EDIT 10: I am about to leave St. Moritz. I had a pleasant stay here and I met a few interesting people. The past two days were sunny. I also had fun breaking icicles off houses and poking things. I also went to the supermarket to buy
more chocolate. The line was huge! People had carts full as if they only went shopping once a month!
EDIT 9: It has been snowing heavily for the past two days. Snow has gotten a metre thick on roofs and cars. I also have to add that the hardest part of skiing is putting on the darn skis! The only time I fell over on the slopes was when I try to walk up a hill or when getting off a T-bar. Also, my hair gets frozen together every day so I have to wash it all the time.
EDIT 8: Good Morning and Merry Christmas~! I woke up to it snowing pretty heavily. I'm scared to go outside XD.
EDIT 7: Skiing was more comfortable today. But instead of foggy cloud, we got a blizzard. More accurately, a storm of tiny freezing knives. My face stung the second I faced the wind. Also, my goggles froze to my face and ripped a bit of skin off, lovely. I keep losing my mum on the slopes. So I have to wait at the bottom for 10 minutes till she shows up. I love my horrible skiing technique, although other skiers don't appreciate it. I also take pride in not falling over yet, yay~!
EDIT 6: My first day skiing was.....difficult? I got used to the unusually steep beginner slopes quickly but I always have to stop every few metres to wait for my slow mother. By lunchtime a fog, or cloud, covered the mountain. This caused quite a struggle. Without the ability to see more than four metres in front of you, I was having a hard time. You could barely see the chairlift in front of you either. People were grey blobs, and those shapes only appeared when they were a few metres away. I constantly got lost on the moutain and had to use the map, the fog made it even harder because I couldn't see the chairlifts or any other landmarks. I hope the weather is better tomorrow.
EDIT 5: After two days in Montreux, I am back in Lausanne. I am basically living off supermarket chocolate and instant noodles now. And even that is too expensive.
EDIT 4: It's my second day in Bern. It seriously doesn't feel that cold anymore. Despite the fact that my feet turn numb, It's fine!
EDIT 3: I'm currently in Zurich. I didn't do much but walk around and eat free samples! This morning I'm taking a train to Basel. Also, everyday I have horrid stomach pains. UGH.
EDIT 2: I'm going to leave Zhonshan today, spend the day in Hong Kong then I'll head off to Switzerland at midnight. I had a lot of fun buying stuff in China. I got plenty of cute clothes (mainly navy and poncho-like XD). I got three volumes of Kuroshitsuji (at a value of $1.50 AUD each) even though they are in Chinese, I don't care! I have two pairs of glasses, one has a case that has newspaper clipping designs. I also got a marvelous haircut, my hair is so soft and silky!
EDIT:I am now in Zhongshan. I just got back from a long day of shopping for really cute clothes and having a haircut. I'm fairly bored without my three cousins to play with. I only saw them on the first day or two. Right now one is at boarding school, the other a day school and the boy is a complete intorvert. I actuallly got the computer after he left, he was playing a videogame I guess.
I'm going to call my next holiday the 'Switzerland Trip', because it mainly focuses on said country. However, other countries will be visited such as: France, Liechstenstien, Austria and China as well as Hong Kong.
Personally, I am NOT a big fan of travelling land-locked countries, it's such a hassle. I prefer coasting around the border of places like Italy and Norway, where I have comfortable accomodation on cruises instead of dragging luggage everywhere.
But at least I get to hoard my maps once again!
In case you didn't notice, this means I'll be away for a while. That, in turn, means that I will not be able to complete nothing! I apologise for my procrastination...
