European Trips - 2004-2006

Before my trip to Barca, I had heard so much about it. About how it one of the best cities in the world to visit, and how beautiful it is etc. So my expectations were very high for my first visit to the place, which is rarely a good thing. But I have ...

 

APs European Vacation

Musee D'Orsay: awesome. Sculptures rocked the house. Three in particular reminded me of the superior AP, Diz and me. Hard to explain why. There was also a painting that screamed Rohan. Waves of purple. Cool stuff. Versailles: also pretty awesome. Cr...

Vienna visit

Boy is Vienna cold in the Winter! After living there for two years you'd think I would have gotten used to it a little?! Maybe the last few months back in London have softened me too much. Oh well, just a good excuse to drink loads of hot punch, I...

Eastern Europe 2007

在二次世界大戰時，華沙近八成的區域被破壞殆盡，隨後靠市民的努力重建，以舊市區廣場為中心，將整個城市恢復原貌。華沙的舊城區相當的漂亮，特別是皇家城堡(Royal Castle)旁的廣場，廣場旁色彩鮮麗的中世紀房舍，加上房舍後方數個教堂的尖塔，從遠方望去沒有人不被這美麗的組合所吸。 ...

Euro Trip 2006

Travels of an antelope: Fact or Fiction

Vienna, Austria
