The trip to Italy was one hell of a trip, we basically threw our initial plans out of the window and followed wherever there was a place to stay. But the highlight of the trip was staying at Sandra's place in Sicily and spending christmas with the rest of the Castellano family. Shall elaborate more next time, perhaps with some pics and all.
But right now, just wanna drop a line to my family and friends from Paris..that im alright and have a wonderful New Year guys. Buon Anno Nuova! (in italian)
Party In Sabinki
It's supposed to be the exam period, but there seemed to be more social events going on than ever. Today we had a farewell party for Rajah and Mikael in Sabinki. It was awesome. Best party in Sabinki ever. Some of us cooked a little something...we had stuff like chicken curry by Rajah, apple and banana pancakes by Mikael from Denmark, stir-fried vegetables from team Singapore, rice cooked by Bibi from Slovakia, Salad from im not sure who and scrambled eggs by John from Belgium, and a very sticky chewy tiramisu by Sandra from Italy. Alcohol-wise, there was red wine, Slovak wine, hungarian Tokai, and of course, the polish vodka -Zubrowka!
It was really mad as we were singing endless songs from Mikael's laptop which had a cool karaoke program.

Absinthe
There was a party at Silvia's place. I told her since i was still sick, i would only drink juice, but she insisted drinking alcohol kills off the germs, and that was why her dad was hardly ill.
At 70% alcohol content, Absinthe was the drink of the party, and the highlight was learning to drink it.
Step 1: Pour Absinthe into a shot glass
Step 2: Soak a sugar cube in Absinthe, then light it
Step 3: When flame burns out, stir the sugar in
Step 4: Set the drink on fire, cover your palm over it, flip upside down and shake
Step 5: Down it at one go if you're game, or dilute and drink

Towards the end, we spent almost an hour debating on Kanapka (damn nice sandwich that you can find at food stands along streets in Poland) The question was if you had a sandwich, half of which was better than the other, which would you eat first. Most of us agreed we would save the best for the last, but Monica was adamant that it is more logical to eat the best one first. Assumptions were drawn, graphs even! It was ridiculous but super hilarious.
I love Class 95.

Skansen, an open air museum. Here we got to see glass blowers and old traditional swedish cottages. We also tried folk dancing and sampled free food from the christmas market.
