<span style="color: #0b5394;">One of her life goals is to visit every single Disneyland there is in the world. So working up in the order of cost, I decided to plan a birthday trip to Hong Kong, where there is the nearest Disneyland to us is located! Needless to say she was elated! On a side note, this post is mostly about Hong Kong Disneyland so check out our upcoming post which wraps up the Hong Kong lovescapade!</span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666;">In Toy Story Land, as expected the rides conform to the theme too! Whilst some reviews may put Disneyland down as a place without thrilling rides, I feel that some of the rides are more than enough to give me a racing heartbeat! For example, the Paradrop (can't remember the exact name) you see above is basically a vertical drop which is slightly slower than the other vertical drop rides I've taken before, but still thrilling!</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;">And finally, the highlight of the night after dinner was the fireworks! Re entry was done via a chop on our hand just like a club. The only gripe I had was that we went too late, and all the good seats were taken up so we had to sit on the floor. Everyone was just sitting on the floor like schoolchildren so we followed suit! Nevertheless we still got a pretty decent spot to enjoy the fireworks. Our cameras just don't do them justice!</span><br />

What's more, it's all free of charge! Now that's good service! They actually sent the cake up, sang her a birthday song and took a picture of us. So I would like to say a big thank you to Cosmo Hotel Mongkok for making this possible too! </span></div>

Checking our gmail account suddenly made me feel that this was one way we could document our memories properly, and considering many big plans are coming up, it would be good for us to clear some backlog!</span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">First of all, we will need to travel back in time to July 2013, when we had a breakfast date with my favourite Sesame Street characters! Amazingly, this event is still going on at Resorts World Sentosa! Details can be found <a href="http://www.rwsentosa.com/language/en-US/Homepage/Attractions/UniversalStudiosSingapore/NewYork/SesameStreet" target="_blank">here</a>. Available only on Saturdays, it will set you back $113 per pax to get the special breakfast buffet (Lots of photos) and a full day park entrance! Wouldn't hurt if you are planning to spend a day at USS right?</span><br />

More food!</div>
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Perhaps halfway through your meal you might hear some screaming from the kids. It just signals the entrance of the Sesame Street characters for a photo taking session! The downside is that it's not THAT organized and children tend to get their way, I mean, we do feel bad to insist on our turn. So an option would be to quietly wait for the commotion to die down, or for new characters to come in for the kids to swarm them.. All in all just make sure you take photos! Because that's probably what you came for..</span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">As you can probably tell by now we are great fans of Cookie Monster! Well because I love cookies</span><span style="color: #0b5394;"> and I think he's just awesome! </span><span style="color: #e06666;">In any case we managed to snap a photo with him before he engulfed another kid in a hairy hug. We also teased CM with cookies we got from the breakfast spread and he was like AWWWWW..... Gave us a thumbs up too when he saw our shirts and that we were avid fans! It was great fun!</span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">On a side note now regarding the food, don't expect high standards. Well the presentation is one thing, but because overall if you're in for a gastronomic time, this isn't exactly the best breakfast you'll have. But if you're just in for the fun and experience, go for it!</span></div>

(A year past...)<span style="color: #0b5394;">IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! Or well, it was my 25th birthday, and she was really sweet to bring me to a place where we once had countdown to New Year's Eve before (a long time ago in 2011!) So, first off, location wise its as per the name, just plopped next to Changi Village, so if you don't drive, it could be a bit of a hassle to get there. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;">Before we got to the actual dinner venue we decided to check out some sights. Changi Point Coastal Walk is a stone's throw away from Netheravon road which CVH sits on so we decided to take a walk and some pictures before our dinner! More information on Changi Coastal Boardwalk can be found <a href="http://www.nparks.gov.sg/cms/docs/Changi_Coastal_Walk_e_Guide_Final(LR).pdf" target="_blank">here</a>.</span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">It is a pretty quiet place, or at least when we went on a weekend late afternoon. Fortunately there wasn't much sun, and a bit of a sea breeze to keep us from sweating in Singapore's weather. It's a good place to have a good long chat with your loved one, or just enjoy the pristine surroundings.</span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394;">If there was anything to mark the place down though, it would be the presence of industry (some, not much) in the background, kind of spoils the photos unless you get into the really right angles. Nevertheless we still managed to get some happy shots in, all with the use of timers and tripods and some old school poses!</span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666;">Back at the hotel, we took the lift up to level 8 where the dinner is supposed to be - La Cantina. I chose this place because of the potential view it offered and the ambience, and we weren't disappointed! Except for the bugs at night which I kind of hate, especially when dusk comes! However you can choose between dining Al Fresco, or just sit in the comforts of the air conditioned area.</span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394;">It's our 50th month together! For the past 2 years we've been dropping by to see what has the Singapore Night Festival got to offer. We were pleasantly surprised with the exhibits which were very vibrant in colour, making it easy for even non-artsy people like us to appreciate.</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;">It also allows free entry into the museums like Singapore Arts Museum unlike normal fees of $10. Small wonder such an event attracts sooo many Singaporeans!</span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">Lasting from 7 pm to 2 am, the event stretches from Singapore Arts Museum to National Museum and all the way to Plaza Singapura. The map of the grounds can be found <a href="http://www.brasbasahbugis.sg/nightfestival/files/SNF2013-Map.pdf" target="_blank">here</a>. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">To get to the Singapore Night Festival, public transport options are widely available since it is right smack in the middle of town. For those who would rather drive, parking options are available at SMU Admin building which is open till 12 am, or NTUC Union House which is open till 2 am for Switch customers. Expect the crowds to think so too and parking to be scarce also. So be there early or be prepared to wait!</span><br />

PHUKET!<span style="color: #e06666;">The final holiday trip we had before I started work was to... PHUKET~!! :D</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">Well, I'm not like a huge fan of beach trips because I always get sea sick when I go for snorkelling trips... But other than that, I love to lay on the beach and just rest...</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;">Being a relatively budget friendly trip, we took Jetstar and guess what? I saw my snooker friends from Hall 11! Apparently they were on the same flight to Phuket too, just that they were staying on a different beach. What a coincidence when you can just meet your friends at the airport just like that. </span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;">For our hotel choice, we went for Sugar Palm Grand Hill Resort. While most travellers would prefer the bustling beach of Patong, we wanted to be in the vicinity but with a little bit more peace and quiet. So we chose Sugar Palm Grand for its location in Kata beach! Once again we went through Agoda for the good rates offered. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">As it was our first time in Phuket and we were unfamiliar with the transport system, we asked the hotel to arrange a hotel pick up at a charge of 2000 baht for 2 ways (maximum three pax per car). Once at the hotel, a buggy picked us up upon check in to send us to our rooms!</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;">Sugar Palm Grand is built on a hill as its name suggests. Hence, expect a lot of steep slopes and lots of steps if you are staying in a room like ours. We got the second highest level, pool attached room which was shared among 5 rooms. It was a pretty view, and the room was really awesome as well! </span><span style="color: #e06666;">If you go during non-peak season, you will most likely be the only unit using the pool which is quite good isn it? Good view and pool access room for 2300 baht (~ $92) per night, think its very worth it!</span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">Being a touristy place, never worry about food! Just take a walk along the streets you'll find something! Don't expect too much Thai fare like we did though. Phuket's tourists comprises of mostly Caucasians so you'll find much more Western food than Thai food. Weird isn't it?</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;">The good thing about Phuket is you could easily find stretch of beach which is maintained pretty well by the locals. Of course, the beach chairs with the umbrellas come at a price of around 200 Baht. It would be worth it if you plan to spend a substantial time at the beach. If you choose to leave your belongings under a tree, there probably wouldn't be anyone to look after your belongings.. However, stay wary and keep an eye on your valuables even while frolicking in the waves!</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;">We were missing the cheese prata from Bangkok, and it so happens that they have a stall at the street right outside our hotel! Not missing a beat, we took a quick snack to quell our hungry stomachs. Although not as good as the one we had in BKK, it's still pretty good! </span><span style="color: #e06666;">The locals call this pancake but its just like our prata. Our fav flavour is condensed milk with butter and sugar! Sooo sinful..... but delicious~!!! Can't find the dinner photos we had on day one but food is easily remember everywhere. As Phuket is filled with tourists, almost every restaurant has vegetarian options. FYI, "zei" means vegetarian in Thai.</span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666;">Most of the hotels in Phuket would cater to day tours lasting from half a day to whole days so take your pick! While pricier than the tours you get outside, it would definitely be more reliable. Besides, they would arrange pickup at your hotel so it's convenient too!</span></div>

It's really crowded as you can see from the pictures. So it's difficult to find a quiet spot to take photos. Nevertheless, just snap as much as you can! Only worth spending about 15-20 minutes here...</span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">Next stop was a nice bay and we did a bit of snorkeling. The snorkeling was a far cry from Redang though, so we only swam for a few minutes before surfacing. The currents were stronger than Redang so me being me, I suffered from seasick and poor Kerwyn had to take care of me. Thank goodness the boat prepared freshly cut watermelon and pineapples for the tourists to enjoy! Cured my seasick because they were sooo juicy and yummy!</span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394;">The final stop was Khai Island. It's very paradise looking in nature, with beach chairs on a pristine sandy beach with fine sand. The waves actually lap up right to your feet due to the relatively flat nature of the beach. You can do jet skiing here for a fee, or just take a stroll and a dip not too far from shore to see some small fish. </span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666;">PARASAILING!!! I've been wanting to try it out for so long! It's kinda expensive though and we aren't that good at bargaining! Oh wells, just for the experience so whatever...</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Due to the low season, parasailing seemed to be offered only at Patong. The weather conditions on this beach seemed to be the most favourable too!</span><br />

So if you're looking to have a luxury stay and don't mind paying a bit more to be in the bustling area of Patong, go ahead and try any of the hotels along this beach. You most probably wouldn't be disappointed.</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;"> Packing our bags, we left the train station of Santa Lucia in beautiful Venice to depart for a place known for high standards of living - Zurich. A plane ride would be possible too, but we decided to take the train, as it would take a scenic route through the Alps to our destination. Besides, it wasn't all that convenient to get to the airport from Venice so we took the train! </span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">Tickets were booked online, Trenitalia from Venice to Milan and changing to a Swiss train from Milan to Zurich. The total train ride was about 7 hours so be ready for a long ride! But you can be sure to enjoy a great view when you pass into the borders of Switzerland.</span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394;">For our hotel choice we decided on Easyhotel as it was one of the more reliable and cheaper options. However, it is a far cry from the one we stayed in Earl's Court London as it was relatively larger! Cleanliness was of course top notch so do give it a try! Besides, it is also within walking distance to the public transport system in Zurich.</span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394;">Hunting for dinner, we went into town to take a walk in the highly wealthy city where you really see banks all over the place. Prices of food are pretty exorbitant too, so we decided to grab a bite at the supermarket. The selection is pretty decent and we got vegetarian friendly choices too! The supermarket is known as COOP over there.</span><br />

Gnocchi and Raviolis were absolutely awesome! Whilst not the cheapest dining option compared to what we have in Singapore, it's considered decent as most of the clientele at Hot Pasta come from the universities so do pop by to give them a try!</span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666;">Kerwyn was suuuuper disappointed as we passed the cloud layer and didn't see any snow. He kept complaining that reviews on Uetliberg just two weeks before showed a winter wonderland and all we saw was melting snow! So don't be 100% sure of snow even though you visit in the middle of winter!</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;">Although I was really disappointed with the lack of snow, the views more than made up for it. It is amazing to drink in the sights of the distant Alps, although one can be expected to be constantly whipped by wintery winds. Of attractions, there is an observation tower which is free to access. There is a planetary trail which is 8 km long and leads to a cable car station further down the ridge. As we were feeling really cold and sunlight was dwindling, we decided to stay and watch the sunset instead.</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;">As Zurich was a really expensive place to dwell in, we only stayed 2 nights. Once again, it was really simple to get to the airport. We took the bus to Zurich Central where we caught Tram 10 directly to the airport. No worries about delays here as punctuality is a given in Zurich! Time is money after all!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;">When we got to the airport, we spotted something which was rarely seen in Zurich! It's also my favourite place because of my favourite... </span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;">So finally, our Europe trip has come to a close. Sheena went for her immersion course in Ireland while I returned to Singapore. Europe is absolutely lovely place to go to, and just observing the culture and rich histories can be so much fun. I would definitely return to Europe given the chance, and look forward to opportunities which can get me to Eastern Europe too!</span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666;">One of the things to do as a couple is to travel together. No one else but the two of us really brought us closer. A better understanding of one another and how we perform and react under stresses. Although we spent some time far from each other during my programme in Ireland, we grew far stronger together through this trip and it will form a beautiful part of our memories! To all our readers, thanks for following our Europe trip and do check back for more updates on the life of Doublehellos!</span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394;">Waking up really early because I booked the wrong train timing, we took the Roman metro from station Republica to station Termini where we took Trenitalia from Rome to Venice.

<span style="color: #0b5394;">Lunch wasn't a problem as cafes with reasonable food are in the vicinity of the S.Lucia station, which is also within walking distance of our hotel Abbazia. The vaporetto stop 1 was the most common route that ran up and down the Grand Canal. In order to take this vaporetto for an unlimited amount of times, be sure to go to the train station at Santa Lucia, and look for a tourist booth at the right side. You can purchase a <a href="http://www.hellovenezia.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=178&Itemid=158&lang=en" target="_blank">Rolling Venice</a> card which entitles you to many perks as long as you are 14 - 29 years of age.</span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666;">It's really nice to enjoy the ride along the Grand Canal in the wintery weather although it might get really cold at night. It's interesting to see how the buildings are so close to the water! All along, Kerwyn kept explaining on how the people who founded Venice built their houses on the lagoon. All I know is that it's really beautiful!</span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">The famous Rialto bridge! Together with Campo San Margherita it was our sightseeing place for the day. Venice has no road vehicles, so you either make your way around on foot or on water buses! All we can tell you is get lost! Literally, since a map doesn't help much, just ask your way around to either St Mark's Square or the train station and you will be fine!</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;">Before we returned to our hotel to conclude our day, we popped by the famous and beautiful St Mark's Square before heading to some random restaurant for our dinner. The prices are the highest around St Mark's, and if you are the kind to people watch it would be pretty worth it as you get to bask in the atmosphere while people watching.</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;"> Sheena has been looking forward to a gondola ride down the canals of Venice, so since this is a mini-honeymoon trip, why not take it once in a lifetime right? It is pretty pricey with official prices set <a href="http://goitaly.about.com/gi/o.htm?zi=1/XJ&zTi=1&sdn=goitaly&cdn=travel&tm=17&f=10&tt=13&bt=8&bts=71&zu=http%3A//www.gondolavenezia.it/history_tariffe.asp%3FPag%3D43" target="_blank">here</a>. There are official stations around which you can bargain slightly, but if you go to the quieter canals you could probably get a better price. Since Sheena gets seasick easily we got a shorter trip for cheaper! </span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;">Whilst it was lovely to ride in a gondola, it can be considered as a once in a lifetime luxury experience as there is nothing extremely special about it except probably for the company you get - that is whoever is riding with you. Do give it a try if you have some spare cash, but don't fret about missing it!</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;">Waking up early again to catch the limited daylight, we encounter a huge fog on our trip to Murano, the famed outlying island for glass blowing. We were worried about the ferry's handling but it seems the watermen know the waters really well.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Murano isn't much too look at nowadays, especially during non-peak seasons. Whilst some traditional glass blowers still operate in Murano, don't expect every store to be open. Perhaps if you are lucky you could catch the peak periods where there is more activity, but for us we just walked around and looked for some gifts for our parents.</span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">A memorable lunch by the riverside as it was well into lunchtime. The ferry trip does take quite a while (30++ mins) so do plan your journey! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Our next stop was Burano, where the name might not ring a bell, but the famous multi-coloured facade of houses would definitely register something. Those that you see on Nippon paint ads in the past. It was a tad disappointing when we got there though. The time was well about 3 pm and the daylight wasn't lasting much longer, and those houses with their old paint don't look as striking as they do in pictures we see. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">In conclusion, if you have time like us, there isn't any harm in popping down by Murano and Burano. But if you have only two days to spare, feel free to give this island hopping experience a miss.</span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">Me doing the cool online check in and our short haul plane!</span></div>
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Once we concluded our stint in London, it was time to move on to our next destination - Italy! The land of nice nice pasta! As it was considered a short haul regional flight, the airport was Gatwick instead of Heathrow. The Gatwick airport can be easily reached by a shuttle bus service <a href="http://www.easybus.co.uk/" target="_blank">Easybus</a>, which can save you tons of money instead of taking a cab.</span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">We took British Airways from Skyscanner as they had the most competitive price, about 200 SGD per pax. When we landed in Leonardo Da Vinci Fiumcino airport, we collected our Roma pass at the tourist information, but the pass was pre bought in Singapore. More information about the pass can be found <a href="http://www.romapass.it/?l=en" target="_blank">here</a></span><span style="color: #e06666;">! </span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">We got to stay in a really nice hotel Quirinale. We simply took a shuttle bus service from the airport which dropped us right outside the hotel lobby. Checking in, we found a really nice vintage looking room with clean toilet! That's my best gauge for a good hotel! It was also within walking distance to the subway which makes travelling really simple and easy.</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;">Ahh... Italian fare, how much I miss it! We walked into a random restaurant and tried out their "tourist menu" It was enough to feed two Asians even though we were starving, and all for a pretty reasonable price so we weren't complaining. Although it wouldn't be the best you can get, but I would say just for a simple dinner it would suffice.</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;">So our Roma pass entitled us to unlimited subway rides as well as rides on some of the buses. Rome is pretty small, so it was really easy to get around. If you had the perserverance, making your way around on foot would be very possible. But since we were lazy, we just took a bus from our hotel near the metro Republica, to somewhere near Museo Sacracio delle Bandiere.

As we were going in they were an hour to closing so we had to scurry around and absorb whatever we could and take as many pictures.

<span style="color: #0b5394;">Our last day was spent going to one of the most revered places in the world. Personally it was really awesome because it's featured in Da Vinci Code. Fans of Dan Brown would know! It's actually really gratifying to spot certain features which have been mentioned in the book, and to be there to see it personally just takes your breath away. This, is the Vatican city. (No pictures from the Sistine Chapel, but never give it a miss!)</span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">We have been wanting to visit the Adventure Cove ever since its opening last year, but due to our busy schedule, we have been postponing it! ): BUT... the time has finally came for us to visit it because Kerwyn's cousin was planning a family outing to the Adventure Cove! ^^ As Kerwyn is having his internship, we had to go on a weekend.

<span style="color: #0b5394;">No family photo, sadly, because we were rushing to get a cabana. There's only 5 cabanas available for rent ($128) and its on a first come first serve basis. We didn't manage to get 1 because it was really crowded, but we managed to get a cabana that was for free. The difference between the rented one and the free one is that, it includes a personal standing shower, ceiling fan, water bottles, towels and food vouchers. We thought that the free one was good enough since we won't be staying there most of the time. If you're worrying about queuing for the toilet to get a shower, it was quite a short wait, at most 10 minutes for both men and women.</span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666;">We do not own a waterproof camera, so there wont be any photos about the rides we took. There is an area for you to place your goggles and it isn safe to place your camera there. Goggles aren't necessary because you won't be able to bring it with you through the rides. Here's a quick review on some of the rides we took.</span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394;"><u><b>Dueling Racer</b></u> - Very safe for children. My 5 year old cousin took it without a single scream when my dearest girlfriend screamed her way down.</span> <span style="color: #e06666;">As for me, I never liked taking such rides, I didn't take it when we went Sunway Lagoon. Unlike Sunway Lagoon, the mat provided by Adventure Cove has handles so I can grip on tight to it without worrying... So... I agreed on taking the ride! :D</span> <span style="color: #0b5394;">My aunt took a video of us down the ride!</span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666;">Some of the rides are side by side, e.g. <b><u>Pipeline Plunge</u></b> & <b><u>Tidal Twister</u></b>, so there's 2 queues on the same stairway which is a lil confusing because we do not know which is more fun?</span> <span style="color: #e06666;">No worries about odd numbers because you can take the rides alone. For us, the best ride was the Riptide Rocket! Longest waiting time! We queued for a good one hour! The ride lasts about 30s which brings you into tunnel and out with a sudden plunge and climbs. </span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666;">I love the <b><u>Rainbow Reef</u></b> - best snorkelling experience I ever had! Haha. Sounds stupid, but yeah, because I have really bad motion sickness, the currents in the sea would always get me seasick when I'm snorkelling. Rainbow Reef provides you with the snorkelling mask and life jacket which allows you to enjoy the snorkelling experience in peace. </span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394;">As most of you probably know by now, the aquarium is housing some dolphins. While the stories we hear in the media did make my heart wrench a little when I saw these beautiful creatures swim around in captivity, it was still something that we both appreciated a lot.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;">In fact, the dolphins are really pretty friendly and they kept swimming up to the swimming glass for photo opportunities! You can see one almost smiling in the lower pic!</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;">The huge huge viewing tank! It might be the largest one in the world if my memory serves me correctly. There's no harm just taking a seat, and just watch the fishes school and swim past. They've got manta rays and an awesome habitat just set out for one to admire!</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;">Looks like a nurse shark, but there wasn't any writeup anywhere near except about lemon sharks.. but I don't remember lemon sharks looking like that... ANYWAYS the shark was resting at the bottom with a couple of its friends. It seemed to be sleeping soundly so I decided to snap a picture with it! This qualifies as my favourite shark due to its default "sleepalike" position. </span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666;">And that brings us to the end of S.E.A aquarium and our adventure cove tour! Tickets to both these attractions are priced at $59 for a one day pass to both. For just S.E.A it would be $33 for both peak and non peak, while Adventure Cove costs $29 for non peak and $33 for peak. If you have a good idea how to spend your day, go for the package! Even though the aquarium closes at 7 pm, we stayed well after 7, almost until 730, although there was a growing stress to quickly finish the attractions. So do come down to S.E.A and Adventure Cove for a great day of activities!</span></div>

Monsters University movie is coming out in exactly 2 weeks time! Really excited about it!!! I told Kerwyn that this is going to our 4th anniversary movie the moment I saw the trailer! </span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #e06666;">Why I'm excited? Firstly, I enjoyed watching Monsters Inc and Monsters University is all about how it started before Mike & Sulley joined the incorporated. Its so similar to the real world isn it? People of the same interest come together and they work towards their similar goal together. Secondly, I officially ended my student life just weeks ago, so its high time to relieve my college life! Those days of making new friends, joining new clubs, exploring the canteen... ^^ Lastly, there's always something to learn from Disney movies and I wonder what it is going to be this time round! :D</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Well I'm still in my final year in university, so it would be easier to draw comparisons with Monsters University! Pixar makes really awesome animated movies, and Monsters Inc didn't disappoint, I'm pretty sure Monsters University would be a huge huge hit. Furthermore, I just love how Sulley makes fun of Mike and their interactions. It's always interesting to catch the prequel to a good movie, as you get to see the backgrounds of the characters you grow to like. Well it's a must watch for me, and so should everybody else, young or old!</span></div>

Our London breakfast at the Golden Arches near our hotel</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"London bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down..."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">A nursery song we're all familiar with! In order to see the famed London bridge, one of the best ways would be taking a leisurely cruise down the river Thames - and we did just that!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #e06666;">We booked our cruise beforehand from <a href="http://www.citycruises.com/" target="_blank">City Cruises</a>. They have lunch and dinner cruises, but the most budget friendly option would be their Sightseeing cruise. The online price for the River Red Rover is 15.30 pounds while the pier price is 17 pounds, so you make a saving of 1.70 per pax if you book online!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">If you aren't sure of the route to plan, choose the Red River Rover as it would allow you to hop on and off freely, whereas the other option offers directional travel which imposes more constraints. So after having our breakfast, we tubed down to Westminster, where you can reach the pier easily by walking. After boarding, the ferry departed to pick up more passengers at the London eye just across the river.</span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">We had a wonderful guide, who was by no means an official guide, but just a boatman who was very familiar with the sights on the river. One amusing act which he pulled was to ask us to smile and wave at people on bridges as we passed under it, as if they waved back we would have 7 years of good luck! No wonder we always see people on ferries waving!</span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6;">At last, the famous tower bridge! If you were to make a search for the London bridge, you would find nothing but a modernized bridge as boring as ever. The actual medieval looking bridge is actually named Tower Bridge, situated beside the Tower of London. </span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394;">Greenwich, with the Meridian Line where longitude is zero, and where you can actually see the line dividing time zones! Before we got to the line, we had to walk through a beautiful park. The right map shows the Greenwich park which we had the pleasure of strolling through before reaching the observatory with the famed line. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;">It's this park where we saw tons of people walking their dogs! It was a nice sunny weather, even though it was during winter, you could see how much the dogs and their owners were enjoying their walk in the park. The cool weather also let the dogs have really nice coats and we saw some nice golden retrievers! Makes you just want to move here hee...</span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">Well I'm not much of a history person so I tried to catch whatever Kerwyn recalls or reads on the write ups posted everywhere. One piece that caught my eye was this dolphin sundial! The tips of the fins cast a shadow and the contact point between the two points shows the time of the day! It's so nicely designed! Love the way the dolphins seem to resemble a heart shape.</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;">By the time we had completed Greenwich, it was almost dusk as the days get really short in winter. Since the London Tower tour was already closed for the day for a private event, we decided to take the ferry all the way back, and move to our next destination - St Paul's Cathedral.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">After the 284 steps in Paris, we arrived at another challenge that required us to walk 271 steps!!! What's 271 steps when we have conquered 284 steps right? But... the steps here are more irregular and the space available is more narrow... For a student price of 14 pounds bought on the spot, we got to climb to the Whispering Gallery first, where we tried out the acoustics but failed miserably.. next, we climbed up further to the Golden Gallery.</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;">This was at the very top of the dome, where we caught a breathtaking view of London! It's really amazing how such an old structure can still command such a view...</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394;">With that, we completed our short but fruitful tour of London. While it may not be the most romantic city in Europe, London has its own charms which draws so many people from all over the world. Most of all, we get to speak English comfortably! While many of us may take it for granted, the English language can be scarce in certain parts of Europe. </span></div>

As you can probably tell, our itinerary isn't exactly favorable in terms of following a smooth geographical route. Commonly people would travel from London down to Paris and then to Italy and so forth. But we decided to come to London second because of time constraints, and of course to participate in the countdown!</span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">First things first, since we were in London and there was very little shopping to do early in the morning. We decided to pay the famed Stonehenge a visit. </span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">Now the Stonehenge is quite a distance from London, it lies about 140 km to the west in Salisbury. In order to reach Salisbury, we had to travel by train from London Waterloo. You can choose to book the tickets in advance or purchase them on the spot. We bought the tickets at the station itself, and it costs us around 36 pounds. </span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6;">After 1.5h, we finally reached Salisbury. It was a simple task as they had signs leading to where we should take our tour bus. Our tour was pre-booked online with Wilts and Dorsets for 24 pounds per person. Of course feel free to choose from the handful of tour operators, since Wilts and Dorsets' website doesn't seem to be up at the moment.</span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6;">While we had an umbrella which braved against the gale force winds, it finally perished and joined a graveyard of umbrellas lying by one of the trash bins. If you get to visit the Stonehenge make sure it's a nice weather!</span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">A tourist approached us to take photos for them and we took like at least 5 shots for them with different angles. After that, he helped us to take several shots with different angles too! Haha. It was really unbearable to stay out there for long! The rain was hitting on us like needles and the wind was super strong! We were out for like maximum 5 minutes! </span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6;">The tour also dropped us off at the town of Salisbury, a quaint place where there were old buildings, together with a slow pace of life. It's something hard for us to get used to, but definitely a more relaxing change of pace.</span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666;">Dinner at a random restaurant on Oxford Street! Its pretty easy to find food in London, pastas, chinese cuisines, Indian cuisines and the like. London is pretty cosmopolitan so food wouldn't be an issue. </span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">In addition, they speak good old Queen's English so there wouldn't be any worries about communication. </span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">We reached the Embankment area at around 9+pm? The crowd was crazy!!! Road blocks everywhere and tubes were really packed! We brought minimum items out with us! We stood for nearly 3h!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Londoners and tourists who were probably more experienced even brought their own liquor to enjoy while waiting for the moment. People dancing in the streets freely without any inhibitions. Great entertainment while we watched on as spectators waiting for the fireworks..</span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">BUT, the wait was really worth it when the countdown started. We didn't stand at the best spot but it was good enough. I didn't really take much photos because I was just too mesmerized by the scene. By the way, the fireworks and the music that the DJ was playing were in sync! SUPER COOL~!! </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">As soon as the fireworks ended, people started leaving the countdown area. It was kind of irritating when the crowd jams up. Us, being the petit Asians, couldn't spot what was going on up ahead which was causing the jam. But finally, as we got further out, we saw that the crowd control officers only let people leave in waves in order to prevent too much chaos. Although it's not exactly pleasant when you are stuck in the crowd, it was still an attempt at crowd management, so kudos to the organizers!</span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6;">If you're planning to spend countdown in London, this map is rather useful to determine which spot you would like to stand. Do some research beforehand to know where are the vantage points to view the fireworks unobstructed. Also bear in mind the ease of exit from the area just in case anything happens. Anyway the best spots are usually taken by the locals, we spotted people waiting since 5 pm, so you just have to try your luck. </span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394;">While Gardens may seem out of the way being at the very southern part of the CBD, it's still pretty accessible with a 5-10 minute walk from Bayfront MRT of the circle line.</span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Had a lovely day bringing Sheena to see her favourite flowers bloom in the hundreds. Entrance to one conservatory is $12 and $20 to both.

We didn't squeeze in any attractions in the morning as our train to London was at 12.13pm and Eurostar requires us to check in 30 minutes before departure time.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">As some of you know by now, our hotel Ibis is situated really near the metro station Cambronne. So we lugged our luggage, took line 6 towards Nation and alighted at Montparnasse Bienvenue, where we visited the Montparnasse Tower. Then we changed to take line 4 toward Porte De Clignancourt and alighted at Gare Du Nord, the interchange where our Eurostar train waited.</span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6;">The Eurostar isn't the cheapest travel option from Paris to London but definitely one of the more convenient ones. We paid approximately S$150 per pax when we booked online. Air fares are cheaper but we just wanted to avoid the hassles of airport security. Besides, it's a cool experience!</span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6;">After 2 hours of train ride, we arrived at St Pancras Station. Note: London is an hour ahead of Paris. As Kings Cross station is right beside it, we went to check out Harry Potter's Platform 9 3/4.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">If you are a super huge fan of Harry Potter, do visit the Harry Potter Studio which is very recommended by my friends who visited it! (:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">We also bought our SIM card from Three at Kings Cross because it offered us unlimited data! After getting the Oyster card, we finally made our way to <a href="http://www.easyhotel.com/hotels/london_earls_court.html" target="_blank">easyHotel at Earls Court</a>.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #6aa84f;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #6aa84f;">Travel tip:</span><span style="background-color: white;"> Travel in London goes by zones on the tube, or better known as the London Underground. The Oyster card is a MUST just like our EZ Link card, which warrants some savings. Be warned though, travel on the tube is still not cheap, about a pound and up for one journey</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;">It takes about 5-8 minutes to walk to the hotel. Rather convenient as there's Salisbury, Marks & Spencer, Macdonalds, Costa and several cafes and restaurants around the area. On top of that, the hotel is CHEAP! SGD330 for 3 nights for a room with windows! Although there's no free wifi, no free tv and the room was small, we like how clean the room was and the coziness! Since our itinerary was planned such that we're out the entire day and would be dead tired by the time we get back to the hotel, we felt that there was no need to look for a better hotel with the mentioned amenities.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">It's a quaint little neighbourhood, but the streets still have some traffic going about at night, so no worries about dark alleys and stuff of the like. Just make sure you walk along the main streets and you'll be fine.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666;">By the time we settle down, it was near 5pm and we decided to make our way down to Covent Garden to meet Kerwyn's friend who happened to be in London for dinner. He recommended us to <a href="http://www.belgo-restaurants.co.uk/" target="_blank">Belgoo Centraal</a> which offers a deal known as the "Beat the clock". It is available only on weekdays, 5 - 6.30pm, where we pay the amount shown on the time of the receipt. If you reach at 5.30pm, this means that you only pay 5.30 pounds! There's a limited menu to this deal though but still worth it! (:</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;">The closing time of shops during winter is really early, by the time we finished dinner, most shops were closed! No shopping for me ): Thus, we decided to take a walk around the area to enjoy the beautiful lightings on the streets (:</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">We did manage to pop in Accessorize and a couple of shops before they closed. Most of all we tried Laduree macarons! =D</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;">Covent Garden and the Embankment is within walking distance of around 15 minutes. Around the Embankment, you can find iconic spots such as the London Eye and the clock tower of Westminster Palace, also more commonly known by the name of the bell within it - Big Ben. It was really nice to take a stroll by the Thames River even though its winter time. Perhaps its because of Kerwyn, always warming me up with his hands... teehee... ^^ That wraps up our journey to London! Do stay tune to some of the places we went in London!

We'll really try to update more because I've gotten a new camera, which is a motivation for us to blog more often too.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">Here's our itinerary of our day 2 in Paris:</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">Our day started early in order to catch the first bus.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSSzlTo19JjFwPTCMRjp5dxnGj2MFcIF2cwYSaKOlwvQwmFEVVFDiYRo9_3pLtakNSqmo3qm62p0_PBqwsw0X3IUGBYTwx_bV8-mfwp8qRWiQWgPBFj6BDdxaOzdGO5BMdkzAB3JZPwik/s1600/FB_IMG_13567660986905368.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSSzlTo19JjFwPTCMRjp5dxnGj2MFcIF2cwYSaKOlwvQwmFEVVFDiYRo9_3pLtakNSqmo3qm62p0_PBqwsw0X3IUGBYTwx_bV8-mfwp8qRWiQWgPBFj6BDdxaOzdGO5BMdkzAB3JZPwik/s320/FB_IMG_13567660986905368.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<span style="color: #e06666;">As mentioned in the earlier post, we purchased our Paris Pass in advance and it allows us to visit most attractions for free. The tour bus is really good because it drops us at the attractions we wanna visit and they come at very regular timings!</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">The <a href="http://www.parispass.com/" target="_blank">Paris Pass</a> is available online and they do ship to your home. Collection is possible although you would have to make your way to their office in Paris which isn't all that convenient. Some perks in the Paris Pass would be priority entry at attractions as we shall see later on when we come to the attractions. As for transport, as Sheena has mentioned, there is also the Les Cars Rouge City Bus Tour (Hop on Hop off) as well as the Bateaux Parisiens River Cruise which makes the Pass really value for money!</span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">Our first stop is... Louvre Museum! And... It's famous for the Mona Lisa painting! We went there on a Saturday and the crowd is... OMGGG~!!! They also placed a wooden barricade to prevent tourists from getting to close to the painting. My friends, however, who went on a weekday could go very close to it as there was very lil people in the museum. </span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">This is one of the attractions where the Paris Pass REALLY comes in handy. To beat the long queues, we just showed our Paris Pass and the security ushered us to an empty line where we strutted in like a boss! </span><span style="background-color: #6aa84f;">Travel tip: </span><span style="background-color: white;"> When you enter the Louvre there will be people pushing roses to you, selling trinkets or asking for your signatures, just avoid them at all costs. In fact these people appear throughout France, so just be wary wherever you go!</span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">The next stop is the Notre Dame Cathedral. Famous... because of the cartoon I suppose? Haha. I don't know, I'm someone really poor with history. The structures were very nice though! There was a very very long queue to enter the higher floors of the cathedral and our Paris Pass did not allow us to gain priority access, so we didn't go for it. </span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Whilst the upper floors didn't have priority access through the Pass, the Paris Pass still includes Notre Dame as one of the attractions which you can enter. (I might sound like a salesman, but hey, good stuff are worth sharing). As we aren't well versed in history or the arts, we can't tell you anything about the history. But something definitely resonates with the visitor when visiting such wonderful monuments. Oh, and the gargoyles aren't that scary at all, for me that is.</span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">Settled for lunch near the cathedral. It was nice sitting by the window as we could people watch while we waited for our food. It's a great feeling when you can slow down your pace, and just enjoy a cup of coffee. Kerwyn & I never ever did so in Singapore, did you?</span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6;">It's definitely a change of pace in another country. Keep your phones, save for taking pictures. Don't check for wifi, don't check your emails, relax, enjoy. Bask in the atmosphere of watching crowds passing by. You'll have a great time!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">After lunch, we set off for The Orsay - originally a train station in 1900s, it became an art museum as the name suggests, Musee D'Orsay, due to the fact its short platforms couldn't accommodate the newer, longer trains.</span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">We didn't know what to look out for, and Kerwyn managed to spot something I wouldn't have realized. That there was a mini exhibit for Van Gogh's pieces and he excitedly went to check it out.</span><br />

Right - Starry Night Over the Rhone</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">I am no art student and all I can remember about Van Gogh was he died from a gun shot wound to his head and 2 of his pieces - Starry Night and Sunflowers. Unfortunately there was only the other Starry Night, painted in 1888, that is Starry Night Over the Rhone. Nevertheless, it was an interesting experience, stepping into an art exhibit which I would probably never do back in Singapore. </span> </div>
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #e06666;">The 4th stop is the Palais Garnier, also known as the Opera de Paris. It's an Opera House which has a tour included from the Paris Pass. Be sure to check your guide book and arrange a suitable timing as they would not allow an Paris Pass entries once the tour is over! As for us, we paid student rates to get in since we were already there, even though we missed the tour.</span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">Since its winter, night time sets in earlier. Enjoyed the lightings as we chose to set on the upper deck of the tour bus. </span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">It would get pretty cold in winter, so if you're up for it, go ahead, but do make sure your ears and face is covered from the biting winds!</span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">Once again, because it's a weekend, the queue to enter the building was really really long. However, our paris pass allows us to gain priority access. It feels SUPER GOOD when you just show a card and off you go. Something which caught us by surprise was... the entrance to the building where we showed the card, was the starting point of the LONG AND SPIRAL STAIRS!!! </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">It was definitely worth climbing though, the view was spectacular but it was freezing~!! </span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Arc De Triomphe, commissioned by Napoleon, stands at the center of twelve radiating avenues which is lighted brilliantly at night. Going up to the top is a definite must as the view it commands is unparalleled even though it is not the tallest structure in Paris. As Sheena mentioned, do remember to use your Paris Pass to skip the long queues! The bus stop from Les Cars Rouge stops opposite the Arc, so you would have to go into an underpass in order to reach the Arc. </span><span style="color: #e06666;">It was at this underpass though, that I saw someone bend suspiciously near Kerwyn's backpack. When I turned to look, he stiffened back into a normal walking posture. Close shave! Even though there was nothing valuable in Kerwyn's backpack..</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">The final stop was the Trocadero. Unfortunately it was raining by the time we reached this attraction so we didn't spend much time. Besides, as night has fallen it wasn't really easy to appreciate the architecture there. However, the view from Trocadero of the Eiffel tower and Champ De Mars is absolutely amazing. </span><span style="color: #e06666;">Which of course, calls for a self shot like above!</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;">After a hasty picture taking session, we hurried back to some place near our hotel where we had dinner at <a href="http://www.yelp.com.sg/biz/pizza-iolanda-paris" target="_blank">Pizza Iolanda</a>. Unfortunately we were famished and really freezing so we didn't manage to take pictures! Nevertheless, the link brings you to some reviews about the place, which offered decent Italian fare. </span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">We also had a nice bit of chatter with an Indian man who was on vacation. Through the conversation it suddenly occurred to me that not many people know about Singapore, but I was still proud of our tiny red dot =D</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"> So with that, we finished our short but fruitful tour of Paris. We wished it could have been longer as many of the attractions had much to offer. </span><span style="color: #e06666;">We also told ourselves that we would do much more research about the attractions in order to appreciate them better! </span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">While some visitors have complained about acts of racism, we were very lucky to have not encountered such episodes. For us, we greeted the locals with French and in return they treated us quite nicely. So when in Rome, or Paris, do as the Romans or Parisians do and you'll be fine, just bask in the sights and sounds of the City of Light.</span></div>

Here's the first of many posts to come on our happy trip to the West! Look out for travel tips which are highlighted (use control F), they might be useful snippets of information which may help you on your trip to Europe!</span><br />
<br />
<u>IT BEGINS!</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">One thing a traveller would have to note is the possibility of jet lag if you are those with a well timed body clock. It wasn't a problem for me as I have been sleeping odd hours, Sheena was fine as she can just doze off easily, getting the rest she needs. This is because if one would like to save a day, you would have to fly at night, which meant no sleep on a bed, but on an aircraft. Our flight was a midnight one on Emirates, refer to our <a href="http://www.doublehellos.blogspot.sg/2013/02/europe-adventure-prelude.html" target="_blank">previous post </a> if you want to know the price and details! It connects in Dubai, which meant we landed there in the wee hours of the morning. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A lucky view of the A380 cockpit from our seats! <span style="background-color: #93c47d;">Travel tip:</span><span style="color: #93c47d;"> </span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">If you want to disembark quickly choose seats near the front. Because of this many people prefer front seats, hence freeing up the rear seats for sleep. Take a walk and feel free to lie down on all 3 seats for a good sleep. Wake up for meals though! and remember to try the wine, it's free!</span></div>

Disembarking at Dubai and transit in Dubai International Airport</div>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;">The flight time from Singapore to Dubai is about 7 hours, and Dubai to Paris takes about the same time. However, due to the time difference, you would "save" on a lot of time when you travel west wards. Shops are still open in Dubai Airport, but there is really nothing much there to shop (too bad for me), and just find a place near to your gate and rest!</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">After 3 hours of transit time, we took a connecting 7 hour B777 flight to Paris Charles De Gaulle airport. It isn't a huge mess which I imagined it to be. Navigation was pretty easy with English signs. However, do take note that English isn't a big hit here, which brings me to another </span><span style="background-color: #93c47d;">travel tip:</span> <span style="color: #3d85c6;">use Bonjour as a greeting in France, it could go a long way. So, we made our way to the Paris RER, which is sort of like a regional MRT. </span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">So before we got to Paris, we had to find a way to get around. As it was our first time there, there were many attractions which we had to visit. This calls for a pass that allows both travel deal and entrance to attractions - the <a href="http://www.parispass.com/" target="_blank">Paris Pass</a>. Since we were only spending two days in Paris, we got the 2 days pass for €64 per person, an additional </span><span style="color: #e06666;">€</span><span style="color: #e06666;">35 for express shipping to us because we ordered a little too late. So remember to order early to save money! If you want to know whether it is worth it, look up the attractions you want to go and sum up the entrance fees as well as the transport fees. It most likely will be if you plan to pack a lot of places in so do check it out! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">The Paris Pass includes an attraction pass, a transport pass, and a guidebook which is extremely useful. First and foremost, let's talk about the transport, more details will be revealed about the Pass as we go along! The only drawback is on the transport as it only spans zone 1 to 3. Paris is divided into 6 zones, and the airport happens to be in Zone 6. So we had to pay for a ticket to Le Blanc Mensil, circled on the map above, exit the station, then activate our Metro tickets (small white ticket you receive with your Paris Pass) when we go in. From then on, it was unlimited travel in Zones 1 to 3! During the RER ride you might encounter a man who pops a card on ur luggage for some money or ticket, just don't be alarmed and he will collect if after a while.</span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666;">Our hotel was in Cambronne which could be reached easily by the metro. We chose hotels based on their locations and most are very near to major forms of transport which is a </span><span style="background-color: #93c47d;">travel tip</span><span style="color: #e06666;"> for you! Another note about the Paris metro system is the severe lack of escalators! My poor boy had to lug two huge pieces of luggage, each weighing more than 20-22 kgs up and down flights of stairs. Do take note of this if you have a lot of luggage! </span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6;">The Paris transport system brings you to most places, so it wouldn't be tough to find a hotel which is near to a metro station. Our budget for a night was about SGD150 for two people at the maximum, of course, the lower the better. Most importantly, pictures for toilets had to look good for Sheena haha... </span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666;">So we settled on a hotel which was pretty near to the Eiffel tower, a metro station and within our budget whilst still looking decent, which was Ibis Paris Hotel by <a href="http://www.accorhotels.com/gb/hotel-1400-ibis-paris-tour-eiffel-cambronne-15eme/index.shtml" target="_blank">Accorhotels</a>. Due to it being close to the metro the price was SGD174 per night for 2 people, which is pretty decent from what we experienced at the hotel. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">We took quite a while to travel to the hotel, about 40 minutes journey due to the lugging of luggage and so, but we managed to make it and check in at about 12 pm. Following our schedule, we rested for awhile and made our way to Montparnasse tower.</span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Montparnasse tower is just a skyscraper in the heart of Paris, which isn't that big a deal if you have been up other high buildings. However, the Paris Pass includes free entry to the top floor so do give it a try. Unfortunately for us, it was extremely foggy on that day, and there was nothing to be seen. Coming back another day was out of the question because of our schedule but hey, we still had some fun!</span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666;">As most of you might know by now I'm a vegetarian! So is it possible to survive in Europe as a lacto-ovo? Kerwyn was really sweet by doing some research on food before we went, so it did seem quite possible to find suitable food. Basically crepes are a commonplace food in Paris, and we stopped by the first creperie outside the metro stop of Montparnasse Bienvenue. </span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666;">The food wasn't that expensive as it's meant for the local working class, which put us back about </span><span style="color: #e06666;">€</span><span style="color: #e06666;">4-5 per crepe without drinks. I got to eat a banana chocolate crepe (my fav!) while Kerwyn tried a Panini...</span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6;">The panini was epic. It was just cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. But the cheese was just great, which is something you have got to learn to appreciate when you're here. After lunch, we dropped by the Pantheon, which is nothing like the Roman Pantheon. To us, as we are less learned about such historic places, most of the ancient buildings are just picture taking moments.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">Sheena: Churros, OMG you never try churros before?</span></div>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Kerwyn: No leh..</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Next thing I knew we were eating churros haha... but it tasted pretty damn good with the sugar and all. Although it was a tad bit expensive at €5. </span><span style="color: #e06666;">I do feel its worth it since Kerwyn hasn't tried it before and I know he would definitely like it!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Being first timers, we couldn't help camwhoring with the tower in the background. But we had to move on, because the highlight of the day was a cruise down the River Seine, which is part of the Paris Pass package. It's operated by Bateaux Parisiens and lasts for one hour. We managed to get the timing just right, and we managed to catch a glimpse of the City of Light during dusk which was absolutely stunning. </span><span style="color: #e06666;">Kerwyn really knows how to arrange the time isn't it? Hee~!!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Board your cruise at Pontoon 3, it's a huge boat, and we were lucky to be first. We managed to snag seats at the back, which guaranteed an undisrupted view of the city but no protection from the cold.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">If you are afraid of the temperatures, don't worry! There are heaters in the enclosed areas, and the entire enclosure is glass so you still get to see most things. Best of all, there are audio guides which brief you about various attractions as we go along, in English. </span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666;">The cruise was quite an experience and the best part was I didn't get seasick! Although I did drop one of my poor gloves into the river because of the wind... ): The weather gets really chilly once the sun sets at about 430 pm so be prepared! The final part of the cruise as we docked was a beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower, which was lighted up!</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">What better way to end the day after the cruise, than to have a good dinner? We stopped by Pizza Iolanda, where we had some carbonara and a pizza margherita. Although it's in close proximity to the Eiffel Tower, the food wasn't that bad at all, and the price was in the range of our budget of </span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">€</span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">15 per pax. Beer seems to go well everywhere in Europe, so unless you're really tight, have a pint or at least half. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">There's definitely a choice for us vegetarians so fret not when it comes to meal times, just ask the waiters nicely and they'll get back to you. With that we have come to the end of the first day of Europe, but remember to check back for more as we bring you the rest of the trip!</span></div>

Since I had to make my way there, we decided that why not take the chance to travel to some other places in Europe!</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Being students, we were on a budget. However, this is not the most economical way of travelling. While many people might suggest staying in BnBs (bed and breakfast), we decided that it's safer to stay in hotels due to the comparatively larger amount of reviews on trusted sites such as Agoda and Booking.com. </span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ea9999;">The cities we went are: Paris, London, Rome, Venice, Zurich, London. In that order. Perhaps some of you might question the geographical route as in why is it not so 顺路. Well, that's because of some time restrictions we had as well as my dream to spend countdown in London. Spreading 14 days like so...</span><br />
<span style="color: #ea9999;"><br /></span>
<b>Paris (2)</b> -> <b>London (3)</b> -> <b>Rome (3) </b>-> <b>Venice (3) </b>-> <b>Zurich (2)</b> -><b> London (1)</b><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><br /></u></b>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>International Transport</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
</div>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">So first off, as with any trip, one would have to book air tickets if they would like to travel. As you can see from the route above, we were flying in to Paris Charles De Gaulle, and out of London Heathrow. And here's our recommendation for cheap tickets: <a href="http://www.skyscanner.com.sg/" target="_blank">Skyscanner</a>. This website is quite well known, and the good thing is that they provide comparisons. However, purchases would still have to be made from the airline itself, which is through another website. For example, in our case, we got Emirates return tickets at SGD 1500, which was a bargain at that time. In recent times, it seems to have gotten a little bit cheaper and I've heard people getting Qatar tickets at SGD 1000 so do give it a shot. </span><span style="color: #e06666;">Other cheaper options include KLM/Air France, but my friends who took it had bad experience (poor service, poor air quality).</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Besides the international flight, we had to get around in the EU. We took the Eurostar from Paris to London. Book directly from <a href="http://www.eurostar.com/dynamic/index.jsp" target="_blank">Eurostar</a> in order to save $ instead from other 3rd party websites. Also do book early, which yields you the best rates. We flew from London to Rome (SGD 200), and Zurich to London (SGD 165) via British Airways, also booked via Skyscanner. All prices are quoted per pax. </span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;">The rest of the journeys between cities were made on trains. Train travel is pretty convenient when travelling in Europe, if possible, do take trains! As mentioned, Paris to London was on the Eurostar as mentioned. Rome and Venice are in Italy and train travel is very simple with <a href="http://www.trenitalia.com/" target="_blank">Trenitalia</a>. It's an internal train service for Italy, and booking is simple via their website. As with other bookings make sure you book early for the best deals. </span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span>
<b><u>Accomodation</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
<span style="color: #e06666;">A lot of people would choose BnBs, and book them from sites like <a href="http://www.airbnb.com/" target="_blank">Airbnb</a>. However personally I really place a lot of emphasis on clean toilets and hotels are a safer choice for me! So, going back to a trusty site which we have used for our travels with lots of relatively reliable reviews... <a href="http://www.agoda.com/" target="_blank">Agoda</a>! Do take note of whether you go to agoda.com.sg or agoda as the accounts would be different. We're not going to do any reviews on the hotels we stayed in, that will have to wait for later posts so stay tuned ya? Instead, we're just recommending the tools which you can use for your various bookings!</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span>

We're back!<span style="color: #3d85c6;">It's been ages since we last blogged about anything, and I guess that's because of the exam period at the end of 2012, as well as planning for our long awaited Europe trip! As we get into 2013, we decided to check out if our blog is still alive....</span><br />
<br />
<b>And it is!</b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">Amazingly we've got some emails from some of you asking us for recipes and tips on travel in Taiwan and other places. We'll get down to replying you guys asap, please bear with us! I'm in Ireland right now doing an Overseas Immersion Programme, so it's pretty hard to coordinate with Kerwyn due to the 8 hour time difference, but we'll do our best to bring to you, posts about our daily lives! (exciting and the mundane).</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">As mentioned, we did embark on a 14 day mini honeymoon trip to Europe during December 2012. Of course, it would be our utmost pleasure to be able to share any travel tips and memories we collected over this trip. It's a completely free and easy trip, and everything was planned by us, well mostly me haha... before we go into any details.. let's have a little sneak preview of what's to come...</span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">Trip details such as budgeting, attraction, things to watch out for and what not would be included in the upcoming blog posts! For the avid traveller it would probably bore you, but we hope that we can help all those first time travelers to Western Europe. So stay tuned and thanks for your continued support for Double Hellos!</span></div>

<span style="color: #e06666;">Off for some shopping at 狸小路. There's quite a few streets here and a basement shopping centre which I bought really cute stuff. Price isn't very cheap though! There's a discount shop in this area where we bought all the snacks. Do buy green tea kitkat if you see one, it's really really delicious! Royce chocolate chips are cheaper in Japan too.

<span style="color: #e06666;">Travelled down to Sounkyo Gorge, situated at the foot of Mt Daisetsuzan National Park. It is created by dramatic columnar cliffs, lined with the couple waterfall - 'Milky Way Falls' and 'Shooting Star Falls'. During winter, the left one would be frozen while the right one wouldn't. Gorgeous view isn't it?</span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666;">No photos of the onsen as cameras are not allowed since everyone needs to be nude in the pool. The onsen was great! Different types of pools with different temperatures, both indoor and outdoor pools. The place was really well-maintained and clean. Washed myself thoroughly before dipping inside the pool for around half hour. Bathed with HORSE OIL products. I never heard of such product before but apparently it's really good. And indeed, my hair was so so smooth after using it (I bought 6 bottles back)! There was facial products for you to use too, and it's not those cha chad kind lor... Biore foam, Kose and some Japanese hair treatment product. Loved it there~!! :D</span></div>

KERWYN & SHEENAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11062571146871411698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-337268590982028087.post-45131773562737153302012-09-16T15:12:00.000+08:002012-09-21T18:08:08.254+08:00Tinkering, Gadgets & a Run!<span style="color: #0b5394;">Since Sheena's away on a holiday, I decided to work on the blog. For those of you who didn't realize, the previous template died totally, and now's the time for a complete makeover.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Firstly the template. It's a sweet looking template with a touch of a 50's diner called Liquorice, from blogskins or somewhere. Kudos to the author! I did some touch up since I wanted to customize it more. Lots of code to look through T-T </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Secondly the Flash. Previous background was an opaque white, which looks really ugly on the current blog, so I made the background transparent, and changed the title font to look more compatible with the current design. *Edit: Removed for now since font isn't displaying correctly.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394;">As time goes by, I'll make improvements! Next thing to work on would be the title bar and stuff... Gotta take a break from all this coding.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394;">So what have we been up to? Well we're planning to run the We Run SG10 k organized by Nike in October. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.nike.com/sg/en_gb/lp/running/?rh=true&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nikerunning.com.sg%2Fsiteshell%2Findex.html" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc7/373086_149354718460042_570592347_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Wanna run too? Do register before it's too late!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">So this just means that both of us need to start running. To aid us, we decided to get two nifty armbands to store our phones when we jog!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/c0.0.403.403/p403x403/247692_10151018280026876_1787017589_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/c0.0.403.403/p403x403/247692_10151018280026876_1787017589_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Both of them are from Gmarket. Material wise it's polyurethane kind of feel, soaks up your sweat but dries pretty quickly. After each work out just remember to rinse well with water and soap and leave to dry, preferable in the sun. The blue one fits my iPhone4 easily whereas the red one has a little bit of a problem if you try to put in an iPhone 4 with its hard cover case. So do get the upsized one if you're in doubt.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">While going out for a jog, it's great to have a pacer. Next time round we would be doing a review on the two apps which are currently quite popular. Nike Run +, and Runkeeper. So stay tuned!</span></div>
