Hello guys, finally got a stable internet connection in "Hotel Duo" somewhere in Prague in the Czech Republic. Today I shall visit the ancient city of Prague.
I'm just here to mention that I haven't died in any plane crash so you can't have my ships. Yes?
Also, I'll just make a few comments on my little holiday.
The German portions are huge compared to what I have back in Singapore. I ate an entire pork knuckle on the first day, polished to the bone. Felt really full.
The weather here is freezing. Summer isn't here, it's practically winter. Have to wear two layers of jackets, I'm just not used to the cold. I can't imagine how some people here actually can cycle in the wind and cold wearing a track suit.
German architecture is amazing. All the old buildings are so cool. All we have in Singapore are high density buildings, flats. Similar to the "communist concrete slabs" only taller and better maintained. I've been to the palaces such as Sanssouci, it was epic.
I can't stop spending Euros on souvenirs. I bought a Russian Marine officer hat and brooch, a salami sausage for back home, a calligraphy set to add to my collection of fountain pens and a whole lot of other gifts for the people back home.
Unfortunately, I noted that some of the people here aren't too friendly to Asians. Understandable though, seeing as Singaporeans don't like foreigners on their turf as well.
Oh and I managed to avoid saying "New Berlin" for quite some time. Though I think I may have said it once or twice.
Places I've been to:
Berlin wall East side Gallery
The Reichstag
The Brandenburg Gates
Checkpoint Charlie
The DDR Museum
Sanssouci Palace
Cecileinhof Palace
Glienicker Bridge
Kay. See you guys soon, I'll be back in Freelancer after I return from Singapore, I don't have Discovery on my laptop. As for now, I will be enjoying my trip for the next few days.
