walk from town back to hostel
UPDATED: I also now know that Europeans think Americans are a bunch of idiots. I dunno why but most of those Europeans I meet and talk to have this bias against Americans. Some think it's the American English (the slangs and stuff and some stupid words only the Americans understand), some curse Bush, some just plain hate them. HAHA. I hope this SEP trip does them some good. I will be a good guy when i return home and not be (so) racist. And now when i see a person who's looking lost, I will ask if they need help. All the nice people in Finland are simply too good to believe.
Yesterday went to the town centre to see what was happening. Though this is not the first time I've been there, it's the first that I 've been with the whole bunch. It was like International Day, cos there was the 'Whole World' in my little group.
Checked out a few pubs and discos. There're differences between them, and I sorta knew but now I know for sure haha. Pubs are just for drinking and chilling out (maybe playing games too, was playing for a little while at one drinking hole), and discos are for dancing.
Went to Amarillo Restaurant where there was a pub upstairs and a disco downstairs. Haha i tell you, by Finnish (and therefore European) standards, parties and discos in Singapore are nothing. The people really can groove to the music man. I have to learn their slick moves oh yeah oh yeah (especially from Tom). But one thing I din really like was that there were older people in our midst and they were kissing like ALL the time on the dance floor while dancing like 2 dodos. What for pay 1.50 euros to kiss in public, might as well do it at home HAHA.
After the whole thing, it was around 4am and Suzie the crazy German said lets walk back to our hostel! It's ONLY 6km back to our hostel so we said hell why not. That was one of the stupidest decisions of my life, probably beating even my 'Walk of my life' cos of the distance. I thought with the passing of my ORD I wouldn't need to trek for such a long distance with 2 legs on autopilot. I can't start to describe how wobbly my legs were, not with dancing like 2, 3 hours almost non stop. After getting back to the hostel, my legs almost gave way (but didn't luckily) and I reached the hostel at about 6am.
Woke up at 2.30pm. Had one hour of daylight before the stupid sky darkened again. Well, welcome to Finland. Really. Where's my aurora borealis? WHERE!
P.S. I still can't get my card reader to work. DAMN.
