Can anyone remind me how is it February already?
This is a trip I went with my brother in December, it's not even a travel log, and there aren't any itineraries here, just pictures taken from the trip.
We flew from London and first off to Cologne, and then took the bus to Brussels and then Amsterdam and flew back to London from there.
Christmas in London
I have been anticipating going to this street since forever!
Christmas light is love love love.
And then to Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park, we were too timid to try any thrilling ride. #timidsiblings
Cologne, Germany
(24/12-27/12, nope, don't ever stay more than 2 days in Cologne)
Brussels, Belgium (27/12-29/12)
My favourite city in these 3, it's slightly more pricey but the people and the streets, the plaza, the christmas lights, the waffle... alright, I love everything in Brussels.
Amsterdam, Netherland (29/12-31/12)
Last stop, and we are pretty mentally and physically exhausted by now. We didn't even planned anything we just walked everywhere without even looking at the map.
Amsterdam is about canals after canals, a lot of unoccupied bicycles everywhere, colourful Dutch building and coffee shop (which I didn't get to try).
It's my first time going on a trip with my brother alone, anddddd it wasn't easy. We are constantly getting on each other's nerve. Don't misunderstand, we are actually very close as siblings. But also very temperamental when we are with each other (or is it just me?). We take things to the very extreme both in our similarities and differences. It's either sharing the exact same views/traits or standing at the extreme opposite to each other. And this makes it difficult for us to stay close to each other physically for too long. The reason of this might be one of the similarites we share, need of massive amount of personal space as an individual. We used to live in the same apartment when we left home and stay on our own. We can go by days without talking to each other but we can talk about deep shit whenever we want to. We are totally fine with the way it is.
And now that we are both in UK, and 2.5 hours journey away, we still don't see each other if there isn't a need to. When I meant need, it's just me staying over at his place cause my flight is departing from London. I thought it was normal until now. I don't think there is a second person in my family that I or my brother can share a roof with while accommodating this inconsistent interaction. So this might actually be our very own way of getting along with each other.
I kinda wanna apologised for my bad temper sometimes throughout the trip but also at the same time I've also endured an equal amount of shit from him. So I guess it's a draw.
And let's skip the photography part ok.
But still, it was nice, we should go again but somewhere more interesting. So we can have more time exploring instead of dealing with each other's shit. Tbh we weren't really keen to visit these places, we just booked the cheapest flight we can find and start from there. To sum it up: Cologne was too boring, Amsterdam was too commercialised, luckily Brussels made up for the trip.
Somehow this post ends up talking about me and my brother because this trip and blog got me reflecting a lot on it. So there it is, a brief post about our very first siblings trip and the temperamental Koh Siblings.
