POST FINAL EXAM DAY 1
what an adventurous day we had today

first of all,
jn and i were supposed to set out at 6 30am
to catch the 7 05 train
and by 6 30am, she came and knocked on my door
and guess what??
i was still sleeping !!!!
i seldom did not wake up
on an outing day
guess i really need lots of sleep from the exam days.

anyway, manage to catch the train
well, as according to the train timetable that we've checked yesterday
we need to change train at Brigg
and there were 2 routes we could take
one will reach at our destination at 12 11pm
and the other one at 12 47pm
of course we'll take the one that will reach at 12 11pm one mah

but guess what??
that one need to change train in Milan, ITALY
and we thought it was fine as the train timetable say so
who knows, the ticket that we bought
were mentioning the other route
the one that will reach at 12 47pm
( we thought that we can choose either routes one )

and so,
we were stucked in MILAN
need to buy a new ticket to the other place where we can change train !!!!!
lucky it was a short distance one and didn't cost much

the thing is,
we didn't expect that we'll leave Switzerland
i mean at first we only thought that we'll only change train in Milan
so, we have neither Euro with us, nor our passports
the train schedule for the one reaching at 12 11pm

the train schedule for the one reaching at 12 47pm

Milan Central Train Station
and so, we were stucked there for 2 hours
before catching up the next train

and since we're there,
and since we've time
so we take picture around lorrr



and there from far, we can see Mc'Donald !!!
so we headed there for our lunch

as we only exchanged 50 Francs for 21 Euro
and we've used 14 Euro for the train ticket,
we only have 7 Euro left !!!!
and we've to strategically plan our lunch
LOL.

one burger there cost 3.40 Euro ( damn ex and small)
so we decided to take one set meal for 5.70 Euro
and another cheeseburger for 1 Euro
and we'll share
so there are 0.30 Euro left at the end of the day.

anyway, we continue cam-whoring in Mc'D





and i was telling jn that
if we want to say in an 'ugly' way,
we've come all the way to Milan just to eat Mc'D
LOL.

continue cam-whoring
while exploring nearby train station


anyway, that's not the end of our journey
still long story
don't think gonna mention everything here

but at the end of the day,
because that we wanna get short cut
in the end
we reached our destination at 2pm+
2 hours later than the originally planned time

lesson learnt:
脚踏实地的做人
不要贪图捷径
not all short cuts are good
LOL.

and there we are at our destination,
Mendrisio
the Italian speaking part of Switzerland

must take picture
as a proof to our achievement
after the long and hard journey
haha.

and not the end yet,
still need to take bus to the final destination

and here we are !!!
FoxTown
the outlet stores.

jn

there were many shops inside
and they sold things cheaper than the retail price sold outside
and there i am
having my favorite ice cream
after a round of walk inside the mall

and at the end of the day,
i've gotten myself a Guess wallet
at half of the retail price
satisfied =))

took the 5+ hours train journey back to Montreux
tiring
reach home at almost 1am !!!
and it's like almost 4 30am now
shall sleep soon
good night.
