Morning

Step into a train. Wait on a roadside. Climb on a bus.

Look around you.

What colours do you see?

Black, grey, white, beige, black, black, brown, ooh, red! Then again grey, black, black, black..

Oh. So that explains why it is ridiculously easy to find me in a sea of people. Yellow tudung, pink jacket that does not fit in. Lols

Huh Huh Huh

Ich hab heute versucht, vom Hauptbahnhof nach Hause zu Fuss zu gehen. Nach einer halben Stunde bin ich ja angekommen. Aber leider zurueck am Hauptbahnhof. :)

Feeling adventurous, I decided to walk home today. It took me a half hour by public transport to go back, and I figured out walking won't take too long either. Oh, and I asked for directions at an Indonesian restaurant. Saje je nk ckp Melayu. Walaupun om itu asalnya Indonesia, kok kan masih serumpun? :)

Om itu dengan expertnya bagi direction. Bunyi mcm convincing. So I went confidently, a spring in my steps, even snapping pictures now and then to upload here later. Wait, I'll upload. So here's a few (taken with my Nokia 6288 2MP camera bcz I'm too kedekut to buy a new one):

Steindamm from the right end - this is my tempat lepak, everyday go here to buy food sebab byk tempat halal. 5 minute walk from Central Station

Centrum-Moschee Hamburg - masjid. 3tingkat kot~ :P

Then my camera went kaputt. Seriously. Haha

I walked and walked and walked according to the directions by Om.

A typical street katmanetah. Where I started to doubt the directions. I believe this is the Lange Reihe. Memang lang (long) pun. LOL

And after half an hour I arrived. Voila! Central Station! Back to where I came from. Fishhhhh

Eh, and by the way:

On a sunny morning at Bremen, I found this makcik. :)

Perakness / Jakunness

1. Using some sort of pneumatic rules, German buses lean down to pavements when they stop, so passengers doesn't have to literally climb into them. It's quite unnoticeable actually, but as I first rode on one, I had these damn heavy baggages, and I actually hold on to them to prevent them from sliding. And though most Germans are polite, a few actually laughed seeing me lugging those bags on the bus and in the subway. Damn you schweinehunde :P
2. I don't know if it's a case of trust, but you don't have to show your tickets when you ride a bus or a train. Only if you got unlucky will there be an inspector. Oh yes, and after 9 pm too.
3. You have to open the door yourself upon getting out from trains.
4. The distance of two subway stations are really close, not even a six-minute walk if you don't count waiting to cross roads. Buang karan je naik. Duh
5. Where there is no traffic light for pedestrians, walk confidently across a road and cars will be panting to stop. Even as you wait on the pavement, hesitating, they WILL stop. Do not even worry of getting hit. :P
6. I went into a fitting room. However, the door ends knee-length, and there's a round hole the size of your face on the door. You can even see people passing. Terus x jadi try baju. Haha. But not all fitting rooms are so. Most are closed with curtains. And though it's something I should have been used to, I still am a little bit suprised seeing a boy and a girl get out/in a fitting room together. :)
7. Upon stepping into a shop: "Guten Tag! Hallo!" - cheerily, upon leaving "Danke! Tschus!" even more cheerily! Mesra nya!
   
8. On sunny days, my lecturer doesn't give us homework.
9. It really really really really irks me that the Germans did not use water during istinjak. LOL.
10. Suprisingly. It takes less time than what I thought to get used to being here. And I think I'm slowly turning into an European. Why? Because I stopped converting euros into MYR each time I went shopping. Result is, I did not hesitate too much before buying. It's quite dangerous, though. :)

UncomprehensibIe

I thought, even if you have such a short short time, you could still use the chance. But some people don't think that way, no?
