Day 2&3 : Singapore - Frankfrut - Plzen(CzechRepublic)






























































































































































Left for the airport on Wednesday night. Our flight was supposed to be around midnight but because of some engine problems and after sitting in the plane for almost 2hours, we had to change aircraft. Oh and before that me,sis and ray had some weird feeling about the plane; like its gonna crash or something (we watched final destination2 not long ago and the setting of our airport gate looked like the one we saw in the movie. scary huh haha)
..
SQ had really good services.They managed to find us another aircraft really shortly and compensated us with loads of food. So, we were quite full before even boarding the plane.
Boarded the plane at 3am and flew for 12hours. It seemed forever. really. Managed to watch some movies on the plane tho.

Reached Frankfurt (Germany) around 10am. Had a 5hour long bus ride to Plzen. Reached there, had our really late lunch around 4pm and its 7hours ahead in S'pore. It was goooood. Headed back to Marriot hotel and rested a little while and headed back to the same restaurant for dinner.Walked around the hotel and out into the cold on the streets with my cousins.

Day3
Breakfast in the morning was always awesome. We had american breakfast every morning till i think i'm sick of it now.hahah .Had city tour around Plzen.Went to St Bartholomew Cathedral & The Plzen Great Synagogue(3rd largest in the world and 2nd in Europe). A really grey place but there was a Christmas market nearby so we headed there instead. I loved the Christmas markets. The atmosphere there was awesome.There were loads of dogs everywhere (do you know Europe's a really dog-friendly place? dogs are able to stay in hotels, enter the mall, trams, buses, airports. everywhere i should say) haha. Saw horse carriages,sheeps,goats, horses, donkeys anything and everything you can think of.

Took a 2 hour bus ride to the capital of Czech. PRAGUEEEEEEEEEEEE. ( oh its one of my fav places out of the whole trip) Chinese food for lunch .boring. Given time to explore the new and old town in Prague. They sold like loads of stuffs there but it was sure expensive..
Walked to and fro of old town and we bought really huge sausages for teabreak. It was mad good seriously.My mum bought this really nice tasting bread too. One of the nicest bread i've tasted.
Went to the fruit market, and the sky's dark by 430pm. The whole street was decorated with really beautiful christmas lights. It felt so surreal. ( Sis and i had been thinking how much the government spent on x'mas lights there since S'pore's govt spent millions on the x'mas lights just in this tiny little red dot)

Went back to DUO hotel to stay for the night.

Let me tell you about my chubbyfattypup, okay my dad.
He embarrassed us asians there like manymany times.hahah.really funny!! He snorted at a hot-dog seller  because they spoke czech language there and he assumed that they couldn't understand english and so,he pointed at the sausage and snorted a pig snort to indicate to him if it was a pork sausage.gahhhhhhh. it was really funny. but it turned out that the guy knew how to speak english. embarrassing!!

okay, i'll blog the rest next time. I'm Europe sick now. I want to stay at that fairytale place forever.I don't want to face reality :(
