went to the the uk, and paris :D went mainly to london, but then also went for a bit of a road trip up to nottingham, and sheffield, for a couple of nights at each place. and then was in paris for four nights/three full days.
our road trip around england was really really good! it started snowing in nottingham and by the time we reached sheffield, it was REALLY snowy, about 30cm or so :D
this is nottingham, the morning after. the snow started falling the night before :)
aannd this is sheffield, which was under a good 30cm atleast of snow.
anyways, the snow was good fun, managed to make a snowman :D
anyways, apart from the snow, london was pretty fun as well :D didn't do THAT much sightseeing because i've done most of it on earlier trips :P meeting up with all the family was good fun :D seriously the number of ppl who share my last name on my fb account has gone up a LOT! hahaha. good thing everyone has fb and stuff now, easy to keep in contact xD
annnd then paris was great as expected :P really really good. and the best thing was that the eurostar on the way there didn't break down in the tunnel :P in the week before, the train stopped in the tunnel on two separate trips, cos the snow was causing a malfunction somewhere. but luckily for us, it turned out okay and we got through without any hassle. the north of france was kinda snowy as well, but then considering the WHOLE of the great britain was under a sheet of snow the week before, it would make sense.
anyhow, the weather in paris was really nice, so managed to get alot of sightseeing again. wont upload any pics of anything, cos i was EXTREMELY snap happy in paris, so cbb sorting through all the pics to find the best ones to upload. anyways, over the three four days we were there, we did this: sacré cœur (on the night we came, nice view over the whole of paris during twilight, all the lights and stuff :p), musée du Louvre, champs elysees & arc de triomphe, eiffel tower, musée d'orsay, sacré cœur (again, but this was during the MORNING =D), and then notre dame! so yeah, got lots done :D my fav was definitely the musée du louvre, was really nice architecture, and also the painting and stuff were amazing as well. annnnd i got have a photo with the mona lisa :P haha.
in other news, i got into DENTISTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yay me. im kinda still shocked as to how i managed to pull this one off and get admission :P there were about 200-300ish non-standard applicants this year(or so i was told..), and they only offered ten seats for non-standard applicants, and somehow i managed to get an offer for one of those seats :P so i guess whoever is 'up there' must have done some fine orchestration to get me in :P either that or its just written. lol.
okay i think ill stop rambling on now, hoepfully will be able to get back into the posting habit :D
-peace out xD
