my favourite~TRAVEL!

just came home from jacQ's house warming at her apartment near Somerset. had a great time there, in particular when we started talking about ITALY, GREECE & TURKEY.

gosh, i miss ROME so fucking much. st peter, vatican museum, museo borghese, pantheon, trevi fountain, spanish steps, colosseum, roman forum and so much more.
how i wish i can revisit rome again. http://wenhui.fotopic.net/c45075.html
is it better to revisit a place you absolutely adore and you know you'll definitely enjoy returning to or should the budget be spent on new destinations? the world is so freaking big and i'm like so freaking strapped for cash and time. damn.

i've been brainstorming alot about honeymoon destinations. decision lies solely on me so long i keep to the budget dear dear had set. wahahha.
asia is out for i TRULY have enough of it. we've been to m'sia, hong kong, bangkok (not that most people would choose such places as their choice honeymoon destinations..) and tokyo. i've been to seoul, shanghai and taiwan and him to philippines.
we've been to australia and new zealand is a little bleh~ for i'm a city girl.
america just sounded mad for honeymoon to me and exotic places like scandinavian or south africa is too much for our budget.
we've been to italy and france and we both love to explore the rest of europe. but again, the rest of europe like germany, spain, switzerland, belgium, austria etc will require longer time and higher budget too. the most our budget can sustain us is 2 weeks plus. *sigh*

so the ideal is...............the MEDITERRANEAN!! namely Greece & Turkey lah.

hearing JacQ raved about Greece & Turkey tonight made me just wanna catch the next plane there! After much reseach on the wonderful internet, i've selected my destinations!

ATHENS
acropolis! imagine socrates preaching here eons ago?! ha.


MYKONOS
wonderful greece island! tell me who can resist this????

SANTORINI
rumored to have the most beautiful sunset in the world.

and the famous black beach. i think i can stay at santorini for a long long time.

ISTANBUL
i want to see the blue mosque.

and weirdly, its a fantasy of mine to go spice-shopping (dont ask me why for i know nuts about spice. the only spice i know is pepper and umm..curry powder?) in Turkey.

CAPPADOCIA
also known as the land of fairy chimneys. mother nature at its best! comparable to the 12 apostles along the great ocean road. one is formed by waves, the other by wind.


another 11 months before i can go travelling! i need a short getaway! someone spare me the cash and time!

meantime, another ONE month before my appointment with my designer to decide on my wedding gown(WG) & evening gown (EG)'s designs. i need to do some serious research! any comments? bustier? low-back? halter? long sleeve (not that i'll necessarily take up your advice)? long train? lace? organza? duchess satin? i need suggestions!

Hey! Just been to Greece last Oct, if you are keen on gg to Greece, I can share with you some of my planning details. You might want to spend more time on the islands; they are really lovely! We regretted not spending more time there, exploring Crete and Rhode. Santorini and Mykonos are a must.
