sobbing again

so the time has come for the tour to conclude. i hate goodbyes and im terrible at it... almost everyone has left this morning for home or further traveling, and i am still in berlin for the next 2 days. feels horrible to be alone in this big city again without my friends and people to hang around with and it seems like nothing is familiar anymore.

anyways, onto something more positive. this trip has been amazing...i met so many great people and saw some great sights...and best of all, He is still continuing to teach me throughout the trip through my circumstances...i have been challenged to think and act differently.

i'm so glad that i had chosen contiki instead of trafalgar for the eastern europe tour. no i didnt turn into a party animal...it was just great being about to tour around some of the most mesmerizing countries with a bunch of people. 'eastern road' is the name of this tour, and i am truly fascinated with the history of the six countries that i had visited.

ok, that was the post from yesterday. i am now back in the hostel trying to do some research for Munich tmr. the train ride would take around 6 hours!!

i spent most of my time today at 2 places. the first place is KaDeWe, Berlin's best department store. however, i did not shop around for clothes, instead i went to the gourmet food/supermarket level and tried to figure out what is in the nice packagings covered with german words. the chocolate section there would make a chocoholics dream come true. they have all the brands you can imagine and more. i bought some mozart chocolates for jen and got some kinder hippo chocolate for myself. the second place i visited was Saturn, which is a bit like Harvey Norman with all the electronic products. i bought an adaptor as i had lost them whilst on contiki, and then spent hours at the CD/DVD section. i was craving for some music. not chopin or beethoven type music, but music with lyrics that i can sing to. i listened to lifehouse on repeat (it sucks that they only let u listen to sections of a song) and contemplated about whether to buy the album or not.

ok...i should try and find something to do. i didnt come all the way to europe to be sitting in front of the computer at 3:20pm. :)
