AMSTERDAM & HAARLEM
31/07 till 3/08
We took the taxi to the Pau's airport.Siapa sangka airport kat pau ni cantik =p.Our flight delayed 3 jam,rasenye da kenal setiap penumpang kat situ hehe.First time naik Transavia,kitorg pegi pon tanpa membawa sebarang bekalan bahasa,good bye dlm dutch pon ta taw hehe
Bref,to my surprise,our hostel is located in red light district! it's a christian hostel though (separate boys n girls) .Dont worry ladies and gentlemen,we didnt do "anything".I like this hostel,free breakfast,clean toilet,friendly staffs etc. The only incovenient (for me, we book separate dorm ) is the noise outside my dorm.It comes from the next door.
The next day,we started visiting the amazing amsterdam.It's walkable city (well for us).We bought the ticket just to go to the mosque.Places that we visited were ;
Oude kerk
Koninklijk Paleis
Amstrdm Historich M.
Begijnhof
Waterlooplein
Golden Bend
Cat Museum
Grachtengordel
Rijksmuseum
Van Gogh Museum
Stedelijk
Red Light District
Amsterdam is surrounded by canals.It was soo romantic lunch by the canal,kan Fan? especially the last day,when the birds and the swans tried to steal our foods hahaha We visited both mosque,Fatih mosque and El Tawheed Mosque (famous bcos of the tragedy of theo van gogh).Fatih mosque is sooo amazing.It was a church n it's so calm when u enter in the salle de prier.No wonder we spent 2 +/- hours in the mosque on the last day (it was raining).
In Amsterdam,there r many indonesians,no wonder sometimes ppl confused with us.The funny part is when the "girls" in red light district spoke malay with us hehe.There is an indonesian stall ( mcm take away wok ),melepas gak kerinduan untuk makan petai akhirnya =).Jgn memain,kedai ni jual babi masak kicap hahaha
We jalan² around amsterdam malam² and lepak² on the main street sambil makan holland fries.Duduk depan restoran yg ntah pape sambil tgk perangai org dan mengambil iktibar atas ape yg berlaku =p
The next day,we went to Haarlem.It's a beautiful city indeed. I like it =)
And the last day,we just walked around amsterdam,visited anna frank house + slept at the mosque hehe before fly to copenhagen
I AMSTERDAM!

COPENHAGEN + HELSINGOR
3/08 till 6/08
We arrived at Copenhagen a lil bit late,the flight was delayed AGAIN! My first impression when i was there is "inike copenhagen,KL lagi best" hahhaha the road was so silence.luckily the hostel is not too far.We saw KEBABISH along the way,but it was a lil bit expensive,110 kroner etc .(jakun tgk kedai halal hahha ).Then we arrived at CITY PUBLIC HOSTEL yeay! i was like "ini cam skolah asrama hari weekend je". The hostels was not for old people really,u hav to rent everything! from pillow to blanket.The dorm,the beds r like from world war 2,it made so much noise! no windows,so hot eventhough outside was like in winter.First night was hell,i was mistakenly went to men bathroom hahah nasib baik tak masuk.The worst part is the bathroom,we really dont know how to shower! we have to wait,bile tak de org baru mandi,malu! hahhaha but 3 days there,i managed to shower without have to do like every1 else,it's a good hostel though,to meet people,nice cuisine n nice park.Thanks to the pakcik for changing me to the same room with fan =)
We walked around Copenhagen on 4/08,followed the map like a real tourist hahaha the weather was bad,grey cloud from morning to forever! It was damn cold! well we visited ;
Tivoli Garden
Christian Borg Palace
Borsen
Amalienborg
Stroget
Nyhavn
Rosenborg Slot
Statens Museum
Kastellet & Frihed
Little Mermaid
and many more on the map
=p
one thing bout copenhagen is,it's soooo expensive,it's difficult to find a cheap place to eat.We save the money so that we can eat briyani at KEBABISH hahah and we ate it the last day at last! before we went to little mermaid,we met a group of indonesians working in a ship (Fan was really happy hahaha) At night,we looked for the mosque,but we didnt found it,it was raining heavily,dugaan Allah =) but we went to mosque the next day,now we can see org perempuan bertudung easily =)
The next day,we went to Helsingor,it was still raining.The hamlet's castle is really nice,but the rest of the city is not interesting at all heheh but we can get a kebab at 2.60 euros only! hahaha
The last day,we walked along the longest shopping road in copenhagen.Funny when yasmin said they didnt find the souvenir shop when there r lot of them
voila our travel to denmark

BERLIN
6/08 till 8/08
At Berlin,we did a crazy thing,we chose to stay at different hostel ( I chose =p ) . I was bit scared to do this,but every time i said it to Fan,she will try to convince me not to worry ( soo sweet wakaka) . Well,I stayed at hostel die etage,it was a very clean,superb hostel! the staffs were very helpful,they showed me everything i needed,just like in tourism office,not like the other hostels we stayed,Lucy ( the staff) was so friendly,( even cleaned my spoon =p).untuk pertama kali,i talked with other people in the hostel, i met 2 danish,an american and a guy from Chile who just quit his job to travel around the world ( he's going to Malaysia!).I gave 4 and half stars to this hostel n highly recommended!
We start our "tourist² stuff" on 7th August,the places that we visited were ;
Zoo Garten
Keiser
Bradenburg Gate
Reichstag
Unter Den Linden
Altes Museum
Pergamonmuseum
Berliner Dom
Fernsehturm
Nikolaiviertel
Berlin Wall
I love berlin more than copenhagen honestly,but this was the place where i lost my handphone! but Allah menguji aku,dan aku terima ini sebagai ujian =) ,the funny part ( for me) was when Fan was worried more than i was hehehe . After awhile,she got a call,it was not a call that can bring smiles to us back.To cheer us back, we ate our lunch at Nordsee, tak fikir nak simpan duit masa tu hehe (takde la mahal pon),plus it was damn hot!
Berlin wall is nice,we walked 2km to watch all the graffiti and u wont feel tired walking,believe me!
The next day,we just walked around kurfurstendamm,watched buskers,bought a bag! opps 2 bags for Fan,then we went to the airport,but again our flight is delayed
Nevertheless,we met a very nice girl in the flight.She helped us soo much =)

Oh the moon has come, the day is done,
the night has covered up the sun,
I have stood so often before you to pray,
but I wonder Allah, tell me, what did I do today?
Did I remember the words of Al-Fatihah?
Did I take time to thank you for all that I have?
Did I call on you to guide my way?
Tell me what did I do today?
I have whispered to you
Subhana Rabey'yal Adheem.
But was my faith bright or grey?
Oh Allah, tell me, what did I do today?
Did I smile at my neighbour?
Was I kind to my friends?
Did I teach another something I know?
Or did my love of this world lead me astray?
Tell me what did I do today?
Sami Allah hu liman hamida
Rabbana Lakal Hamd.
Sami Allah hu liman hamida
Rabbana Lakal Hamd.
Though I've bowed to you with my face in the dust,
Subhana Raby'yal a`la.
The blessings you give I could never repay.
Oh Allah, tell me, what did I do today?
Did I use my time?
Did I use my mind?If I search my heart what will I find?
The light of your guidance is a glimmering ray,
Tell me, what did I do today?
Oh Allah, Tell me what did I do today?
p/s: hurm,i did make the whole building blackout,now i cant cook bcos my dapur cant b switch on,if i do,no electricity the whole night,kesian penduduk lain (bukan aku sorg je ke tinggal haha) =p
