India Photos

Just realized so much blog entries but they are just words words words and they say a picture speaks a thousand words so I am going to be posting some selected photos from my trips.


First up - India

2 winters

I just realized I had the opportunity to enjoy 2 winters this year. 1 in the Northern Hemisphere and the other in the Southern Hemisphere. Both winters are different, one is mild to say the least though without proper heating, it is still quite hard to bear.

The other one brought different experience. Days of snow and artic cold winds but it was just as enjoyable as the other. Although you could tell the difference between the 2 based on how many layers of clothes are you wearing.

Winter is truly ranked top or 2nd best of my favorite seasons although I am born in a country which is summer from Jan to Dec. Arrghhh to get my fix I have to travel out of the country and it just burn a hole in my pocket but they are truly worth it.

Hateful

Just when you want to upload photos, the program failed you and then can never relogged in again...what a hateful program arrgghhh.

Does anyone have any recommendations where to upload photos? I think I had accounts in most of the photo storage sites already.

How can I share my photos with my frens?

Day 18

More shopping including a bag to store my extra stuff.

Arrived at airport 3.5 hours ahead of plane takeover but need to queue for tax refund which took me more than 1 hour arrghhh. Plane was packed as alot of people were on standby and had to squeeze into this one. Plane was slightly delayed, about 15 minutes or so. Guess for most people, it is better late than never.

I understand the airline even offered 500 pounds to anyone who is willing to leave later. Sat next to some Scottish guys from Glasgow, the one sitting next to me was a very funny and sweet guy. Trip to Thailand was his birthday gift to his father. Kind of regretful that I never get his contact so we can continue to keep in touch, actually we talked for so many hours but yet we do not know each other's name.

When I got to Bangkok airport, I use my miles to redeem the use of business lounge so I can sit and shower and eat since I have a 3 hours layover. Plane back to Singapore surprising stated as departing 10 minutes earlier but yet delayed also. Ended up back in Singapore close to midnight, about an hour late.

Day 17

Came out from surf shack abt 530am, already saw people on the street, some more greet me gd morning, nice leh.

Bus from Newquay arrived ahead of time some more. Weather here damn mild. Everyone wore like freezing weather and I still didn' zip my jacket because I was sweating inside

Busy in London just running around shopping for people's stuff.

Stayed in a room with 2 aussie room mates, stuck in London because their plane to Edinburgh was cancelled at Heathrow, hopefully tomorrow is a good day and I will be able to go home.

Day 16

Alamak, just say sunny here and it snowed last night and this morning but still can walk around. Didn't buy anything because I have a long shopping list in London, better control.

It is kinda fun when you see young kids building snowman and throwing snow balls. Yesterday I saw some teenager rolling a big ball for a snowman and when he saw me taking his photo, he still stopped and posed haha.

Had dinner at a pub which got 2 out of my 3 orders wrong tsk tsk tsk and a man walked by saying something to me which I didn't catch at all. Luckily he didn't stop but walk right by.

Day 15

Heavy snow today resulted in many train delays. Even football matches were postponed due to frozen pitches.

By now my shoulders were hurting so much from carrying all my heavy stuff that I need a massage badly

Delay for the train was abt 15mins and thus I missed the train connection to Cornwall but the Train Manager walked through the train and told us they will make alternative plan, which they did. We went further for 2 more stops and then alight at Truro. 3 of us heading to Newquay were put in a cab and driven to Newquay. Yippee free of charge and warm to boot. Very nice of the train company.

Newquay is so sunny, no snow but very very strong winds because it is next to the sea. Very small town, will check out other beaches further north tomorrow.

I am staying in this surf shack which is nice. Very clean and I have the whole room to myself and it is ensuite. But it is not a hostel so no kitchen, no lounge but then again I have my own tv and cd player in the room haha. Wonderful.

Though you are not allowed to eat in the room, I actually went out to buy some Chinese takeout and even ate it on the bed while watching tv...hehe
