Snow雪--finally, the long wait comes to an end!

I guess the picture n the title above says it all. Yes, after being on earth for 20 years 298 days(shud be correct i tink), i finally get to see n touch n play with snow last Friday. 雪儿啊,终于能看见你了!







It was an excursion organised by Inwent, our so called caretaker here in Germany. The place where we went to is called Feldberg, the highest point in Schwarzwald (Black Forest in Germany). It is a paradise for those who haven't seen any snow before like me n those who loves skiing. It's also one of the famous tourist attractions here in Germany.





First impression of 雪 = Beautiful!! The snow here r rily rily white! Most of them r soft n fluffy, a perfect weapon for snowball fights! The temperature here is not that cold, roughly around 3 degrees.




The first thing i did after seeing snow for the 1st time. Haha! Really cold inside!

Able to see the cable-cars in the picture above? Those are the transportation to the top of the hill for people who wants to ski. We were kinda disappointed when we were told by our "tour guide" Dr Bass that skiing is only allowed for those who had attended ski-courses beforehand. Skiing equipments are also quite expensive here. However, we were allowed to do something i have not done in my life - sliding down from a slope!


That's me in the picture sliding down from the slope with the help of a plastic bag. The feeling of sliding down from a high spot is rily undescribable. It was so so fun that everyone tried so many times with different styles n positions each time! We have tried sliding down 8 person in a line together, tried sliding down facing backwards, n flat on our chests etc... Fantastic feeling! There were many young german kids there sliding down with us as well. Some of them thought that we were "jakun"... haha... As if never slide b4... Below is a video of the whole process from my point of view.. enjoy..



Fun rite? i was sliding down with my fren, ah Pau that time. Actually the speed of sliding down shud b a lot faster than what is being shown on video, it's just dat someone is too f**, haha...

Like a slide, after sliding down, we have to climb up the hill again to enjoy that great feeling once more.While waiting for my turn to slide down, i managed to talk to some germans who were spending their holidays there. One german family had a rily cute son(in pic). They were there for the first time as well. Their son is rily kawaii! He lent me dat red slide-board(i duno wat dat thing is called, the germans dun have any idea as well!). With the board one can slide down faster compared to a plastic bag. Besides sliding, my frens managed to think of something else to do - bury me alive under snow!

That's me buried under snow... those people beside me rily cruel... After burying me then laugh so happily.. zzz... Anyway, the feeling of being buried under snow is not that bad also. It's not rily dat cold as i was wearing my jacket that time. Haha! killing me is not dat easy!

Below are some interesting pictures from Feldberg. Enjoy...

weird signboard inside a bar. 12000km to Sydney but 0.002 km to the toilet. zzz...

A cute little gal whom i met in Feldberg...


This little guy managed to construct a snowman. It's not easy by the way...


Young children playing with snow...


My Nike-shoe. Wait, that's not the main point. This shoe of mine was originally very dirty after playing football with it. I wore it to Feldberg n surprise!!! It became so clean like brand new shoes. Haha. When ur shoes r dirty n u r 2 lazy to wash it, wear it to places with snow! =)

雪, made my day

雪, really is beautiful... :b
