Food time

hehe... By the look of it, you might thought " what is that thing? " actually it is Austria's pancake. In the small bowl is cranberry sauce, which you suppose to eat it with the pancake, and it taste good though, also the pancake kind of have caramel flavor in it. Even though the shape and the taste is kind of different from American pancake but it taste good to extreme...! I guarantee you that you would like it, too. Both me and Cristina like it then it mean you'll like it, too. Just trust me. " It Really... Yummy " You will love it.

After eating it, we were so full that I think that I couldn't walk. Even Neary said she want to it again the next day. It taste good that it make me thougth " Is this really pancake? " but it is really a pancake but it is Austria's pancake though. Even so the taste and how it look is kind of unusual that it make both of us think of making it when we go back home. It is good so I think you might want to try it.

Of all the food, we both thought this is the best thing ever. But still there are also many different kind of food that we hadn't try all of it yet. So don't just try the pancake, try something different beside this. And if you do try some new stuff, tell us about it, too.

Day-8 Leaving Austria

We will be leaving Austria today but it is kind of sad that we leave here so soon. And today, we will be packing our stuff and ready to leave here when we are ready. Both me and Cristina thought " when will we able to come here again " still these 7 days of going and visiting every wonderful places are the memories that we have while we were here in Austria. Really... these 7 days is going by really fast.

As we ready to go, we both look at the last view of Austria and its city. We really had a good time in all of those day even though we almost lost in a foreign country. It is kind of sad to leave here. But this trip was good that we can never forget it, and that we hope to be here again. And while looking at the last view, we both said " Good Bye Austria "   

Day-7 Graz ( Graz Hauptplatz & the Town Hall )

Graz Hauptplatz & the Town Hall in Graz, it is our second to last day in Graz I think, because we will be leaving the next day. and it is our second to last day, so we sleep in. Until around 10:30 we ready to go out and we got to go to this market place as show in the picture. It is big, there are small booths, restaurants, shops, etc. There are lot of people over at the market, but in this picture it doesn't show cause the booths, shops, and other places are far in back from where I took the picture. It is very crowded that you might even lost but luckily we both brought our own map in case we got lost. Both me and Cristina were " oh... this is beautiful " when we first arrive. 

The first thing we do is that we eating our breakfast over there while walking and looking to what on sale. There are people crowding to buy food or souvenir on their trip in Graz, As we walk there are lot of beautiful stuffs on sale. Cristina and I were like " we should buy this, we should buy that " but the thing after long period time we just walk, talk and looking around because I think we better to think first before buying stuff that isn't necessary. Well... after a long day, we did buy some souvenir for taking back home. Anyway the day go by fast, but it is very joyful and excited.

Day-6 Graz ( Graz Kunsthaus )

Graz Kunsthaus in Graz, wow... we arrived in Graz by train and we have to wake up early in the morning just to catch a train, but worth it cause we went to this museum, the shape and the interior is amazing. And it also the second famous museum other than Vienna museum of fine art. Anyway, inside the build there is a cafe place, too. And we even spend time there drinking a cup of coffee and do some reading, we even get to enjoy the outside view of the city. The thing is we were kind of tired from waking up early and almost lost in the middle of the city.I was like " uh oh " we lost, but luckily Cristina have the map of Graz and I was safe by Cristina hehe...

The museum is nice, by the outside appearance of it, it look like a one story building but actually there are two story to it. The arts inside the building are extremly good even the this strange shape building is amazing, too. And the outside appearance is good, too cause you see in the picture the white spots, it like some kind of screen and it show a shape or picture of something that were displaced on. With all the art, cafe place and the view of the city, we got all pump up all day long.

Day-5 Graz ( Graz Schlossberg )


Graz Schlossberg in Graz, arrive here by bus and while we were walking around and suddenly we saw a castle on a mountain. I thought that we couldn't go in the castle and walk around but Neary said that she saw in the news paper that we could go in there for 12 euro per person and you can go and see inside. We went inside o my god it was big and beautiful. When you go on top of the castle you could see the hole country where we were. And when you are up their you could allso see the clock tower.

            We had to walk all the way to the top of the castle on stairs. That was the part that was not ok because you get tired. I thought i wasnt going to be able to get their because I was so tired but i did get up their. But after all its was warth it because you could see cool things even though it took us 20min. to get up the castle.

Day-4 Vienna ( Schonbrunn Castle )

Schonbrunn Castle in Vienna, the fourth day of Vienna. Together we went to one of the castle by bus though, which pretty famous around the area. As for the castle, we had learned that this castle was build as both a palace and a summer residence for the numerous families of the rulers. When we first in the castle, we were totally surprised by the construction of the building. We thought, "wow..." 
There are many different kind of style for each individual room and with so many room, we can't imagine how long it will take to construct this building.

Within this castle, there are many room and style of each individual room. As we walk through each individual, we found that some room were decorated in Chinese Style, which it kind of surprising that Chinese Cultural also influence this country. The surrounding of the castle is big, there are gardens, fountain, etc within the castle. The Gardens were also wonderful and the thing is we were lost while walking around the gardens even inside the castle, too. hehe... but we got a map of each area, so we were safe by the map.

Day-2 Vienna ( The Vienna State Opera )

The Vienna State Opera (Wiener Staatsoper) in Vienna, the second day of Vienna. We decided beforehand that we want to try and go to some kind of Opera which we don't seem to familiar with it. On the bus to the opera we thought that if we go there we mind learn some thing about the culture or trandition over there by watching some kind play that related to the people or it country. But the thing is that we never been to a real Opera before, only watch it once or twice on TV. haha... only watch it on TV but wanting to go a real one is kind of making us nervous. We even thought we mind fall asleep half way during the play but luckily we didn't. The plays were nice and exciting and without realising it we enjoy the Opera until the end.

The Opera was wonderful, the music, the song, the play and the people were good and the performance is exciting which made you feel kind of pump up. The customs of the play also reflect on the performance,too. And it was nice because after the Opera we felt very relaxing even walking around was also excited.
