Lagging Badly

Hi folks. The Ox is back, tired and very very horribly jet lagged. It's been a wonderful, interesting week, and about the only complaint I have about the whole trip is how FAT I look in ALL the photos. Thank God fasting month is upon us, it'll help me shed at least some of those hideous, ugly pounds (hopefully). Other than THAT minor detail, I had the time of my life in Germany.

I'd love to just gush off on all the intriguing things that happened all thru the trip, but then I realised that it'll probably take the better part of the weekend to do so. Besides, seeing that I owe some people coffee (and vice versa) it would be good to keep these stories for a relaxing hot cuppa (after buka puasa, of course). Nothing beats travel stories for a conversation topic. In any case, I think I CAN summarise the whole trip (especially the more interesting parts) as follows:

1) The public transport system in Germany is heaven.
2) Big ass Merc cars serve as taxis where I was.
3) Consumers in Malaysia have been had by shitty (and I mean ultra-hardcore shitty) kebab shops. There is NOTHING like a humongous Doner Kebab, piping hot.
4) Staying up late is always entertaining.
5) The "Ah" sound that comes out of the TV late at night more often than not denotes a phone sex line, instead of a porn movie.
5) Malaysians are sooo barbaric when it comes to boarding said public transport.
6) Amsterdam is cool.
7) Never stay too long in a souvenir shop in Amsterdam. The smell of weed burning can kill you (or at least make you see intriguing things).
8) German efficiency extends even to university negotiations. Very sharp.
9) 50 cent's PIMP video is chock full of naked women.
10) Sex shops are fun to browse in. Absofrickin hilarious!
11) Be careful when window shopping in Amsterdam. What you see inside may kill you.

So much to tell, so little brain cells at work. Well, I'll be seeing you guys soon I hope, whenever my body realises we're back in Malaysia already..which brings me to my final point:

12) Malaysia is frickin' hot.
