Today, I woke up at 8a.m. because of my cold room. -.- Well then, i took my time to get myself ready for the breakfast at 10a.m. lol. ^.^ At 12p.m, we met up with the rest at the waiting area and off we went to town centre of Troyes. We went to a pancake restaurant for lunch! We 3 had "Royale" as our main dish and shared a banana chocolat crepes! The chocolat was super yummy!!! ^^ In all, we took 1.5hrs to finish our food! It's super filling!!! At 1.30 p.m, we had a guided tour around the town with Sarah. We visited 4 churches - St Remy, St Melanine, St Pierre, St XXX(can't rmb). St Pierre was the interesting one, as it has only one tower due to the lack of money. lol. During the walk, we also chanced upon a pony that was surrounded by a lot of chicken. The smell of dung was super strong!!! At 4.30pm, we went to the museum of tools that has one of the biggest collection of old tools in Europe. The guide told us this story of a devil wanting a horseshoe from the blacksmith.

The story goes like this:

Once upon a time, there lived a devil in hell. He went to Earth one day and he saw a blacksmith making horseshoe for his horses. He fell for the horseshoe and wanted one for himself. He quickly made his devil's horn disappeared, his beard and sulfur smell removed, and got himself dressed neatly. He went over to the blacksmith and asked sofly," Sir, can you help me made horseshoe like what u did for your horses?" At one glance, the blacksmith knew he was a devil. He agreed and started working horseshoe on him. Each time the blacksmith nailed in the horseshoe, the poor devil screamed painfully. As years passed by, the blacksmith will hit on the anvil twice to serve as a warning to all devils, not to ever come for horseshoe making. If not, they will experience what the first devil experienced!

It's interesting, isn't it? lol. We then had a tour around the museum which looked really small from outside, but actually it was big! There were lots of different types of tools. I felt as if I am doing D&T lo! It's a pity that the museum didn't allow photo taking. )= After the tour, we went walking round and round the town center again. lol. We passed by some of the shops twice or more!!!! -.- At last, we were given half an hour of free time. Hurray!!! Time to rest my worn-out legs. Gin Jin, Jing wei and I tried a lemon sherbet ice cream by mistake. We wanted peppermint actually, but the lady gave us that instead. It was good. Brr... Cold eating ice cream in such cooling weather. lol. At 7p.m, Professors from UTT arrived and we proceeded to a pub to have our dinner!!! It was a 3 course meal. It started with a entree, saumon grillé sce citron (salmon with butter and lemon sauce) that I chose for my main, and profiteroles au chocolat (Choux pastry with vanilla ice-cream and chocolate sauce that I chose for my dessert. The salmon was okay, but the sauce was not to my liking. The dessert was great!!! especially the chocolat sauce they used!!! The meal comes with a mixed wine, red and white wine. the red and white wine were supposed to be drank along with the meat you ate. Rapheal said the meat will taste nicer after a drink of their respective wine. For example, white wine goes good with salmon etc. lol. The mixed wine was okay. But the white and red wine tasted too strong! lol. We end up asking for another cup of fruit juice. The fruit juice was good. (= It was a super sinful day!!! Also, we ate a dinner from 7p.m to 10p.m!!! 3hours!!! 0.O unbelieveable!!! After dinner, Sarah and another in-charge took turns to send us back. I was a bit pissed by SJ as she was thick-skinned enough to ask us to let her go back first as she and the other guy was a bit drunk and wished to go back. Luckily, Sarah insisted that they need to queue. It was a bit of a still moment. At last, SJ gave way by telling Sarah that she and the other boy would like to walk around first. -.- A totally different version of what she said just now. Anyway, we got back to our hostel finally. It was a super cold night. I took a shower, washed clothes and went to bed. (=
