remember i was sayin i would be going to sweden in june? after which will be goin switzerland, boss jus emailed me details to go to Kiruna for the midnight sun trip in nothern sweden! OMG! u know there's this hotel tt's made of ice?? tt's the place we're goin to stay! OMG! http://www.icehotel.com/ its so so cool! haha, literally too.
know y isit called the trip of the mid night sun? cos the summer in Lapland is intense, they go 100 days without nights.. ..
the sun springs to life and continously burns for 100 days n nights without setting, melting snow n icw transforming countryside into vibrant green.
the nights are as bright as the days, across forests and mountains, the sun shines intensively, waking the river and making it shed its winter garments. (haha, modified from the literature tt the agency sent us, =p)
u know wat? 1 pax cost 13,600 SEK, using FEb's rate of conversion of 0.220639 that is bout 3000SGD per pax, wah piang! n on all co's account! gd buy hor. hee.. if i nv calaulate wrongly la.
wah, so gd, BUT, the company is not. i dunno the distributors n they r all at least 40 yrs old. cannot click... so sad.. YT (girl, my colleague, who's also goin, profile: 26yrs old, takes v gd care of me, also get me out of shits i get myslef into at wk, my best bud at wk), she wanna go Norway then Finland, cos she has a penpal there who can bring us around.
Geographically speaking, it is easier to go to Paris n Switzerland as they hv direct flights n airports, but for Norway its more inconvenient b darn ex. Finland is a train ride from Norway, on the way ma, already go so far liao, go lor.. hee.. in s'pore, a train ride away means to potong pasir, dol's place or hougang, von's place, in Sweden a train ride away is Finland, wah seh! impressive.
BUT hor, YT says muz prepare at least 2.5k as expenses, for internal flight to norway n train n accomdation. i where got so much money. so now muz save lor, n no credit card, how? hotel we muz pay 1st then claim. so headache.. sianz...
sigh.. if i really cant save enough then i'll hafta go to the sweden for the midnight sun trip d. wrong company... .. . sian.. ..
im confused. dun think i can afford to go Norway n Finland on my own.. =(
