Ok it's been days since I last updated. Anyway this is probably the last entry in Europe. So I guess its time to wrap up my thoughts a little on my experience.
For those who definitely knew better, yes I thought through and learnt a lot during this 164 days of stay in Konstanz, in Germany and in Europe. Met tonnes of new friends, a few new good and close friends despite coming from totally different cultural and language backgrounds, definitely had lots of unforgettable moments with them. Their friendliness and hospitality... I just feel so sad parting with them not because they are my new friends and I dont have other friends - rather, I have absolutely no idea when I can meet them again. 3 years? I wish. 5 years? perhaps. Where would they be in 5 years? Many many many things could happen. But I guess, these 164 days of sweet memories would be vividly stored deep under my cerebral cortex tissues (hopefully) until even after my death. Learnt that there is still warmth in humanity. They made me feel at home in Konstanz and realized I was actually not lonely :)

And the list goes on. Sorry for missing out so many names while I try to recall. Just tell me how to forget this wonderful time.
Oh yes, I felt lonely. Haha just imagine going to a place alone to study. I originally thought it would be fun, but it isn't as fun as it may seem. It's like, you'll have to start your life all over again and no one understands how you feel. Furthermore, in a new environment where you do not even really know how the society functions. Of course, there would be friendships being made and being lost, due to misunderstandings and unpleasant events, but all those are I guess life-long experiences that is normal in the adult world. You might feel wasted with certain unmendable strained relationships, but sometimes you would realized it is not really worth while keeping since it was not appreciated.
Anyway, doesn't matter. Now time to really pack up. No need to sleep liao. Haha
