Don't get me wrong, I'm not competing in any sports in that Winter Olympics nor that I was specially invited to it. But I will be going there for few days just to experience it. I've never been to any Winter Olympics before, this will be my first time. So I want to take this opportunity to really experience it because it might be my only chance in my lifetime to experience it.

I'm actually not only excited about being given a chance to go to the Winter Olympics, I'm more excited because I got to play in the snow! You know, coming from a tropical country we only have two seasons in a year, hot season and rainy season. It has always been my dream to actually go to a place with snowy winter ever since I was a kid. I always asked my parent back then, why our country doesn't have snow and they find it difficult to answer especially when that question came from a 7 year old. I guess most kids in tropical country have the same dream as this, who doesn't want to play with snow at least once in their lifetime, right? I've been in a winter but it was the Australian winter, it was cold but no snow.

So going for this trip I will strike a few items off from my bucket wishlist and my personal dreams, going to a country in winter (with snow), playing with and in the snow, taking photos of the snowy winter and going to an Olympic (although I only put this in my bucket list last year... LOL!). Also running naked in the snow! nope I won't do that, just kidding LOL!

Anyway, it will be a photography trip for me in a way. Since this is my first time, I don't know what to expect actually. I told myself that I will be going with an open heart and mind. Some of my friends said it will be very difficult to take photos in cold winter but they did give me a few tips. If any of you have any tips for me, do share it in the comments below.
Damn I can't wait to got there. I'm really excited right now!
