poor little kitty ;___; ....and hi, i'm back
oh my, i was going to tell all about my inter rail trip, about the countries i've been to and especially about the plastic tree concert, but my kitty has a belly ache and i can't think about anything else besides that <.<' she tried to bite me (tenderly though) when i patted her tummy ;____; she doesn't bite, no, that's not like her at all. then she tried to come near me and purred and obviously wanted me to pat her and i did, but as soon as my hand was near to her tummy she tried to bite me again V___V''' i hope it's just something that will pass soon...
ok, i'll try to concentrate to the things i was supposed to write here in the first place.inter rail trip. whoah. so much happened during those weeks. first we went through finland to turku and took a ferry to sweden, stockholm. from there we went to denmark, but didn't really stay there either, 'cause we wanted to get to berlin. and we finally did, after traveling for two days ^^'' my friend anna was there waiting for us at the station. it felt so good to see her~ and well... we did lots of things while in berlin, but mostly just anna stuff... you know where she grew up and her old school and her favorite places. it was a really nice way to get to know a part of that gigantic city.
after saying goodbyes to anna we went to czech, prague. i love that city so much. i've actually been there once before but i want to make a third visit there someday, though if possible, i want it to be during the winter... maybe there are less tourists and more locals around at that time. if i should mention one thing that happened to us i guess it'd be this: it was the day we had planned on leaving the city and we had very little money, local money that is. we wanted to watch the football game at a restaurant (well, it was more like a bar...) and asked if we could only order drinks 'cause we didn't have money for food. and a danish man from the table next to ours must have heard that 'cause right after the waiter had left he placed 200 CZK (about 5 euro) on our table and said "girls, get something to eat". i know 5€ isn't that much, but in czech you can get a good meal with just that. the man was with another man and two women, so i don't think he was trying anything or make an impression to us maybe to the people in his own table but not us. and when they were leaving the same man placed 500 CZK on our table. we said that thank you but no thanks, we are happy with the 200 CZK and that we appreciate it very much, but he insisted us to take it. so we had lots to eat. i ate pancakes and 2 big beers. i love pancakes so much~ so, i'm grateful to that man, he must have felt like a prince in a shining armor helping to poor girls xD
well.. after that we went to vienna, austria. irja has a aunt there. (the aunt has a husband, kurt. this is no joke, he seriously wears leder hosen every day xDDD.) we stayed for 5 nights (which is a way too long time to stay over at someone's home). we had a lot of time to see all sorts of sights and everything but the best thing was the old ferris wheel and candyfloss. we went to the ferris wheel when it was already dark and the lights of vienna were so beautiful. i hope i'll never forget that...actually i know i wont. from there we went to innsbruck. nothing good to say about that place this time so we move on to switzerland, bern. we spent there only a day, but got to see most of the old town and sat on the river bank. it's strange how the capital of switzerland can feel like a little town. i really liked bern and i think i'll go there again one day. it's VERY beautiful.
then we headed our way to paris. i was already hyped about the plastic tree concert and couldn't really think about anything else. eiffel tower was, surprise surprise, amazing. though all the waiting and standing in lines was killing me .___:
....
cgöugfö cffcef7fe2 86fr8d6pxcxd2p683decxvp. this isn't working. i have to fangirl about plastic tree, 'cause that's what was the most important thing in paris for me. not the sights. i wanted to go to the concert place early in the morning, but irja, who wasn't coming to the concert but had promised to find the place with me wasn't that keen on the idea. so we found our way to the place located next to the famous moulin rouge... but just before that, when i had gotten up from the subway tunnel i saw something...that looked very much like tadashi...then two french girls took a picture of him and then it hit me. IT REALLY IS TADASHI!!! @__@ i was trembling all over and trying to hold myself together i went to him and asked if i could take a picture with him and he said sure and then... i did this idiotic pose and stood next to him Ö.Ö i really did *faints* but the crappy thing is that my celly had the lowest quality on so the picture is tiny ;___; BUT i doesn't matter 'cause i shook hands with him and told him i was honored to meet him and thanked him for coming to europe and thanked him for the picture and i was in panic and can't really remember what he answered to me .___: but gaaah!!! tadashiiii~ i was so shocked about it all that i didn't know how to say anything about it... i was able talk about it for the first time about 3 days after the gig. it meant so much to me. you have no idea... *tryes to calm down* okay...i'll carry on: as we got to the concert place about 12am there were only about 20 people before me in the line. irja had to leave at some point, but actually i didn't mind 'cause i had met lovely people~
pjusk_ from norway,
furan_chan from uk,
chuu_x3 and her fried from france. later two other girls from uk joined us
takuropop and her friend and also these two sweet, but not so talkative girls from france. so i wasn't alone at all, yay! the concert itself, there are no words to describe it or the feelings i had. it was purely magical. something that i could never imagined i'd see and hear live, not even when i was holding the ticket, not even then. but as they came to the stage i was about to die from happiness @____@ special thanks to
pjusk_ for letting me hang onto her like on overweight koala bear. and her fan saved me. thank you! and i'm terrible sorry for being so sweaty x.X melancholic was mind blowing~
that's pretty much all i can recall from paris xD
from paris we went to barcelona. we were dead tired at the time we got there and went with the first lady who said she could take us to a hostel. this so-called hostel was terrible. it was covered in mold and dirt and creepy crawlies and random men. our room had no windows and no good lights, you could hardly turn around there 'cause it was so small and it was so hot that we almost died. when we got there in the evening after going through some sights and sitting in the sea shore we noticed the people working there were having a party. oh how nice >____> we were dead tired after traveling in a night train and now they were having a party. you can only imagine how thrilled we were... after the hellish night we changed the hostel and everything was better ^____^ we were able to enjoy the city without thinking about the disgusting place we'd have to sleep in. sagrada familia was crazy. by all means. and that's that about barcelona. hot.
our next stop was brussels. irja has some relatives there too. it was nice to stay over at a clean and well air conditioned place. i ate too much and bought cds and dvds *grin* and also a real top hat! i've always wanted one and now i have it. it's made before the second world war and it's very pretty n_______________n the down side was that i had to carry it for the rest of our trip, but it was worth it. from there we left towards home. we had some troubles with the trains in germany and thus weren't able to get onto our ferry to finland. we had to do all kinds af arrangements and sleep outside the malmö railway station for one night. it's not like we hadn't slept in trains and in stations, but we had to sleep outside. outside. it was cold and we had no sleeping bags and there was no toilet anywhere and argh. it was quite unpleasant.
in the next morning we went to stockholm. music museum was great. we were playing with al the instruments and tried all the machines and listened to all the tapes available and acted like retards xD then we had to sleep on the floor in the ferry. but then it was HOME SWEET HOME!!!! well, not exactly, we had still about 8 hours traveling ahead, but just being in finland felt so good.
after getting back home i've seen my friends, well not all of them yet, but as many as possible. it has been fun. lots of it.
and see what i got from
siprim and
_pavla_
i've never gotten anything like this after coming home from a trip ;___; thank you. (siprim's about my studies...i didn't get to the school i wanted to go and i was a bit down because of it AND she baked muffins too! they're both so sweet~)
and yeah. no lj-cut. shoot me. <
