ski day!

11th March 2007 (day 2)

the next day, we woke up as early as 4am to catch the bus to france for our ski trip. BUT. we missed the bus because we were late. so how? we couldn't take 'no skiing' for an answer cuz we already carried the f**king skiis so far and we're gg home the next day. SO, yep we decided to explore the snow mountain in torino by ourselves instead! another adventure~ !

the train passed by many beautiful, majestic mountains and peaceful villages...

we were hungry when we arrived. so we had brunch at one of the cosy restaurants in the village town. there were cheese-filled burgers and power coffee with chocolate. what's it called again? macchiato??ah. classic photo of the day: sixiu, the ski rack! we conveniently followed yian's example on leaning the skis on sixiu. haha...

and we're set to ski! (finally. after getting our student card, ski pass and putting on our boots.)

at this time of the year, the snow is actually melting already... we were REALLY LUCKY to still be able to ski. anw, the skiing place is full of pro kids who look as young as 5 years old! they ski down the steep slopes like nobody's business lor...

us in action! if you ever go to europe during winter, you die die also must try skiing!!!!!!!!!!! it's so cool! feel the wind in your face and the adrenaline rush as you ski down the slope. then when you fall, it's not painful at all! cuz all the snow cushions you. super super super 赞! anw, check it out. we even came up with innovative use of skis! just sit and slide. got more control like that. ha!

of course, we didn't forget to take a break from all that skiing so that we can take happy photos :) (see our snow man there? looks quite big but actually hor... is only like a palm's height...)

had a great time there! this is the man at the ski lift. my card was faulty and he gave me a new card. but dunno why still cannot. he was very kind to keep opening the gate for me. i give him thumbs up! last bus? ok hurry hurry! (even if it means packing right in front of the shop with people walking by...)waiting at the bus stop... look at sixiu ah... hands stained green cuz of lak sek gloves...

and, back at the station, we waited for the train back to torino... totally shagged out man.

that night, we quickly cooked and ate pasta b4 gg to bed. really buay dong liao...
....but it was fun :)
