I am back!
Hey guys!
I have finally returned after my 10-day trip to Europe! The trip was freaking AWESOME, I tell you. That is probably the only time I'll ever get to go to Europe in my youth. They had such beautiful scenery over there! So much more than Singapore...haha, mostly because it was at least a hundred times bigger than Singapore. Every single highway was lined with trees or plains. And we went around so many roundabouts! Our hotels were fantastic too :)
The places we visited were a total eye-opener for me as we visited quite a few WWII sites like Checkpoint Charlie, La Coupole, Arromanches etc. We even got to see a few war veterans when we visited Memorial Pour La Paix, a museum providing information on the Battle of Normandy
Seriously, seeing the many veterans that came to the museum to commemorate the memory of all those who died in the battle nearly made me cry, thinking about how much they went through. I can't really explain this feeling in words, so I shall try not to. And we visited the Normandy American Cemetery the next day too. The cemetery was HUGE. And to think that it only housed 40% of all those who died in war, including Theodore Roosevelt Junior.
I won't be posting up the pictures today as I am feeling really tired, even though I returned yesterday. But one thing I miss about Europe is the cold cold air! It was such a refreshing change from Singapore's humidity that I am actually missing it :D
See you later~~
