Home once More
YAY! We all went back to St Gallen on 27th dec. After drifting out of St Gallen for about 8 days, finally can go HOME. Yes it's where I will call my Home. The feeling of being is simply indescribable. It's a sense of familiarity which I haven felt so intense all my life. It's the feeling of being home I would say. Unknowingly, I guess this easter city of Switzerland has landed itself an irreplaceable place in my heart.
The Serene St Gallen
Back to my HomeCity once more~
We had a cup of Starbucks when we reached. It's my 1st and last Starbucks in Switz. Yea felt so like guide showing mum and sis St Gallen. Then we took Bus 2 towards my house. 
Here it is - The striking yellow house.
Checking the Mailbox the last time~
My antique Keys - My last time opening the door
Brought mum and sis to the underground dungeon. Haha.
Settled down at home awhile. JH was still sleeping den she came over to say hi. I then brought mum and sis to walk around St Gallen. 
I will miss the snow and the walk up to class~
Wanted to try Nespresso after that but realized it's not the kind of coffee we wanted so decided to drop the idea.
Then we went to Martplatz and went to Merkur to see the chocs. Saw this cute Piggy~
Outside Merkur~
Streets of St Gallen~
Then we stopped over at Chocoholic to have some hot chocolate. It's my 1st time drinking there and it was great! 
After drinking, we went Migros the supermarket as they were so inquisitive about Migros. I tink the St Gallen Migros is the largest one I have been to so far.
It was a foggy day!
Went home again around late afternoon as I gotta pack my room and luggage. Yee Tien, Ling and Jump were back from Belgium. Their adventure on the trip really kept me entertained(no offense intended). I can only say its really a series of Unfortunate events for them which can be made into a movie. Then. We all had to go Migros again to clear all our plastic and glass bottles and rubbish since we r such law abiding citizens. 
There were 14 people altogether. Me, mum and sis, JH and her 3 friends, WQ and her mu mand sis, YT and his sis, Ling and Jump. And even our Sporean neighbour Yvonne came over briefly to say gdbye. Even gave all of us this Swiss way of hugging. I was shocked for some moments. LoL. 
Memories of Yesterday~
Xmas Day was spent in St Moritz, about 3 hrs plus train ride from Zurich, in the south-eastern part of Switzerland. It is a very scenic city, famous for its Ski Resorts, which is what we were there for. Haha.
St Moritz
On the Mini Train up to the Ski mountains
As expected, it was crowded as I guess it's a perfect way to spend Xmas Skiing.
The Scenic Ski Mountains
I feel so excited to see the snow again, though I really hate the bulky cumbersome snow boots. 
Skiing is damn hard. Really wonder how those Swiss glide down so gracefully and effortlessly. Sigh.
We went down the mountain ard 3 plus and managed to catch the sunset. And the most awesome sight was seeing the whole frozen Lake St Moritz. And there were so many people walking on the Icy lake. Mum was so terrified that the Ice will break and she will sink beneath. *Roll eyes* I even threatened to jump on the ice, but never la. Hhaaa.
Boxing Day
We went to the most Western part of Switzerland, Lausanne and Geneva, which are very near France. My 1st time to these 2 cities, as they are quite far from St Gallen. There was nothing interesting in these 2 cities, and I feel out of place there somehow.
Lausanne~
We only had less than 1 hr in Geneva.
My Fav chips in Switz! Damn nice~ Anw we went from Geneva to Bern for dinner. It was pitch dark in Bern when we were there, so we couldn't see much as well.
On the way back to Zurich from Bern. I was just feeling bored and getting creative with my banana at hand. LoL~
A different X'mas experience altogether~
Okay currently back in St Gallen home awhile and we will have our last dinner here together later. Feelsss soooo Goottt to be home here in St Gallen, I can't contain my excitement to be back here! The sense of familiarity is so intense.
Alright back to the Italy trip I had few days ago wif Mum and sis, we 1st went to Florence for a night, and bascially walked and explored the city area as the sky was turing dark very soon.
Our 3 star Hotel - Like its artsy name, Hotel Leonardo Da Vinci
Famous Duomo in Firenze
Along the Streets of Firenze
The famous River and oldest bridge in Firenze
AND. Next day morning we were off to the one of the world's most treasured and beautiful city, Venice. The city of Water. Though it's my 2nd time here, it doesn't feel any less interesting. My excitement level was well-maintained. 
Sights in Venice
The mesmerising Venezia Sunset
Closer to nightfall~
The famous Piazza San Marco
Day 2 - Revisiting the sights
I managed to visit Murano this time, this offshore island near Venice famous for its glass products.
Gondola Services in Venezia
Day 3 we were off to Milano! 
The GYM was awesome! Each treadmill has personal monitor for guests to enjoy the TV channels while jogging, with earphones.
The Galleria in Milan, which houses famous names
At Leonardo Da Vinci Statue
Outside this castle-like Museum
The top right pic is not a Hotel lobby. It's the entrance of ZARA! Probably the most impressive looking Zara boutique I have ever entered. 
In the changing room~ LOL.
Oh as it was 23rd Dec, Santa was walking along the streets giving gifts. And we have to grab him for pics of cos. Oh Santa insisted to take a pic wif Mum. 
Nearing nightfall~
The night lights in the City was awesome, coupled with the Xmas Celebration in the air~ Stupendo~
Bustling Night Streets
Didn't really shop alot in Milan as the things r tooo exxxx. Probably will do so when Im much richer in future =(
Okay thats all for Italy trip, quite a pleasant experience but I definitely still prefer Switz over Italy anytime~
