ok i havent been updating this cos i’ve been super lazy. n also bcos the friend i travelled with has a canon eos slr so most of the photos are with him and i havent gotten them bcos my laptop is already low on disk space!!! my europe 2008 photos are currently at like 30GB. bleah. so i have to delete tons of stuff!
but i think so many things have happened i should just do it or else i myself wil forget about it soon!!!!
so i’ll just post some pictures and caption them heh.
here’s the update for the vienna trip from 20 to 22 june! the famous thing in vienna is actually the viennese boys choir, which i wanted to catch a show of, but they didnt have one when i was there so too bad! but it’s a beautiful city of music and culture, so there’s still tons to see! n of cos there’s the famous wiener schnitzel which is actually a veal cutlet, but nowadays is usually chicken or pork, which is cheaper.
anw during the time we were there euro 2008 matches were going on there! so the police were everywhere and the atmosphere was great. some croatien fans even gave us free pretzels cos they were drunk. haha. but of cos i always welcome free food.
here’s a pic of the police near the fanzone during the croatia-turkey match on 20june!
n here’s a pic just outside the fanzone! bustling with a thousand fans! but we didnt go in cos we’d rather sightsee!
n here’s some pretty building that i took from inside another colourful building. the outer one is actually just made of red bricks, called gasometer, which is some shopping centre.
oh n we went to visit this cemetery, where mozart, bach, strauss are all buried. but unfortunately i dont have the photos cos there are all with my fren! will edit the post once i get hold of them. hopefully my comp doesnt crash.
n i also dont have the photos of the huge wiener schnitzel that we ate for only €5,80! there were 2 huge cutlets that even I could not finish!!!!
k since im so lazy i shall combine the berlin trip together with this! oh ya i took the mitfahr (carpool) to berlin alone! on 23june cos my fren had class n only came the next day! its the cheapest way! only €25 from munich to berlin. train would cost at least €49 one way. so i toured alone on the 23, then met my fren on the 24th!
again i dont have many photos bcos i travelled with the same guy and i just asked him to take everything hahah cos his pictures are nicer!
here’s part of the berlin wall that was on display at potsdamer platz!
and here’s the brandenburg gate, a famous landmark in berlin.
bcos of the euro, there is this coca-cola fanzone set up around it where they have public screening of the matches!
this is the reichstag, the parliament building from the outside.
entry is free and view from above is gorgeous!
this is a monument to commemerate the murdered jews of europe during the holocaust.
here’s us satisfied after eating at some doener kebab place in berlin! as recommended in lonely planet. it claims to be the creator of the great doener in germany!
this is part of the east side gallery, another place in berlin showcasing part of the remains of the berlin wall! we also wrote our names on an empty part of it. heh.
there is this world clock in alexander platz where u can find the country names on it specifying which time zone they are in!!
this is the amazing berliner dom (berlin cathedral)! there were nice grass patches around it where everyone lazes around on to enjoy the nice summer day! so we did the same:)
here’s a nice panorama from the top of the parliament building!!
and here’s the pretty sunset from the same place!
hopefully i will have the motivation to edit this horrid post with more exciting pictures when i get them from my fren!!
