Greenwich!

Taking a little small break from my studying now.

Oh we went Greenwich in celebration of our 6th month! Yes! it has been 6 months!

The main attraction was, of course! the Greenwich line! haha but other than that, there were the painted hall and maritime museum too!

Pictures time!

Painted Hall - the whole hall is painted, including all the "cravings" on the wall. It is really exquisite work here. I was fooled by it till I went closer to it! haha

See all the pillars? They are not real!! haha

This is the chapel where the students in Greenwich University willl have their graduation. So cool! Must be a nice graduation with the company of the big organ.

Nice campus right? And having two tourist attractions in it, makes it even more special! How I wish Imperial campus is this nice, instead of the boring buildings now.

Anchor! Bigger than my handspan la!

This is actually a British boat! haha looks very much like some Chinese stuff right? And there is Captain Louise for you =)

Very nice stained glass! It makes the churches so special!

Found this weirdlooking brush in the museum. Hmm makes nice hair for me? haha hippy look.

Haha even the toilet in the maritime museum are weird! Sailor's toilet? They called it 'heads' right?

The Greenwich Line! And both of us are in different time zone now! haha so cool.

This is how far away home is... hai. Eh I mean Singapore of cos! Not KL la!

Greenwich Park - So much better than the gloomy looking Hype Park! haha The Greenwich Park makes very good spot for wedding photos!

If you are wondering whats those green cubes are.... they are mobile toilets! There were like hundreds of them at the corner of the park.
Not sure why but Louise was certainly unhappy about it! hahahaha

Till next time!

Uscita!

Yes Uscita was the first italian word that I picked when I was at the airport, because I was looking for the exit! hahaha

And this little word kept appearing around me... On the bus, metro, shopping centre and even the Colosseum!

Looking at all the request and scolding about my dusty cobweb blog, I feel such ashamed of it. haha like Joe said I have only blogged 9 times since I got to London. (eh joe why did you even bother counting in the first place?)

Italy was a land of discovery for me.

1. Ciao! this word of greeting is actually italian! (maybe many of you know that alrdy =(
2. Bolognese sauce came from Italy, from a town called Bologna! haha
3. Leonardo Da Vinci was an Italian.
4. The Last Supper is in Milan!
5. Italy produces 2nd largest amount of wine in the world!

After this trip, I think I will not go back Italy for a long long time. haha 16 days of travelling was indeed tiring, being over ambitious in the beginning. But still the trip was great fun and of course with the fun loving and crazy company.

Time for Photos

Rome.

The place of monuments and monuments. After Rome, we were so jaded about monuments, the other churches or fountains just could stir up any interest. hahaha

Colosseum- Can't believe how badly preserved the colosseum is. Such a pity, otherwise it would have been magnificent.

Vatican City - Awaiting the Pope
We coincidentally bumped into the Easter Sunday in Vatican. Sadly, it was raining very badly. So we did not stay throughout the whole mass. But the place was very beautiful and artistic.

The walkway to Vatican City

In St Peter Basilica, Vatican

The Famous Trevi Fountain! (not really a fountain though just ripples)

Us drinking from the Trevi Fountain. Apparently Trevi Fountain is about love? haha

Last but not least.... The gelato!!!!! Look at the deco of the gelato!
(p.s. we ate gelato almost everyday)

I will update more again because there is a lot of stuff to update. But if you wan the pictures, they are all on Facebook!
