Vids!

So anyway today I went to the train station after class to check out train prices to Munich. On the way back, I walked pass this Falafel, Homous shop which had a guy, the owner, I presume standing outside doing some work.

So he looked at me and started smiling and for some reason I was waiting for him to say Assalamualaikum. And so he did after the smiling. So we answered the salam and talked to him for a bit. Then he tells us that there are actually lots of Muslims in Fribourg! How cool! And in the vicinity were not ONE but TWO mosques.

Oh did I mention that Manna and I went a-walking in search of the mosque as directed by the International Relations Office? Yeah, we did a couple of days back but we forgot the map and walked by instinct and ended up at a bus stop. We were tired so we took a bus back.

LATER, after meeting some Algerian, Zidane lookalike on the Schwarzsee trip, he told me that just across the road from where Manna and I walked was the mosque. WTHHHH!!!!!

So anyway. I love it here lah. Can I migrate here now? hehe. The only thing i'll miss is the food back in Singapore. arghh.

Oh! And another slenger moment! After living in the foyer for at least 5 days, I realised that just around the corner beside the winebar was a kebab shop selling HALAL kebap! It was heaven lah, my first taste of meat after so long.

On Monday, Manna and I went to get a beef kebab and I briefly chatted with the owner on where he gets the meat and all. Manna spoke to him in french and I spoke to him in German. How cool lah. hahaha.

Dah lah enough rambling. I'm just terharu by the vast number of muslims here.
