there's a lot of stuff coz a friend left early and leftbehind lots food and other misc stuff

my fridge-cum-nightstand haha, and suitcase
my desk! after the Hungarian stash photoshoot

windowsill! had grand plans for my windowsill haha, okay the pot of marmalade filled with tealeaves at least

the other side of the mirror
and one last erm celebration of 365 stuff.. this ginormous tube of toothpaste cost 50cents haha

and as a bonus, what's under my ginormously-wide sink, besides my shoes, my big box of 365 washing powder, and the box behind that holds my cooking and storing-food stuff

--yep.

me and my jars

a torrid 6-month affair.. resulting in:

2 jars of beans (plus many smaller cans)

4 bottles of chilli sauce

3 peanut butter

hehh and 4 jars of coffee, plus countless smaller packets of instant coffee mixes.. the small jar in front is my trusty sugar pot, and the brown sugar by the side is what they use to make Speculoos!

3 jars of marmalade.. odd coz i never used to be a marmalade person

2plus bottles of Speculoos, a Belgian/Dutch thing

2 Sangria, one red wine

3 bottles of Delhaize jam stuff, on the left is apple cinnamon, the right fig, and one more that got mouldy was orange-lime-pampelmouse (grapefruit)
chocolate liquer from Antwerp, apricot brandy from Budapest, and some coffee milk thing

this is what it comes down to

my stuff accumulated over the travels.. mostly tickets

Italy was the first big one, after my Valentine's weekend trip in Feb: Milan-Florence (+Pisa)-Rome-Venice,

March 2009
then was Easter Break.. first a stop in London, with a drive thattook us to Cardiff, Wales, and then to Sweden (Uppsala and Stockholm) and Norway (Oslo and Bergen), early April
and then Amsterdam for Queen's Day, April 30.. going into early May

and then Eastern Europe: Bratislava (in Slovakia), Vienna (in Austria), Prague (in Czech Republic) and going back to Bratislava again, end May 2009

which was very quickly followed by a 3-day trip to Paris, June 2009

ending off with Budapest, Hungary, in July

.. and that's it --.
