12th May

and so starts our journey to switzerland.

to go to bern, we have to change trains in milan. we paid for the reservations, and there were only a few minutes available for us to change the train. to our horror, the first train was late, and when we got off the train, the crowds of people were fucking STROLLING their way down the station, blocking our way. by the time we reached the track, the train happily rolled away right in front of our eyes.

fucking italy. seriously if not for their food, i think i might hate italy.

so we had to like wait an hour or two for the next train. which brought us to arth-goldau, which we had to change another time to go to lucerne, and from lucerne, we changed AGAIN to get to bern. lots of train changing. not good with luggages.

if you guys are ever go backpacking ever do not ever carry a luggage and pack really light. you don't really want to lug a huge bag around too. most places have somewhere for you to wash and dry the clothes, and i guess you can share the luggage load with someone or something. two pairs of jeans and like 5 tshirts or something and the corresponding number of underwear should be enough. :) 

first day in switzerland, we arrived pretty late, so it was just walking around in the area nearby and having the most expensive dinner ever. rosti and cheese fondue! i have no idea when i'll ever put the photos up (when carmen choy loads it). the food here's fucking expensive. twenty over francs for a cheese fondue. :(

and then it was shopping! bought another top in h&m. the sizes here are different from germany though. so i guess if you shop in europe you gotta try your clothes or something.

and it's back to the hostel to sleep.

bought a new swiss arm!
