moving on to bath, i had a lovely time as always and I have funny tales. shall we do tales before pictures. yes we shall.

The tale of the BUSKER

so what happens is pria and i sit at our favourite area everyday for lunch/tea and nibble at the paninis or sandwiches we have (we save our tummies for dinner!) and we listen to buskers play the violin/sing/ play the guitar. so today we saw this new busker who plays the violin and at one point he suddenly stopped playing and answered his phone- pria and i took this time to wolf down our sandwiches and all of a sudden pria says 0.. 7..9..6..4.. etcetc and with a mouth full of mayonaise i give her a huh... look and she says, oh thats the busker's mobile number cause apparently he was screaming his number into his phone to the person on the line. and i got a brilliant idea.... two mins and 15 are you crazys from pria later, said busker received a text from my phone that read "awesome music dude. peace out bro!" HAHAHAHHAHAHAAHA and he rang me TWICE!!!! when my phone rang i panicked like crap and no i did not pick it up in case u were wondering. HAHAHA

intermission time.. some pictures:
me on a lion. to understand this picture, refer to the tale of the lions.
i want to wear this hat some time!!!!! somebody please get married soon and ill wear this to your wedding, THANKEW.
and also, somebody please make me your bridesmaid. THANKEW.

thats the roman baths behind us. ya we didnt go into the place. we just stood on the benches outside jumping, trying to catch a glimpse of the baths. pria and i walked into the roman baths place, saw the sign that said "11 pounds entry", turned to each other and frowned, and agreed that we would rather spend the money on a new top so we walked outside and started jumping. HAHA we're horrible tourists, i flippin' hate sightseeing!! holidays are for peace and relaxation not long queues and boredom!!

before this was taken this old dude made me guffaw in public cause he was walking hand in hand with his wife and when he saw this thing he let go off his wife's hand just nonchalantly walked up beside this thing and held its hand and asked his wife to take a picture of them HAHAHAHA i started laughing at him, being unable to control myself(as always) and when i went up to take this picture after, he yelled "excuuusssee me, you were laughing at me!!!" from across the street, which set me off again HAHAHAHAHAHA aw cute old men and their wives. warms my heart.

The tale of THE LIONS

pria and i got bored after awhile and we noticed that there were quite a few random lion statue things around the city- we were just like.. okay.. until we saw a sign that said there were a 100 lions around the city and that they were meant to be for fundraising so.... this set us off on another mission.. TO LOOK FOR AS MANY LIONS AS WE COULD. we found 16. pria has the bulk of the pictures but here are some of mine.

the lion is the king of the jungle(right..? not the tiger right?... hmm..) so im curtsying to it. geddit?? ya i know u dont and that im lame. hehe

this is me flying on the lion because its a SEA-lion! (its blue) im flying because i dont want to sink into the sea. yes i know i am very random, and i dont make sense. i know.. *nods*
this lion looks like the lion from the some cookie or biscuit brand in malaysian, does anyone know what im talking about? the red colour packet. hmm.

this is a pig. i dont know why there's a random pig but it's cute!!

The tale of the 12-BEDDED ROOM

we stayed in a youth hostel, with 6 double decker beds and pria took the lower bunk and i took the upper bunk. and it was a mixed dorm so we got all sorts of strange people staying with us. cutting a long story short, a few eventful things happened:

1) while i was taking a shower, poor pria had to listen to a long winded middle aged man(albeit a very very nice one i must say) go on about his children and divorce. pria's relief on my return was momentary though, cause i immediately climbed up into my bunk and started reading ( catcher in the rye, it is AMAZING, it provoked quite a bit of emotion in me) and for abt an hour i assumed it was just us 3 in the room, until i sneezed twice only to hear a random bless you coming from a supposedly empty corner of the room- i almost fell out of my bunk in terror and (oh speaking of terror i SO wanted to go for a ghost walk but pria is petrified of them!! i wanna go for one sometime!!!) and pria and the man stopped talking and we all looked for the source of my blessing HAHA which turned out to be a dodgy-looking french man hiding in his bunk. i gave pria the ??? look and we couldnt stop laughing about it at dinner.

2) there were 2 hot american guys bunking at one corner of the room. ya they're hot but at night the guy in the top bunk slept-talked and the even hotter guy on the bottom bunk snored the whole room awake. when we got back to the room the next day, three very annoyed people were sitting on their beds bitching. pria and i joined. if not for the earplugs the hostel placed on our beds(i reckon they get tons of snorers) i would probably have slapped the snorer and went "you think you handsome so you can snore IZZIT???" HAHAHAHA

3)lastly.. the man sleeping on the bunk next to pria's sleeps in his underwear which are like man-panties. he came in, nodded to me and smiled( i stayed up a bit later every night to read so i saw everyone come in) and then proceeded to take his pants off and get into bed. omg. i almost burst out laughing again.
