Spain trip..:P~~
About spain ah..it's spanish name is Espana..we actually went there for the Murcia Spring Festival..Well about our journey getting there..We were devided into 2 flights..flight 1 consist of all sections exept for percussion and trumpet..they were in flight 2..The flight plan was Miri>KL>London>Spain>Murcia(by bus)..Pn.Soh really wanted everyone on the same flight so that no missing lauguage will happen..which happend..i'll talk about that later..Well anyways..miri to kl is 2+ hours..KL to london is 13 hours..yes,13 long hours..but with a mini tv how could we get bored..so entire 13 hours i was watching tv..catching up on the latest tv shows..when we reach Heathrow,which is london's airport,we had to wait for 17 more hours beacause of flight 2 i think..well anyways..london was beautiful..i think it's the coldest place i've been..even though we were only at the airport and the surrounding areas..well after 17 long hours was up,we saw flight 2 people..we waved at them then 5 minutes later they had to board the flight to madrid..Did I mention that heathrow's security clearance is very strict..u had to take off loose clothing,laptops and many other thing too..well anyways..we reached madrid and saw everyone was safe and sound..but this was when the lauguage incident happend..some people's lauguage and instuments on flight 2 had not made it yet..they said that it was all still at heathrow..lucky my stuff were all ok..well after Pn.Soh was assured that the lauguage will come the next day..we were devided again into 3 busses..1 only only for instruments..on the way to murcia it was all just very big fields which people were planting stuff..Then finally when we reached murcia it was already night time..We walked to our hotel which was Hotel El Churra..but then Pn.Soh said it wasnt big enough so we had to walk 200m again to reach Hotel El Churra Vistalgia..we walked to el churra 1 and had our dinner..The food there was not that good on the first day but eventually it got better..btw..all the meals we ate there were fully buffet..and the food there was mostly meat which everyone loves..haha..well when we were in murcia it was also quite cold..but not as cold as london..anyways..everyday of the festival was jammed packed with people..all came just for this festival..Well about murcia..People were all friendly..alot of members were not themselves when we were there..alot of them were so *HIGH*..so did I..haha..The building there were all vintage buildings and quite a number of stories high..Oh..The drivers there should have a pat on their back beacause they dont really care of the damage being done to their car's bumbers..and their driving skills are awesome..they follow the law and always give way to pedastrians who wanted to cross the road without the traffic lights..Their town btw was not so big but it was compact..the shops there as normal european shops..sells designer stuff and boutiques..which made a alot of people afraid to buy stuff..Ok..anyways..back to the competition though..it was really fun especially the last day..the other days were normal to them but the last day was when i think everyone had a blast..i'm still anoid that i didnt get anything from the huge pimped trucks with gifts being tossed out of them..well..i was really shocked the people loved their presents..they were like fighting just to get a toy truck..i mean..wtf =.="...well i think that was all about murcia..now lets go to madrid where bulls fight and mr.phang takes videos of them..(that was true coz they said a few parents,teachers and students went to watch while mr.phang took videos of middle-aged men holding out red cloths and cheating death..)..when we reached madrid on the way home..we stayed a night which made the whole trip 95% complete..we ate at an underground restaurant..like i said..the shops there are really compact..anyways..we ate all western food while we were there..just terrific for my liking..:Pyummy..The hotel we stayed was 'hotel excelsior'..it was almost like an inn..with 5,4 or 3 people cramped inside a room..even though it was cramped..it was quite cozy for some reason..maybe beacause of the weather at night there which was 15 degrees on average..it was like sleeping in an aircon room at my house..well anyways..the last day we had in madrid was spent on buying souveniors and eating high-quality ice-cream(which is pronounced as 'ice' for them..i guess our meaning of ice is 'solid water' for them..XD)..Oh and btw..i bought european plate numbers with my parents name on them..nice:P..alot of people bought jewelries from the shop next to the girf store too..a way to spend finish their euro's maybe..after that we fly to heathrow airport to wait half a day for our flight back to malaysia..everyone were like 'haiya'..or 'wth'..or '=.='..everyone's expression was different..for me..i was sad cause i will be leaving this cool and awesome place..well..but i knew it was going to end so why dont we made full use of the time left right?so i got up and went outside the airport and seriously took a long walk alone..thinking of the my past,present and future..it was seriouly awesome..then i bought a type of choclate milk drink..was awesome..the quality was very high..i remembered the shop name was mark and spencer..oh and i bought 2 books from MHSmith(still not done yet..lolx)..then when i was walking back to my place i saw ah yie shivering..asked him is he was ok..he said he was but i knew his high fever was acting up again..so called gali's mother come take a look..then she asked me ask Pn.soh take a look..then pn.soh asked me to take her sweater from uncle patrick(pn.soh's husband)..then after a trip to the toilet to get warm with warm water(which london people like..they seriously love their tap water HOT)..then after that he rested at the airport chairs which were green in colour..XD..then after the dreaded long wait..our flight was called and we all went into the gate..then a bus took the passengers to the aircraft(considered normal cause the airport was HUGE) and then stared flying..then after another half day plus a few hours..we reached miri with a big welcome by the school with DPTPK and DPCYL and george chan and a few vvip's..then when we went to lauguage claim..vivien's lauguage had finally being tracked and was given back to her..Well..now that the trip is 100% completed..i hope that our juniors will appreciate any performances they will be chosen either locally,nationally or nationally..This was my 1st experience going to europe and i hope that it would not be the last..finally..i'm sorry it took awhile for me to post about spain..:P..well..have a nice day..:)
