Today is a special day to everyone in that region because it is the longest day of the year.. It has a total of 23hours of daylight which the sun set at 1.30am and rise again at 2.30am.. Is that cool or what.. =)
They gave us jams in this small bottles.. really cute.. took some back to Singapore.. =P
After breakfast.. we attended a talk on a new product which is said to be the best product for the next 5 years or so to come as this will probably make you look younger by 10 years old and keep your looks there.. how reliable? It will be released in SEA around next year or so..
After lunch we went for our Land Tour which for today is St Peterburgs of Russia!
I start to dislike tour buses because you cannot stop to see the surrounding and everything pass by so fast.. I am already prefering the backpacking style which i lived through in Copenhagen.. Do whatever i want time.. =)
I wonder what i should do if i wan those at the bottom..
First stop was a souvenir shop which are priced ridiculously.. Another bad point of tour buses.. Further more.. shopping in Europe which is one of the most expensive places i believe.. is really difficult to buy gifts that are within my budgets.. $_$
A beautiful chess set..
Buildings just zoom pass us when we are in the tourbus.. hence its difficult to get a nice shot..
One thing i love about Europe is the sky is always so clear and blue.. the weather there is great tooo..
Next we visited a palace which belong to Peter the Great or something liddat..
Really a huge and resplendent palace.. It have arts all over the places and is royally decorated..
See the grasspatch behind me? i can safely assume that it can fit 6 soccer fields.. and there is another grass patch in front of me.. O_O!!!
We had to wear "plastic bag" over our shoes which prevent us from dirtying the floor i guess?
Everyone look stupid with that plastic bag on.. =.="
Royal tables where only the royal dine in.. Duh.
Most of the rooms are richly decorated with shining gold furnitures..
The ceiling was painted with arts too.. Can you imagine the poor artist having to look up constantly to paint?
Museum tend to bore me out so i end up taking pictures..
with a mirror which is awesomely decorated..
I could almost be blinded by the golden shine...
This rooms have paintings as its wallpaper.. something which i intend to do to my room one day..
A picture of how the whole palace looks like..
Another beautiful painting of one part of the palace..
Me and a beautiful pond behind me.. Europe is a lovely place..
The trees are so neatly planted and trimmed and so symmetrical..
well-formed flowers of all colourss..
If i remember correctly.. that is a bath house..
The floor look nice; The pond look nice; The greens look nice; The house look nice;The sky look nice; I look nice too.. =P
The palace is such a beauty..
ICE CREAM! I love to eat ice cream in cold weather.. It stays frozen longer..
After the palace visit, we had a gathering somewhere.. as we pass by grass patches.. there are many europeans sunbathing and they seems to be enjoying themselves..
It look so heart-warming.. girlfriends boyfriends wife husband friends strangers neighbours all on a grasspatch and lying there doing nothing.. its so sad without my girlfriend.. shall bring here there next time to lie down and just enjoy the nature beauty..
We enjoyed Russia dance and musics which is really elegant..
and they are really professionals in their dance.. whats Singapore dance?
Rich people.. That man and woman are husband and wife and each have around USD10,000,000 in asset.. Sighss.. i want good life tooo..
And we head back to our cruise with statues and buildings zooming pass us again..
Back at the cruise.. there was a welcome ceremony which all the staffs gathered outside to dance and lead us back on board..
I believe he is the captain on my left and on my right is a really funny and very professional MC of all the night entertainment and shows..
Dinner was served but they look very long to serve us so we complained quite a lot.. but we later on realised that they have a practice to serve the same course together.. and we were re ordering more servings of the appetizers so the main dish didnt came.. =.=
Snail baked in Garlic Sauce - Taste not bad but not exactly to my liking..
Watermelon with Mint and Lime - Healthy start and taste awesome.. i ate 4 of that..
Salmon - This is my main course but seriously.. which part of the stomach can this fill? In the end i ordered another portion of it so that at least i feel like i ate something..
Spagetti Bolognese.. the best spagetti i tasted.. it have all the spices just right and it aint too wet or dry and it just taste splendid!
After dinner.. we watched a very old flim of James Bond which is a 1950 black and white movie.. then went back to watch another movie called Chaos Theory before dozing off to sleep..
