happy new year to all!=)
spent the last day in berlin by going up to the reichstag and enjoying a paranomic view from the top of the dome. wen to checkpoint charlie in the evening after a meal(and only meal of the day) of biscuits haha. checkpoint charlie is a poignant reminder of the divide between east and west germany. many people have either successfully or failed to escape from east to west germany.
made our way to amsterdam via a horrid 10hr bus ride. when we reached some undesirable events happened but let's put it down to a narrow perception of the world around those people. nothing much to visit in amsterdam and the museums weren't that spectacular either in terms of exterior outlook. visited the red light district and it was buzzing with curious onlookers. it's opened in the morning too! a place that doesn't rest. the main highlight was visiting ajax amsterdam stadium!!! learnt pretty much about the stadium and visited places like the press room, conference room, museum and walked right next to the pitch. knew about the colours of the stadium seats and its plans for changing them to white/black and white/red in 2 years time. white/black is the colour of amsterdam and white/red is the ajax colour. oh ya we ate KFC in amsterdam!!! been 5 months since i sunk my teeth into that juicy tender chicken hahaa.
slept at airport on the 2nd night. tough man. but reaching manchester was good. it feels like singapore=) the manchester united tour was amazing too! tomorrow is the big game haha. so exciting. went to the players dressing room, lounge, conference room, stands. got to know some funny stories about the players and know where the players sit in the dressing room and what were their routines before a game like. awesome! =)
time to take a rest while alan and meng are out in town haha. till london!
