Prague Prag Praha Czeck it out!

Kind people from Thailand

When I arrived Prague, I needed czeck money which I do not have. And there is no place to change money since the shops are already close. To my surprise, I found a pair of Filipino look a like overseas workers who are from Thailand. I helped them take their pictures. Taking my chances, I asked them if they know somewhere near where I can change money. But actually, I was thinking at the back of my mind whether they will be willing to change money with me. Well, they were more than willing to change money with me for the fact that they are going back to Germany from few days vocation in Prague. They even give me their one day bus and tram ticket good until next day 10am. I have the tram ticket and I have some cash to spend.

I manage to meet great people at the right time...

Secret of Princess Sisi @ Vienna

Vienna...
Vienna sausage is the first thing pop in my mind
thought there is not much to see
but surprise by how much the city has to offer
shopping, museum and architecture
there is too much to see

How I wish I had more time to spend
wondering around the architectures and sculptures
hopping from one shop to another store
feeling the arts and culture among museums
unveiling more secrets beneath the castle walls

Princess Sisi
fantasize by films
this trip brings me
to facts of her life
brings her to meeting point with Princess Diana

Mozart's Salzburg Symphony

Due to economic crisis
around the world
even the great Mozart
can't help but to have a shift of career
from being the musician
to a salesman
selling chocolates, perfumes
and
his past

By my side

In salzburg, I met an old lady who escort me all the way to the youth hostel. I just asked her where it is and even though she also had no idea where it was. She insisted to escort me and did the favor of asking people we met along the way on how to reach that place. She won't leave me until she made sure I found the place. She reminds me of "san hu li ma" and my late grandmother. It keeps me thinking that my granny's spririt might be with her, that is why she can't leave me alone wondering in the streets.

Beautiful sunrise starts my day in Kloster Seeon

How inspiring to start a day like this...

Hamburg revisited

We take the first regional train available for Länder ticket to Hamburg. The ticket was bought in the train station. It is cheaper since we got it from the machines. Otherwise, we have to pay service charge if we bought it through the counter. One Länder ticket is good for 5 persons. It took us 2.5 hours to reach Hamburg. There is a Mc Donalds in the train station. It is a good place to set as meeting place for friends coming from different directions.

We
walked around the lake,
passed through Rathaus( municipal office),
floated over the lake to their mini aritificial look beach (by public ferry),
dropped by a Enrico's favorite Portugese restaurant,
crossed the myterious tunnel (open for walk only on Weekends),
watched the city in different angles,
felt the cry at the ruined church, and
enjoyed hot drinks for the rest of the day(restaurants and coffee shops are open on Sunday).

We thought we loose our legs after walking and trekking like forever.
