On a fast speed train
Met Noorman and Kelvin yesterday and am so thankful to them for helping me clear my confusion about the Eurail pass. And for suggesting itinerary and choco-brands-dropping. It already sounded yummlicious, judging from the look on Noorman's face. Who can fault a tub of Movenpick ice-cream for 4Euros?
I've been spending a lot more time on firming up the details of my trip this November. I've placed a hold on the air tics and my Swiss holiday package is more or less confirmed. I just need to sort out the most financially friendly option for the rail pass and settle on the accom, where possible. Then, looks like mummy and I are getting away! =)
It's really about networking, this trip taught me.
To start everything off, Emman helped me with a rough idea of which countries I should go. Junhao emailed me to give his input on Germany too. Then, Christian and Frederike came along to give their input as Germans (who actually don't travel within Germany a lot). Then, Noorman and Kelvin spent 2 hours helping me with the rail and telling me how the super confusing rail thingy works.
On the other hand, Kyn and Wenn are helping to keep me warm by sourcing and making winterwear for my mummy and me. Karen is on my list of "Loan-able From", for suitcases and all those winter accessories. So is Anna.
Suddenly, I feel touched by all these effort and the whole point is, I just have to enjoy this trip tremendously. Even if it cuts short the long way that my consistent frugality has come. Ya, TREMENDOUSLY.
Please, just let the Euros drop a bit, again, dear Fed govt...
