Liechtenstein

i thought it was time to blog about liechtenstein... was there on 15th august with the summer school.. so yes. it is very long ago.
it was heir national day on 15th august and so, all the roads were closed and stuff liddat. that was why we arrived at 9am in the morning. and then we sat in the hills and watched the service and ceremony. but it was merely songs to us cos we didn't understand anything in swiss german.

standing in a line, u have the royal family.
the castle that the royal family lives in.. they had free food and drinks for everybody. bread, pretzels, carlsberg, soft drinks, packet drinks..... singapore can nv do this. sure go broke one.. cos got too many pple.

i had my first beer in liechtenstein.. and as it can be seen, it was very very warm that day. my legs were burning.

I find it a,azing how Liechtenstein is so small and yet, still has a capital: Vaduz. anyway, Vaduz is like in the valley and the other towns are ard the mountains. the viez is very pretty in Vaduz. in the pic, u can see a church, with hills in the background.. by the way, Vaduz is like the size of Clementi?? i think it is smaller tho.

and these are some random pics of houses and scenery in liechtenstein.

and cos it was the state's national day, there were fireworks!!! at that time, it was still summer. so the sun set abt 8 plus 9. we had to wait till 10pm before it was totally dark and then the fireworks to be fired. it went on for half an hour to the extent that my neck was aching at the end of it. but the fireworks were very pretty...
