minus 1 day: the traveller's greed

If you recall, an implication - among others - of getting the eurail global pass is that I have the incentive to cover more grounds. So, I reworked my itinerary and expanded the list from eight countries to 11. Finally, to those of you who have been bugging me for the destination list, here it is:

1. Austria
   
2. Belgium
3. Britain
4. Czech Republic
5. France
   
6. Germany
7. Italy
8. The Netherlands
9. Norway
10. Poland
11. Switzerland

There will be 15 stops across 11 countries. To find out the route we are taking, stay tuned!

minus 7 days: stuffed

The 12 days of packing...

12 tops and dresses, lots of pinks, floral and bright colours!
11 pieces of under garments, packed the smallest ones I could find
10 bottles of bubblies to fill my toiletry pouch
9 accessories, cannot do without my necklaces, bangles and ear rings
8 bandaids to take care of the blisters from excessive walking
7 cosmetic items so I can be picture-perfect all the time
6 party dresses to check out the major clubs every weekend
5 currencies, SGD, GBP, EUR, NKR, and CHF
4 pairs of footwear, something for every occasion - boots, sandals, flat shoes and heels
3 scarves to match different looks
2 hats - my favourite Riverlife cap and grey hat from Shanghai
1 whistle, to call for help if anything goes wrong *fingers crossed*

There is so much to carry! Fortunately, Jenn Yang lent me his 70 litres backpack. Only complaint is that it's green. But I'm sure I can get some pink ribbons on it.

minus 60 days: my not-to-do list

I love lists. I now have lists of places to go, stuff to see, friends to meet and many more. While these lists will be released in good time (patience people!), here is one to keep you busy for now.

Over freshly cut haystack fries with parmesan and rosemary, and (too many) plates of all-day-breakfast at Overeasy, my girlies laid down some ground rules to make sure I behave:

• Don't have too much fun until you don't want to come back.
• Don't flirt excessively.
• Don't go out alone after 11pm.
• Don't come back married, pregnant, or a lesbian.
• Don't turn down a horse shit ball.
• Don't get (too) wasted.
• Don't trust anyone.
• Don't stop talking to God and reading the bible.
• Don't pretend to be busy with your iphone when you are just shy.
• Don't forget to buy presents for your girlies.

Do not be fooled by their smiles. I do not want to imagine what they will do to me should I not obey any of the ten commandments above. Cross those fingers for me, won't you?

Can you think of any other 'not-to-do's?
