some thai baht so we can have a nice final luxurious meal before we plunge into the depths of poverty and smelly backpackism upon touch down in madrid.

kies so this is what i've been dreaming of so far. fly off from unglam terminal one and land in bangkok. i will talk about more stuff when my dreams progress.

adios!
