Going for the student exchange programme was probably one of the best things I have ever made myself done, haha. I mean, I used to hate travelling, so this was quite a push for me. :P

OMG Ning! *Glomps* I literally squealed when I saw that you were back. :)
Oooh, postcards (maybe not the guys in swimsuits though...) and OMG, you've never seen a cow? Okay, there's not a heck of a lot of them where I live, but I've been to a petting zoo at least... It truly is different where you live. All good campuses are a little crazy now and then, we had a dude dressed up as pacman chasing ghosts down the street at mine this spring. ;) Llamas are a little creepy up close, don't you think?
That is a pretty cafe. And a pretty horse. (Looks like it has a sweet temprament too - I only know enough about horses to make a decent guess as to whether or not they're likely to try and kick me, though.)
And Ning cooks pretty food. I'm so glad you got to experience snow, even if at first I read "Zero degrees? Wow!" and then I realized that you were using Celsius. I am such an American, Lol. Especially because 0 degrees celsius where I live, students are still running in the mornings without a coat, just gloves or a scarf on with their sweatshirts.
If you're ever in the cold again, find some pebbles and heat them up in the toaster oven or on top of the radiator (microwaving sadly doesn't work.) Wrap them in old socks and they're as good as a hot water bottle. ;)
SCRIBBLES! :D It feels so good to be talking to you again! (I am still experimenting with sugarless chocolate cakes/brownies, lol! No success yet, unfortunately. :P)
No fair, the petting zoos in Singapore only had small animals like rabbits and hamsters the last time I went! (LOL pacman!) Eh, goats are creepier: their irises are really scary to look at!
The interior of the cafe is really awesome, by the way. I just didn't want to spam you guys, hehe. Yea, that horse was pretty sweet. Mine stopped to eat every now and then and would resist my pull on the reins. o_o
Pretty =/= tasty, as my flatmates can testify. XD (I don't add salt when I cook, heh.) Hahaha, oh, but even at what others consider to be mildly cold (~11degree celcius) I was still wrapped up in at least 3 layers! :P
Well, I'm smack in the middle of the midwest, so what's available for petting is the livestock... and rabbits and stuff, but quite a lot of goats, sheep, calves and the like. Last time I saw a goat (same petting zoo) it tried to eat my shorts. They really are rather creepy.
You've gotta nudge them in the stomach too. Still, better a nice lazy horse than one that wants you off it's back now. :)
Haha, I'm a crazy northerner. (11 Celsius? that's about... forty something Fahrenheit, I can run down campus in capri pants and a jean jacket, and us great white northerners have shorts on when it hits fifty Fahrenheit. It's 102 F (Almost 40 C?) here, and I am dying, just slowly turning into a little scribbles-flavored puddle. Which is probably neither pretty nor tasty. :)
Haha, well, that's what the salt shaker on the table is for!
Hahahaha!! Your shorts must have brushed against a plant it liked or something! XD
Haha, I know right? The kiwis were running around in mini dresses/tank top and shorts in that temperature too. *envious* But omg 40C?!! Even we (just a little above the equator) don't get 40C! That's the point where people start dying from heatstroke right? (sounds dangerous! :O) Please take care of yourself, Scribbles! Go hard core on water! :D
Yeah, it's nasty up here. Record-breaking heat, and it's stalled over all of North America. It's actually warmer in the Northern half of the country than in the southern half of the country right now. Heat wave's supposed to break tomorrow, thank god. I had a hard enough time driving home today, I can't handle it being this hot all weekend. (Yeah, we can't let the dog out for more than 10 min, or he'll get heatstroke - and he's not the furriest beast out there.)
What can I say? Goats find me delicious. ;) They'll eat practically anything, though...
