alright and then we moved on to greece athens! which was quite a disappointment. everything there seems so backwards! houses looked a little like slums and the cultural heritage isnt strong as most of the ruins are really ruined! but well, the highlight of greece was actually santorini and there'll be loads of photos on santorini! we took a morning ferry to santorini island which was called thira in short! and then rented this cute little vehicle called an ATV to drive around the island.

ant and i were the 2 drivers and it has really been a while since i last drove in sg. luckily, this's an easy vehicle and yes it's my first time driving up mountains! those winding roads are really daunting as i was unable to see any approaching vehicles! hahah but it was really cool driving up though many vehicles kept overtaking me as the slow ATV could only go up to a max of 50km/h on flat road and 20km/h up mountains. and we caught 2 sunsets in santorini which was really beautiful though i hate to wait for it to set cos i'm not a really patient person! there was this dinner we had on the rooftop, overseeing the sea, mountains and sunset, really really cool dinner! and it feels so relaxing, really. have nv had such nice dinner be4. and yes i had wine or beer almost every meal cos kyodai wants to drink~ haha and i think it's more fun to have ppl accompany u drink! ok so for more pictures!
