EXPLORE EUROPE ~ 2 COUNTRIES IN 5 DAYS ~ GERMANY & AUSTRIA (DAY 3-5)



My trip to Salzburg was special because it somehow brought fragments of childhood memories.   When I was a kid, I would always make sure to watch on TV whenever Sound of Music was shown, which was usually during Christmas.  So when I went for “The Sound of Music Tour”, I (as well as the other tourists) had so much fun singing along with the Von Trapp Family’s songs being played on the bus.

It was cold and wet when I was in Salzburg, but it does not matter if it was raining, being a “pluviophile” that I am, the more I have enjoyed the tour.  See below few of the photos I have taken of the places I have gone to.  My favorite is the Lakeside District.  Hope you enjoy it.


Leopoldskron Palace
The lake where the famous boating scene was filmed. You will see the Captain´s backyard and private palace gardens.

Hellbrunn Palace, Gazebo

The gazebo which was rebuilt especially for the fans of the movie - you certainly will remember the "16 going on 17" scene and the kissing scene of Maria and Baron von Trapp.

Salzburg Lake District

After the film-location tour within the town of Salzburg, we drove out into the lake district, passing Lake Fuschl and Lake Wolfgang, where panorama shots and scenes of the picnic were filmed.

St Michael's Church Mondsee

The famous church, where the wedding of Maria and Baron von Trapp was filmed in the movie The Sound of Music. 

For me Salzburg is one of the beautiful cities I have seen and I would definitely comeback if given the chance.  But next time it would be summertime, I want to see how it looks, especially the countryside, when the sun is up, the sky is blue and the fields are green.


Location: Salzburg, Austria

MY PUMPKIN BLOUSE

Image
Today I woke up in a no-mood-to-work state.  But I have no choice  but to drag my self to the bathroom and position my sleepy head under the cold shower. As usual I got to work 10 minutes past 0800hours.  Had my tsai and adobo roll (courtesy of Arjay P.), then work work work..... Today I wore to work, not my regular office get up, a black skinny jeans, black flat shoes and one of my favorite blouse, pumpkin shape blouse which, I am aware of, gives me a preggy look.  Everytime I wear this, 2 of my female colleagues won't let the chance pass by without commenting that I look fat on my blouse, and the first time I wore it, one of my male arab colleagues even asked me "are you pregnant?" hahaha.  I don't care what they say with how I look on it, I just love it and I am comfortable wearing it, and that what is important. As lunch time approaches, the stronger I feel sleepy.  I need to have a nap or else I m...

Moscow, Russia ~ Beneath the Poker Face

Image
Moscow, where do I start to tell the story of my experience of you? You are not even part of my plans in 2017, but somehow a friend managed to convince me to join on this trip.  Honestly speaking, from planning stage up to getting the visa, my feeling was not really that super excited, I could not even be bothered to check the things to do in Moscow.  I did my preparations and notes of the "dos" & "don'ts" 2 days prior to my flight.  So basically, this was one of the trips I was unprepared but somehow managed to enjoy and survive, considering the language barrier, among other things like weather, etc. From my perspective and personal experience, this part of the world is very interesting. Why I say so? First, let’s talk about people.  Poker face, that’s how I described Russians. They have this unfriendly, straight and nose up faces.  My impression was not good up until this trip.  Now I can say, given a chance they can be one of the...
