Time to be used for this Europe Trip blog entry will all be in Europe time (which is 6hrs behind S'pore time). Currency exchange rate at this point of time is 1.76Euro to 1SGD.
Reached Frankfurt Airport @7:30am. The queue was a disaster @first as we dun even know where the queue starts! While queuein up, we saw a man ridin a bicycle into a shop @the airport, and also a lady with a dog in the airport! WOW! Not long after, our tour leader by the name of Kim, managed to get us all properly into the queue, and dat's where thingys got speed up!
On our way to the 1st stop, a Cathedral (forgotten the full name), Kim told us that the normal drivin speed for drivers on Frankfurt expressway is 130km/hr or more! Wow!
I stood in front of the awe-inspirin cathedral, totally amazed by the build, and design of it! We went into the inside of the Cathedral. It was very beautiful with colorful painted windows! It was really huge in there, and it seems like a service is goin to start soon..
We had Mac for breakfast. Darlin and I ordered a Filet Burger meal, and a Chicken Napoli Burger, and it cost 7Euro! Indeed, everythingy in Europe is juz EXPENSIVE!
Continued shoppin ard the Cathedral area. Bought a loaf of Sugar Butter Toast from Merzenich which tasted fantastic @the 1st few bites, but not so nice after dat.. Bought a pair of black bottom for Precious Jaen @only 6.95Euro!
While goin back to the coach, we purposely went passed the cart which sells the Curry German Sausage, and it was open alrdy! The curry sausage is called the "Curry Wurst"! It tasted yummie! I like it! The cart is situated near the Cathedral, and it cost 2.50Euro!
We quickly made a toilet trip to Mac since Kim said that the next toilet break is 2hrs later! Almost all of Germany is abt money! Even visitin the toilet @Mac cost 0.50Euro/pax! Some places may even charge up to 3Euro/pax for juz a toilet visit! Also, Mac charges 0.19/packet of chilli sauce... *faintz*
Next stop is Amsterdam, Netherlands! Took us 4hrs from Frankfurt to Amsterdam! We first went the Cheese & Clog Factory! The cheese were extremely yummie even though they looked hard! LOL! The Smoked Cheese is the yummiest!! We were shown how clogs were made. Some clogs were really cute! Had wanna get a cow design clog for Precious Jaen but din in the end coz we know it's not practical.
Dinner was @a Chinese restaurant, Fu Lu. The food was better than expected! Overall, it's quite tasty! There's plain rice, accompanied by Chicken and Lotus soup (almost tasteless), Fried Fish (looks plain but tasty), stirred-fried Cabbage, stirred-fried Broccoli (both are fanstastic), Prawns (not fresh), and a plate of Cha Siew which I dun really fancy.
After dinner, we strolled to Dam Square (a place that's equivalent to Orchard Road). The famous Red Light District is nearby, too! It was really an eye-opener! All of them were scantily dressed in onli bras, and panties, standin in a cubicle each to lure their "preys"! We also saw 2 sex workers whose boobs look really big and round!
Netherlands is really an open-minded country. Besides their Red Light District, here's why:
1. The ppl there can openly take Marijuana @Coffee House! But it is strictly not allowed to be taken out of the Coffee House.
2. Marriage of the same gender is also allowed! Should it be a female to female marriage, and they wanna a baby afterwards, the Gov't will seek help from the sperm bank to help them!
3. Saw 4 urinals in public, and one guy really pee-ed into it!
Soon, it's night time.. We made our way to Hotel Postilion. It's a lousy hotel! There's no bathroom slippers, no aircon, no refill of the tissue paper, and no fridge! Also, the showerin area partition in the bathroom is extremely small, and the bed is very hard! Arghhh! In the end, we even gotta use a fan! *faintz*
