Hehe... Yeah Morbid Power! I didn't know the part about hanging tapestries over the wall to keep the heat insulated. I always learn some cool history fact from you! Ah, Napolean is 1.68m. Not as short as King Charles I though any guy below 1.7m is considered short to me. <br /><br />PS: We escaped from Break Out too! *smug look*Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809710184123691858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-61971308944260409872014-05-13T20:40:37.320+08:002014-05-13T20:40:37.320+08:00Thanx for stopping by.

Your blog posts are full of so much informa...Hi Jo! Your blog posts are full of so much information and detailed photos I feel like I'm literally following you on your trip. Although Im guessing that is the point hahaha if so, well done! I enjoyed reading all the history (although its probably pretty obvious now I really enjoy history in general, bbc documentaries anyone?) So far my favorites are reading about the torture museum! I remember us being the girls who enjoy horror and morbid things, power to us!<br /><br />I learned in class that those old stone castles were really cold so they would place large thick blanket/tapestries etc. over the walls to keep the heat insulated. I can't imagine having to go to war in that armor! How would you even move and your line of sight would be so limited! (like "tiger eye" in Cantonese) When you said that some of the armor seemed to be for some really questionable small men, it reminded me of Napoleon and his short stature.<br /><br />Re: My sibling and I have swam throughout our lives although I wouldn't say we're good at it haha My mom thought we had to learn how to swim because it could save our lives. It actually wasn't that far but it sure looks far in the photo! Also my sister ordered her eggs hard boiled hahaha It just looked so funny when it came like that. Oh good job at escaping from Freeing SG! Were you able to escape from Breakout?Manahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13038977364952640480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392001.post-77572733736358447612014-04-27T22:11:47.800+08:002014-04-27T22:11:47.800+08:00This was the best history lesson I ever had Jo!!! ...This was the best history lesson I ever had Jo!!!

I'm always very afraid of holding up people's time once I get immersed in the beauty of culture and history. It was fortunate that I'm generally a fast reader and I always end up waiting for the hubby to finish reading.

Whenever I watch movies of medieval war scenes, I often wondered about how heavy their get-up is and how I would have just collapse from sheer exhaustion before I even reached the battleground.

It seems like there were 2 skeletons which were greatly contested and in the end, it was decided not to have any tests conducted on them. It's all rather vague. I think it might be good to leave it as an open ending.

Hehehe... So it wasn't really a brave thing. I explored a very famous abandoned haunted hospital in Singapore and that felt 100 times worse than the towers. Hehehe... <br /><br />Your mum's eyes sound so alluring! And yes, I fit into some xxxs, some xxs, some xs and even s for MNG so I would say it really depends on what clothing items.
