Recently one of my dear friends said something to me that really sticks with me. "We can totally be ourselves in front of each other because we are true friends." It is so true. I realized how many so-called good friends now I can really call "true friends". Some people just get along with you really well, but new friendships become harder to maintain as you are getting older. The only true friends you have are those who have been with you all the way from the very beginning. We know each other by heart. Sometimes we might forget about each other for awhile, but then the friendship is always full of sweetness. I love them, each one of my true friends. We are growing up together. Something just never change, or I just don't want it to be changed.

I am a good friend? I dont know. I let people down. I am not paying enough attention to my friends' needs.

Am I a good employee? I don't know. I am not doing well enough.

Am I a good daughter? I don't know. I have hot temper and I am too fast to speak of my parents' wrong.

I am the best gf that I can be? I don't know..

Am I a good person? I don't know...maybe i don't want to know.

I'll be one year older.. in about a week or so... sometimes I still thought I was only 21...

I am maturing... taking step by step...I am not a girl anymore...

I am pushing myself.. pushing myself out of my usual comfort zone... I have realized that is the only way to grow.

I need to be thick skin...or I should say more courageous... and keep reminding myself I am 24!

I cannot run away from my responsibilities any more.

Figuring out what I want and actually doing what I should be doing.... Not to give myself any more excuses because I am grown-up... I am 24!!!!...

Learning to accept who I am... the good and the bad... to be comfortable in my own skin... yes that is how I am experiencing...at 24

I am safe and back in Vancouver, my sweet home. The bombers can't stop us having fun (that the British attitude toward terrorism)!! After more than 20 hours of traveling on Wed, we finally arrived home. It was a bittersweet feeling... traveling stopped here and back to reality at last. Now I have to look for a job. We spent our last night in London with Debbie...she brought us to a pub for drink then dinner. Haha I went into THE MOST beautiful washroom I have ever seen in that Pub... It was so crazily dazzling. Too bad the pic Pat took didn't turn out that great. Just talking to Debbie made me want to work in Europe as well. Just get a working visa and go explore. But it must be very lonely there having no friends or family around, but how often can you make this kind of decision? You have no attachments, no marriage, no kids, no dependents... I will really put this into consideration.

I loved the time we spent with Patrick's friends. They were so much fun. We had so much silly laughs. I missed them so much after we parted in Prague. My time with my BBF YangTing was great too. I relied so much on her while we were in Berlin, where to go, where to eat. We had a great time and I wished that we had a few more days together. She'll be always that special to me.

It is great coming home, but I miss Europe too... overall it was really fun and but very exhausting. I would really like to do backpacking next time with friends, but remember to bring comfy shoes!!!

Rating:

#1. Vienna: Beautiful beautiful city, everywhere you look.

#2. Paris: Great shopping place, very nice and surprisingly affordable, very friendly and cultured people.

#3. Amsterdam: I really liked their canals, very interesting city besides the drugs and Red light district; People speak very well English everywhere.

#4. Berlin: nice people; a lot of nice museums; Dresden: very nice and quiet town, very peaceful.

#5. Prague: beautiful town, downside: rude people with strong attitude problems; London: very polluted and crowded city, but polite people as long as you don't piss them off; Munich: polluted and crowded.

No place like home!!

I miss Vancouver. I loved the shopping in Paris. The beautiful Vienna. I hate the crappy Czech people (but their architectures are cool).

I miss Vancouver's food!!!!... now I know I had taken so much for granted.

London sorta sucks already ( my first night here).

I am at Vienna now. (I don't know how to use the German keyboard, having difficulty typing fast.) My trip has been good, but it started off a bit worrisome. First of all, I forgot to take my passport out of the scanner after I rushed to scanning a few copies. My dad had to drive to the airport to delivery it. Thank God that we arrived at the airport early. Then me and Pat almost didn't get to sit together for the 11 hr flight. When we arrived in Berlin from Frankfurt, we found out that the airline lost our luggage. Filed a report then waited 3 days for the luggage to come. We were a bit grossed out wearing the same clothes for 3 days.

Berlin was pretty good, not as historical like Munich and Vienna, but it's a much bigger town, much more to visit. It's funny how everyone spoke German to us and we always responded "me, no German". Haha then they would speak English to us. Most of the people there speak really well English.

Munich was crowded and loud... the Hostel is so good for party animals, our roommates were good and quiet (Canadian as well).. for the whole night people on the street are so loud that I got waken up for several times.

Beers are cheap here in Europe. We drink at least one per day. It's just not worth it to buy soft drinks here. They are sometimes more expensive then beer.

yes I am done with school but I am not that excited but a bit worried. My marks are still not posted yet. I am telling myself to expect the worst so I won't be shocked if anything bad happens (which I hope not).

about my trip. I am not too excited. I don't know why... isn't it so horrible? This proves human being is very hard to please and be content.

The new route:

Berlin (4)-Prague(1)-Vienna(3)-Prague(2)-Amsterdam(3)-Paris(4)-London(4)

No more Ireland.... it's so sad because I so want to go there. People say it's not that much fun but it's not the reason. Getting there costs us more $$$$. We have to take a flight to get there which sucks.

For the first half of the trip, there are three friends joining us. I hope there won't be any problem since deciding where to go (that pleases everyone) is no easy task. I mean I go all the way to Europe, I do want to visit the places I want to go. I know this makes me sound selfish. We sorta changed the plan in order to fit Pat's friends' preference. I hope that we can have a good time. I hope being a week together won't cause any unfriendliness between us, because being around people for an entire week 24/7 can be challenging. I am too spoiled by Pat; he lets me plan everything. But having his friends around might be different. They are people with good plans too. I hope my plan fits theirs and vice versa.

I won't be able to bring in lots of $$$$ because I havn't been a good girl saving enough money. I'll be broke on and after the trip. I hope my parents can give me some but I am not going to take any unless they offer me. I'll be in debt. Shopping for clothes won't be the cause. Shopping for all-paper-related items would be dangerous for me. I am a paper mania.

** I regret not saying enough that I care about you.. now you are gone it's too late... you have gone to a good place..i hope... tell and show someone you love before it's too late...
