Hey everyone, I thought that I should inform you all that I am back from my honeymoon because I’ve got some emails that are very concerned of what happened to me and also a few “weird” comments pretending to be written by me which of course is deleted. Actually I got back on Sunday night, 11th October and was way too tired that I slept till 12 in the noon. Had a lot of clothes to wash, bags to unpack and my work stuff accumulated for a month to deal with.
For the past month I traveled to Italy, Switzerland, France, Germany (Only for Oktoberfest) and Austria. I like Switzerland the best because everything there is so systematic and clean. The whole trip was nice as we saw a lot of things, went to a lot of places especially churches and ate the local food there. It was tiring though because there was a lot of walking and we were moving from one place to another dragging our big luggage.
We are very thankful that we did not get mugged or anything stolen. However there was once when I was helping my wife carrying her slingbag while we were in a shop selling clothes and noticed it opened when I felt someone pushed me. They were really fast and luckily nothing was stolen from the bag.
There was a case when we took the tram and forgot to validate our new tickets. When we about to get down the train in Duomo, Milan, an official asked for our tickets and found them not validated. He cannot speak English at all and all he can say is “Ticket no validate, FINE. 34 euros (pointing at me), 34 euros (pointing at my wife)”. I had no idea if he was a real official or not because I heard of fake police in Malaysia so I took a photo of him. He noticed that and shouted “NO PHOTO!”. If you ever take a tram or public bus in Milan, make sure your ticket gets VALIDATED or just RUN away from this guy if you see him!

I am still trying my very best to get back into your normal routines. Going to sleep before midnight is really tough for me nowadays and of course waking up early is impossible if I can’t sleep early. I should have some articles coming up tomorrow or day after tomorrow.

Hope you had a lovely honeymoon. I know how people can be when traveling in foreign counties, I myself have traveled to the Netherlands and India. Both beautiful in their on way, but big differences. How about you show us some photos from your trip. Thanks for all you do and keep up the fabulous work. Get some rest, time changes can really affect your internal clock.
It is not a good thing to post someones photo without there permission.
You didn’t ever posted your photo in your blog itself.
Anyway it was for only a good thing. Keep up your work.

Hello Ray,
welcome back home after a splendid period in my Europ.
I’m from Belgium.
Hi Raymond, unfortunately the guys is legit and 34 euros is not that much! If you forget to validate the ticket here in Venezia you can get up to €50!!!
It’s a shame nobody of those old scumbags don’t talk english, in italy we all hate thos “ticket check” people…they’re even payed by the company!!!
Cheers, Nick

I’m sorry for the inconvenience to Milan, though the man in the picture it looks to be a controller! The next time you meet the controller can knee him in the balls!
Wow – a trip through Europe for a month! (jealous!)
…great to have you back!
I bet if he knew you were the Raymond from Raymond.cc, you would not have been fined.
He probably would have given you a free ride, LOL.
A big welcome back home.
You were missed.
Not all Italians are such assholes, the controllers of the tram tickets are categorized as infamous persons.
Excuse by an Italian!!

Welcome back Raymond, hoping you and your wife will have a Great Honeymoon.
Everybody misses u!!! hoooRAy!!!!!!!
Hi i’m italian, my name is Matteo and i follow this blog a few of years. I want to say that the ticket checker is not a thieft. In milan they are clothed like him. About the price of ticket, i want to say that in milan we can buy the ticket on board of the tram, even if there is a 50cents supplement on the original price. 38euro are not so much, in turin if a passenger doesn’t have the ticket, the price to pay is 60 euro. I think the the real thiefts are in turin, cause it’s not possibile that is almost twice the price to pay in milan. Another thing, if you and your wife wondering why the official seems a completely idiot, dont’ worry it’s normal… all the officials in italy have the face of stupids. Bye from Italy.
Glad to have you back. Missed your articles.
welcome back ray, i really miss ur article, check it everyday…
