| I am back from Europe everyone! Twelve days without thinking about you
lil faggots ... haha i'm kidding but i did have lots of fun and met so
many cool people, its so crazy.
Just one day after leaving Europe, i'm already missing you guys...Judy,
Sandy, Wendy, Finni, Em, Justin, Sabrina, Jen, and of course Godzilla.
Hope you guys enjoy the rest of summer and to those who are going off
to college, good luck to you guys too!
So ... Europe is sure a crazy place ... full of unexpected twists
HELLO NO SLEEPING **SNOOOOOREZ*
First stop on Ritz tours was London ... London Bridge is one hell of a
boring bridge... it looks just as great as a bridge made out of wood.
The famous London Bridge really does look like it is going to fall down
at anytime, and it was remade 3-4 times in the past. The original
London Bridge is in Arizona (wtf). What's even more demeaning to the
bridge is that next to it, there is a bridge named Tower Bridge. Now
this bridge is what i call awesome. It's huge and there's some kinda
monument on top of the bridge... a must see if you go to London
The redcoat soldiers are actually pretty freaky. Buckingham Palace
guards' eyes are always wandering around because they don't move their
body, they are always spazzing like crazy with their eyes. They're
screaming "AHHHH" with their eyes and when I took a picture with them,
you could see his eyes still moving around .... weird shit. The Great
British Museum is huge and i can't believe its free. This museum owns
nearly every single one in America and is only comparable to the
Washington DC museum ... one that I have never seen before. Actually,
I've never gone to Washington DC.
Overall London's a nice friendly place with funny accents. The subway
system is crazy... there are like 16 different lines and 5 different
zones and if you don't understand the system then you will be lost...
(i know this because my dad and i got lost for around half an hour in
the underground.) I didn't have any "London Food" ... cause i seriously
don't know if there is anything called that. What kinda food is London
famous for anyways?
I met a cool kid named Elizabeth Cheng (i think) ... she was my company
for the first seven days until i started talking to everyone else. The
tour meals also included one very very gross chinese resturant.
---------------------------------
Paris. (Stop 2)
We took the bullet train from London to Paris ... it's around a three
hour ride. The train was actually really smooth and there was a food
compartment and everything...but the food sucked. It was so fucking dry
that I needed to drink so much water that I probably spent more time in
the bathroom than in my seat. Anyways... when we got to France, there
were so many ppl crowded at the entrance to the station ... they were
all pickpockets and we had to wait like ten minutes because people got
lost in the doorway. I didn't!
Highlights of Paris....
Eiffel Tower was pretty amazing...but we didn't get to go up to the top
floor. The architecture was really astounding that it was made over a
hundred years ago...the structure is still more sophisticated than even
many of the buildings you see today. We took an elevator up and then
took the stair down ... which was about 1700 stairs. But i cheated and
only did around 600. ahahaha suckers...
Versailles (however you spell it, feel free to correct me), is a hugee
... HUGE palace. Well Louis the 14th - 16th did stay here after all,
and they were among themost well known French Kings. Inside the palace,
the King and Queen slept in different wings of the building. That must
suck... seriously... they love each other and all but can't spend the
night together? Between the two halls was a chamber dubbed the Hall of
Mirrors. Here, various quantities of mirrors placed at bizzare angles
created shiny reflections of the light through the many windows. The
chandeliers were also made out of the glass, which created an even more
sparkling image.
The Gardens of Versailles is what is truly magnificent of this palace.
It's huge. I mean it, it's huge. It's huge enough to be one of the
seven modern wonders of the world (according to our tour guide). It
stretches endlessly and is laced with ponds and fountains.
Many naked statues but that's beside the point. This is defintiely the
must see in Paris.
There is also this huge mall... possibly one of the biggest and most
famous in all of the world. Lafayette Mall is what i think it's
called... it takes up two entire giant buildings and it is said that no
one can finish shopping through it in one day. I don't doubt that at
all. I got lost in the mall and it was pretty scary ... since i was
walking through all these girl lingerie sections and the clerks were
looking at me funny.
Once again, we had more Chinese Food...it sucked and everyone was a
little pissed at the food. But the French bread that i bought was
pretty tasty.
-----
Switzerland (Stop 3)
This stop wasn't so great due to the weather. The highlight of this
place was supposed to be Mount Titlis, but the weather was so rainy and
foggy that at 10000m, you couldn't see squat. The only cool part about
this mountain was that the hot chocolate was really tasty and seeing
the glacier cave. The glaciers were so cold that it was painful to even
put the palm of your hand flat onto the glacier for ten seconds. I did
it, but i was sucking up all of the pain and by the end of those ten
seconds... my hand was shaking like crazy...
Switzerland housed Rollex and Omega shops. The watches are still
expensive, but at least 100-200 dollars cheaper than the ones found in
America. some watches are seriously dumb. There was a regular watch
with a thin strap, but the face was huge... and it looked so lopsided
on your hand. I didn't buy a watch for myself cuz i really find it
annoying to wear anything on my arms
The traditional meal of Switzerland is the Fondues. I'm sure you could
find some in America, but there is nothing like the foundues in
switzerland. Fast cooked with oil and a wide selection of meat, made it
the best meal I had eaten up to that date ( and it would prove to be
the best on my twelve day tour). Ostritch meat is amazing ... if you
eat it without knowing that it's ostrich, you could never guess it out.
It tasted a lot like beef but with a little tint of mintish flavor. SO
GOOD!
We had some Chinese food too ... ugh. Not going into details on that...
I got to use the internet for two hours here... as some of you know i
talked to you :) I was seriously missing everyone by then becuz my
first friend had left in Paris (seven day tour) and i didn't talk to
anyone else... I thought the last four days was gonna suck ass ... but
it was definitely the best four days i've had in a long time ...
comparable to NECYSC!
------
Italy (Last stop)
Sightseeing. Way too many churches. Every single city we went into,
there was a church my dad dragged me to see. They creep me out ... they
all humongous graveyards and memorials... not cool.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa was really cool ... climbing it was really
fun cuz you would really lean to one side of hte tower and sometimes
bump into the wall. I would laugh crazily everytime this happened...
ahahah i'm weird
I didn't really pay attention to much of the sightseeing here because
the ten kids on the bus got together and started hanging out for the
last four days. All I remember is talking most of the time... even when
we were walking around.
Our tour guide's name was Robin Kuo (I won that bet!). He wore tight
pants and had some very annoying habits but he was a chilll guys and
pretty entertaining.
On the last day of Italy, we had a lil allnighter in the hotel. Only
three people managed tostay up ... Judy, Wendy and I.... but oh man
that was some funny stuff ... and how seriously wasted we looked.... oh
man. The next day I died on the plane ...slept for the entire nine
hours it took to get home. Home sweet home....
You know PCD? ... well I got PTD (Post Trip Depression)! We've gotta
get a reunion someday ... but until then peace :) Italy pictures are up
on facebook guys.

| Memories stay to last
A quick flashback to the past
A poem is how I get my thoughts out;
There's no other way I can think of to pout
The problem at hand: What to do about I?
Should I keep living in this world of lies?
I know I should hang oon but it's pretty hard
I remember the good times we've had on the green yard
I know I promised I'd be okay, but
At the moment, my mind's in a nut
12:45 AM, that's where it end and confusion began
I hope you can give me time to rebuild again
I know this poem I write isn't the way to say
I don't even know if you're gonna read this today.
But what my heart feels, I'm so lost
You should make a decision and not worry about the cost.
I can't change what desires is made by the heart
I know I can hold on and grasp eventually, I'll get smart.
This remorse, regret and pain will cease.
I hope you guys will be pleased
I'll always try to stay sweet and nice
Althought to me, sometimes it's like fire and ice
I end this poem with a few of my thoughts.
I couldn't have better friends, asked or bought.
I want you to know, I shouldn't be the thing
That makes you decide on your love fling
If I can't stay sane, I don't deserve to be
Having such a great friendship between you and me.
I know I'm a little uneasy about this
but it's not with you guys, nothing to miss
A war with my traits andmind I must win
Then I'm sure this confusion will go "fin"
-------------------------------------------------------
Like a hazy mist, so unclear
Obscure and hidden, fills us with fear
Very powerful sensation and a feeling of joy
Every girl you see hand in hand with a boy
Installs an emotion like no other before, ever
Something brand new that heats you up like a high fever
Pleasing, happiness surrounds those in heaven
Over any obstacle they can come between
With eachother, nothing can stand in their way
Every tender kiss sends a static pulse that lasts more than a day
Rifts are overcome and boundaries are shattered
Flying side by side in the sky, flattered
Unison is more powerful than anyone's solo flight in the yellow
Love is a soft yet unpredictable rock of feather.
