[Malmo]

Malmo [9th Feb, 16th April]

went to Malmo on 9th feb for a shopping trip! :D

Photobucket

only went with gh, no one else was free
all had lessons!

anyway, the main point of going to malmo was to check out the ZARA SALE
wah, totally crazy, so cheap la! :D
i bought like 2 jeans for myself and some tops, and then the rest is all souvenirs for others
and only buy for gals, cos the guys totally have NO SALE!


and it's quite troublesome to try clothes when u're wearing winter wear
have to take out winter coat, long sleeves, etc
troublesome!!


after that, we walked around somemore
and went to the Asian Supermarket
and the things there are super expensive!
it's like do-do fishballs are sgd7 for like one tiny packet



on 16th april, we headed to malmo again to ikea!
and we decided to be adventurous!

we cycled from lund to malmo ikea
which according to google maps is about 16.7km
but i think we cycled way more than that, cos of the bloody wind

who ask us nothing better to do, end up go rent a bike and cycle


we left house at about 10+
feeling pretty excited about cycling
walked to the bicycle rental shop at the train station
and got the bikes for 20kr per person for a day


and omg, i found it so hard to cycle!
i'm like so use to kicking off on the right pedal, but i can't kick up the right pedal for the bike leh! omg!
even the bikes are "left hand drive"
ugh, i took awhile to kinda get used to it
basically, i wheeled the bike until the right pedal is upwards then i cycle off
so tedious right, haiz, sux man :(

the open areas are like insanely windy
omg, i dunno how other pple do it man!

i spent like half my time cycling and half my time wheeling the bike
because sometimes wind was really TOO STRONG!

and finally after 2+hrs, we reached our destination!!! :D


and we finally bought our weighing scale there!
that was the main aim of going all the way there, and it was super not worth it
even though it costs 39kr
cos the one at Tiger cost 100kr, but it's electronic la


then subsequently, we decided to cycle back to malmo central
though we kinda pushed our bikes nearing the central
which was a GOOD THING!
because there was a junction where there were MANY MANY MANY pple getting booked by police for cycling on the pavement!
stupid locals!

yeah, and we finally made it to the train station, can came back to lund
and returned the stupid bicycle



Conclusion:
take a TRAIN to malmo, or a bus, dun bother cycling, it is too tedious
good place for shopping, pretty big city, worth a walk around
but of course, i'll never go back there again
