so... after i came back from heidelberg i was wondering where i could go during the last few days of my stay here, because i had nothing planned for the weekend after i finished my trade exam.
i was considering stuttgart and munich, but then i thought... why not be a tourist in konstanz?
and it turned out to be the perfect plan!
after my trade exam on thursday (which i dieded for), i went to find susanna (my hk friend) and her younger sister isabel, who had come to visit, in the stadt. we had coffee at the cutest cafe ever- deco was super nice, coffee was yums, less than five people around in the cafe which was awesome. in singapore every cafe is permanently crowded, even those tucked away in the corners of our heartland estates.
then we had dinner at susanna's place- risotto and salmon salad. always thankful for susanna, cos if not my nus-konstanz friends and i would be ded cos none of us can cook.
luisa was bummed out from the trade exam, so we went to have ice-cream at a place nearby. and the funniest thing happened- we were laughing loudly and for quite a while, and there was an elderly gentlemen sitting behind us with his grown-up children who offered to buy us all ice-cream because he found our laughter heartwarming.
it was such an aww moment. but we had to reject it cos all of us were super full from our ice-creams alr.
on friday after i ended classes, susanna, isabel and i went to mainau! it was the same like i remembered. cafe quite a scam imho though, but oh wells.
and then we went shopping at lago, they bought a bunch of stuff, and we met our friend luisa for dinner. had tacos at this place called california which was b0mb. it was my second time trying tacos i think? and omg they were so good. the cocktails were also amazing, but expensive. best tgif ever.
saturday, the same few of us went to the strandbad (my first time there, and regretting that i didn't go more), had a mini picnic and swam. they had this raft thingy floating in the middle of the sea and people were just diving off of it. it was rad.
strandbad was really pretty!! :(
then suhui and her bf zac joined us, and we all had dinner again at susanna's. she cooked ma po tofu with rice YUMS
we had tea and watched detective conan together cos it was storming so badly that we couldn't go home, and then the rain stopped and we walked 40min home in the cold. just like the old days
yesterday we went to wc's place for dinner, and susanna wasn't around, so we had to fend for ourselves. came up with mee goreng (with bacon LOL) and penne bolognese. wc's flatmates joined us too. (i think i will miss them; they've been so much nicer to me than my cold flatmates :( )played ball outside afterwards, and went for a walk. we ended up outside my place cos there was a party going on there. but i still had to go back to wc's because i left all my stuff there hahaha.
trudged back tgt through the super dark field and back, all of us fighting to be in front, and back again.
i'm honestly really sad to be leaving tmr. konstanz has been beautiful and peaceful, and going back to overcrowded, noisy, unfriendly sg just feels like a downer. and all the stress and competitiveness that will resume when the next semester starts... totally not looking forward to it. SO SAD.
really the only things i've missed are my rents, guitars and sg food.
oh wells, such is life.
will always be grateful for these past five months.
