if you think singapore is small, think again.
if you think europe is big, think again. :P
1) janet and i were waiting for our overnight train from madrid to barcelona, we barely made it in time, was panting from lugging our luggage n rushing like mad. suddenly i hear this scream. no, make it 2 screams, n i see janet rush toward 2 asian people (1 guy 1 girl). she hugs the girl. the guy n i stare at each other (like, huh??? question marks dancing around our forehead). he jokes, "maybe we should hug each other too" lols. turns out janet has met her school friend who's in northern ireland on exchange. who just happens to be traveling with the guy hongkonger (friend, not bf...) who's also on exchange la. so, turns out they are traveling from madrid to barcelona too, on the same train and carriage as us. :) so of course we spent the next few days in barcelona having fun together.
which was a relief for us, as having spent one week with janet only, we two were about to go mad... you know, janet's a really nice gal. i'm sure i'm not a monster too (maybe some beg to differ... hmmm... =p) but really, traveling with ONE person for an entire month is not a joke. seriously get conflicts which you have to resolve cos there's no other choice... haha... you can't walk off and travel alone since you've already paid for the deposits of hostels together (and it is NOT safe to travel alone)

but that's not the end of the story! after florence we went on to rome, while meghan n co went to pisa. 2 days later in rome, 3 of us went into a korean store (to buy korean instant noodles. lol) walked out of it, and... no prizes for guessing. we went like, hey, that group of 4 gals looks familiar, n they went like, hey, those 3 asian gals coming out of e store look familiar. lols. :)

in conclusion: europe's small... and singapore? even smaller... =P
