So i picked up skiing before 2013 ended. Had a great time. Though also because of my ignorance, in pursuit for fun, i caught a cold a few days later. I went out to ski even when conditions werent safe and it was cold.
Still, looking forward to my next ski experience!
Oh and i made my first snow angel! Didnt turn out well though. Haha.
On the very first day i actually missed the sharp turn back to my resort and 'hollanded'. Made a big loop around the mountain before finally getting back to my resort safe in a piece. When i missed the turn, i went down a long slope that was still steep for me. And i was thinking zomg zomg zomg. Thankfully somehow my body was able to stay in control for a large portion of it so i didnt have to roll or crash. Haha. Thereafter effectively building up my courage a lot. So i had my first white christmas there and kind of learnt the game bridge. Though i dont like it!
Came back paris for a day and had dinner with my relatives that came up from the south! My youngest cousin grew taller! Sighs im going to end up as the shortest in my generation soon. ): oh well. Haha.
Then the next day trained to antwerp, belgium. First day only walked around. Checked out the stretch relative to orchard rd. It is really quite nice because it has quite a number of old buildings that are architecturally very pleasant. And at night we went to this area call old town that is architecturally very nice too.2nd day officially fell sick. Mr nice guy went far out to the only pharmacy open on sundays in the area. And met with 3 big bad guys that tried to mob him. ): so 2nd day was unproductive. ><
3rd day was better and got around to the zoo and the aquarium that really didnt impress me. :/
Following day was moving to ghent. Aka new years eve. Most significant was seeing the fireworks to draw a close to 2013 and to welcome 2014.
First day of 2014 tried to do touristic stuff but they were closed! ): so only got to see the exterior. But i do like the town quite a bit. In the evening we got around to ice skating though! :)
2nd day after going through lots of effort trying to get hashbrown from macs for breakfast to no avail then not finding any better options after walking almost all around then finally giving up going back to macs. Haha it was really a 'i've-worked-for-it' breakfast. At least lunch was really good. :))
My starter

His main
Then we headed back to antwerp. Had fries and garlic sausage from this recommended shop.
All in all the thing i am most thankful for towards belgium in this trip is the chinese food that made me feel more familiar than what paris had been offering. Haha.
Okay that's all. More update soon! >< sorry for taking so long! :)
