The end marks the beginning...

so my immersion has finally ended...

after a month of german lessons, great wurst, bread, ice cream, chocolate, swims in the lakes, excursions to other cities, visits to chapels, hundreds of walks around the stadtmitte and thousands of visits to the penny markt...i must now say goodbye to Freiburg...

it's really sad coz i really like this city, for the people, the scenery, the culture and even the food...i like my NUS friends too...

this trip has not only been enjoyable, it has also been an experience in which i had a few first-times...first time i drank so much beer, first time i like beer, first time i swam in a lake, first time i saw naked pple sunbathing, first time i had italian and french friends, first time i got to hear so much german, first time i ate bread for almost every meal, first time i ate 3 cones of ice cream in a day...and yes, even the first time i smoked a cigarette...

and with the end of my immersion, my own backpacking journey is just about to start...
tomorrow yingshi and i shall embark on a new trip on our own, without the help of any god or goddess, cross-eyed lion or uncle gin...tomorrow...

to say the truth, i think we are not that well-prepared for the trip...we have booked all our hostels except for a night and i am not sure whether we can get an accomodation at all...we might lose our way, we might sleep on the streets...but it just makes everything even more interesting...

i feel that at 20, my life is just beginning to be exciting...good luck to the both of us...
