diamond, i guess if u dun go for anyting extravagant should be fine..my package and air tix is abt S$8k+++ then we spent another S$6k on expenses where most of it goes to my shopping..hehe. I wanted to go Barcelona badly but too bad our package din cover it. As for cuckoo clocks, we went to this place called St. Goar where they sell handmade ones but it doesn't really interests me..Contiki do give us free time during the tour..like one full day in rome where we're given day pass for all the public transport and maps, so we're free to roam around and return to the hotel as and when we like. Its quite exciting to travel by yourselves there.
brightstar, hehe..me and hubby fall sick during the last few days too..too exhausted i guess. but thankfully its already towards end of the tour, so we had more time to rest.
318, the price for covering so many places is you only get to touch and go lo..so din have enough time to really experience each place. But I guess it gives us a good idea of where we wan to go back next time.
same like the rest of you, we are quite broke after everything also...hehe..now have to slog and slog and slog. however, i guess if u do not do much shopping in europe, S$2-3k just for food n normal expenses should be enough for 2 person.

318, i only brought along my normal face moisturiser..dun need any special type la. but impt to bring along a moisturiser for lips or lip balm cos you don't want to end up having sausage mouth there. that's wat happened to my hubby when we're in europe and its very painful..
i tried this but not sure if it works for everyone, when it gets too cold, portruding parts of your face like the nose will get frostbite which causes that part to be numb and very painful when you touch it...so I applied some of the lip balm to the tip of my nose where it hurts..after a while, it'll be less painful. And also use a scarf to cover your nose if it gets too cold. this will prevent frostbite.
juz curious...anyone here had babies "made in xxx?" during honeymoon? Hehe...

318, u are going USA in feb right? pls bring your winter clothing. dont assume that it will not be cold. weather these days are weird.. trust me.. i was in paris & hamsburg in early march in 2005, it was snowing!! the weather was so bad that many flights were cancelled including our internal flight from paris & hamsburg was cancelled. we hv to do a last min check-in at the airport hotel in paris to wait for the next earliest flight to get out!
during my USA & canada trip 5 yrs ago, weather was so freaking cold in sept! when we left montreal in early oct, it was snowing!
so pls bring your winter clothing. it is better to be well prepared than to be sorry... and having to shop around for winter clothes last min.
tingting, i expected that u will spend a bomb in europe.. esp when EURO is freaking ex now. my couple friends went there for HM for 1 month 4 yrs ago.. all in all, they already spent $20k+ for 4 weeks there, also by contiki. well, it was equivalent to their joint income of 2 mths! wat an extravagance.. hehehe

when i went to seoul, i find that the winter jackets i bught here is not enuff le..and in winter countries, the coats are half the price and more avriety
brightstar, u did not get the right winter jackets here then. different jackets are for different temperature range. also if u are going up to ski mountain, u need ski jackets specifically. well, seoul is not that ex when it comes to such things. but things maybe different when in countries like japan, europe, etc.

318, the coldest i experience is -6..but thats on top of the mountain in switzerland and its having snowstorm. you going Lasvegas for HM? I went there few years back..quite a nice place to be especially if its not too hot now. During summer, it can be quite hot in the afternoons since that is a desert place. hope u have fun there..checkout the indoor venice lookalike place..forgot its name. but r u visiting other places in USA besides Lasvegas? cos it can get quite boring after a few days.
if u guys watched the news yesterday, europe is having a very strong snowstorm...scary...glad that we live in a sunny island afterall.
diamond, i tink EUROS dropped a bit right? I wanted to change back my leftover EUROS..but was sad to find out I'll lose a few hundred bucks due to the low current rate now. So now hoping that the rates will rise soon. we budgeted 20K for the entire trip initially but din spend all..cut short my trip from 24 days to 16 days too...so we saved quite a bit from there. i am glad we did that, if not now will see $0.00 or even negative in our bank account le. Hehe..

brightstar, if we are going up to the ski mountain, we defintely need to rent their ski jacket to keep warm. i was in thick ski jacket at Bob's peak in Queenstown, NZ then too.. & we built a snowman at 3/4 my height!! too bad i cannot load the pic here for u to see....
tingting, just curious, how long wld it take u & hubby to save $20k? if say 1 yr, it will means close to $2k savings /mth

to diamond-3/4 of ur height..wow..what a big snowman..!!! i have built one about 10cm tall..hehe
$2K to reach $20K..wow..that is not using any money for living expenses...the salary should be higher than 2K....justa guess...
to waiwai....not very sure..tot europe in june is hot?

to waiwai....not very sure..tot europe in june is hot?
waiwai, u dun hv to bring winter clothing (eg thermal wear, socks, gloves, etc) to europe in June. it shld be summer there. but it is still advisable to bring a jacket just incase... and bring sensible clothing... eg, no spaghetti tops
a friend of mine went NZ during end nov/early dec. it was supposed to be early summer.. she vain pot, so brought along spaghetti tops and skirts.. she said it was cold! but too bad, she just hv to bear with it..
my HB went hangzhou last wk in oct for work. i told him to bring a thicker jacket there just in case though it was only autumn there. he did not wan to listen to me & said it will not be cold at all. guess wat, the wind was so strong that he said it was freezing. & he came back sick!
yes, u made the right decision to wear boots in hokkaido. in fact, i always wear my boots when i am on holiday.. unless i am going to temperature countries like Bangkok. then i will skip that. my boots are reserved for my holidays & i dun buy them here either. too ex in spore. i get my leather clark boots in London at S$50 on sale. and i have another pair of treaking waterproof boots.. they not only keep away the cold, they also prevent our feet from getting wet. i will always bring an extra pair along to alternate. this will prevent the feet from aching too much from too much walking
brighstar, we used a sledge to dig up the snow from the ground. bare hands cannot build such a big snowman at all. it was so tough until we were all sweating with snows falling on us... then we decorate the snowman with sunglasses, scarf, etc.. it was so fun!

brightstar, its part of the package ma..cos we travel by coach, so they try to pack as many places in as possible.
diamond, wow..such a big snowman..no wonder you're sweating in the snow..hehe. we only managed to build a 50cm tall one and doesn't really look like snowman. savings wise..we din really save much la..cos got some sponsor from FIL on the banquet..so we used the ang pow $$ plus some savings to pay for the honeymoon.
Waiwai, you can always checkout the weather forecast for europe nearer to the date..the weather there should be plus/minus 1-2 degree from the forecast.

waiwai - im sure next time u can make a snowman...
waiwai - im sure next time u can make a snowman...
318, the snowman was made in Bob's peak at Queenstown, NZ. surprisingly, it is not as cold when the ground are covered with snow & it is snowing... trust me, if i can lie on the ground covered with snow, it is not that bad.
John Little at Specialist Centre has some value for money jacket. Can get a praka one for abt $50-$60. When you are in LasVegas & u hv the opportunity to go factory outlets, u may see some nice trenchcoat. can buy that too. i hv a couple of trench coats bought from overseas. they come in handy for work purposes or for leisure. can get it cheaper overseas & nicer design somemore.
tingting & waiwai, i hv seen snow many times, but only at queenstown, NZ i had the opportunity & time to build a snowman.. well, i traded off the opportunity to take up ski lessons to spending all the time building snowman with my friends.
snow in hokkaido was like fine powder was still not that bad.. i hv encountered snowflakes that melt into water the moment it fell onto me... that is really cold.. snowflakes that we can brush off from our clothes are not that bad
my HB has not seen snow yet in all his life.. and they are other things which he has yet to experience... eg, we hv always seen pigeons/doves crowding around a person... and in a flick second, all of them fly off... i enjoyed that moment very much.. and i experienced that in italy.. tingting, did u experience that?
also, these days we can see street performers who painted themselves in gold/silver colour & stood there motionless & expressionless in orchard.. i first saw such street performers more than 10 yrs ago in europe, way before they even make their appearance in spore...
well, there are many other things... which i had experienced & i hope i can experience it one day AGAIN with my HB... in our recent HM, HB got to go disneyland!! the ambience was nice & he likes it, esp at night when the fireworks went off in the sky and the place brightly lit up.. he told me.. it seemed to be Xmas already to him... i am glad he likes that... the disneyland was planned for him.. coz i am not into that anymore.. esp when i hv already been to eurodisney in paris and spent a couple of days in disneyworld, Orlando, USA, which is the biggest disney themepark in the world..
i hope to be able to plan a trip where HB can see snow... maybe this coming Xmas, so that he can spend a white xmas in somewhere which is snowing & has a strong catholic presence.. the ambience is not only holy but memorable...

never been to any disneyland...sobx...prob will go there when i have kids next time.
318, hope u enjoy ya trip to lasvegas! Share your pics when u come back. the last time i was there, my camera spoilt (the lousy film type), so i only had two photos of myself there.
