The Amazing Little Town - Füssen

Füssen

I must say, its a must go for tourists in Germany. It is an important little town which has its extraordinary landscape and the most attractive spot -

Schloss Neuschwanstein (The New Swan Stone Castle)

It toook us almost 4 hours train to get there from Erlangen. We departed at 9 in the morning but most of us were really sleepy and tired,and a little bit awkward especially when we were sitting among a group of FC Bayern Munich "old guys" fans with a bottle of beer in each of their hands as breakfast. Well I shall say: football fans like to drink, and they drink since the morning.



Bored in the train while everyone is sleeping.

We arrive at the Füssen Bahnhof and took a bus to Schwangau where the castle is.





The group of us, Heidi, Aida, and Yee-Chun mit ich, and the little castle from far.
As soon as we stepped foot at Füssen, we heard a lot of American English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, it is a very very tourist place. And all the things are being 'touristfied'. Like I ate a "microwaved" frozen burger which has a diameter of about 7cm and that costed me 2.80. And it is NOT YUMMY at all.


Hohenschwangau. The old castle of King Ludwig II. I didn't went into this one, just kinda walk past befor we took another bus uphill.

We bought a student ticket with an English tour but it was like 2.5 hours later so we decided to just stroll around the Marienbrücke bridge to look at the castle for far, or I shall say the best angle.


Two very cute little girls, especially the one in pink, they posed for me to take pictures :)


This is the view from above the bridge, very very refreshing water flowing, making me feel like jumping into it!


The castle, the sunlight, everything is perfect. (I don't understand why all the tourist attractions that I went to is always ALWAYS under renovation)


Me and It, or It and I, or It and Me? (quoted from Aida)


Us on the bridge!!


And we walked into a narrow little trail in the jungle, and realised that it is not allowed when we came out. Because it looked like a cliff.


What's wrong with my peace? It looks very, weird. Or tourist, I supposed.


OK, much better without me in it. Look at the Autumn leaves and the awesome view of the lake and the Alps!


Some side of the castle.


Meine mitbewohnerin, Aida.


The long missing jumping pose, people were laughing at me, some old people. I guessed they were just envy of me because I can jump that high while they can't. Oh even they can they just can't coordinate themselve into such a perfect double peaces and the red scarf flying in such a perfect way. OK Let's say they can, I don't think they will be in time for the camera man to snap at that precise moment. Because their camera man is gonna have shaky hands and slow coordination, and they don't have a red scarf.

Don't worry I am just crapping.


Supposingly a Heart shape.


On the way to the castle.


At the entrance.


A good view from the castle. Still the lakes, the Alps and the warming sunlight in sucha cold weather. It was between -3 and 3 degrees.





I wanna be a royal family and enjoy the privileges of building my castle around this super awesome landscape.


My dinner. Big portion = Lotsa calories = Will be fat when I am back.


We stayed for a night in this Cosy little hostel called the Hostel L.A House. We booked for three but were given a room for four, and I enjoyed chit-chatting so much with the girls that night.

DAY 2

We strolled around the little town of Füssen the next day. It was a Sunday so most of the shops were closed. Hardly anyone was seen on the streets except for church and some restaurants.


It was a rainy and foggy morning, we walked by this river, it just makes me feel so free, bringing serenity to my troubled mind.


I just can't take my eyes off them. All the sceneries, the awesome creation of mother nature, it's a gift for the people that visit Füssen, seriously.





The three of us. My good friends and travel mates.





Finally Sumo has the chance to come out and take pics again. It is nice to have red leaves crawling on the walls.





Autumn leaves and me - take 1.


Autumn leaves and me - take 2. I have to emphasize, I GOT A CHIN HERE! Probably because of the lack of light, hahaha, and some wrong shadow.





Went to the Stadtmusuem and saw this library. Heidi said she wanted library like this, just like in the Beauty and the Beast. I am gonna built myself a library like this in my palace next time too! and I have to buy a lot of 'nice-looking' books. Yeah, my books are gonna be as vain as me.


Last but not least - the Totentanz, the Dance of Death. It was painted in 1602 by Jakob Hiebeler.Under the motto" Say yes or say no, you must dance", 20 scenes depict various social ranks, led by the pope and the king, dancing with death from whom not even the little child nor the artist himself are spared. A very nice painting and meaningful indeed.

This summarizes my trip to the last stop of the Romantic Road in Germany - Füssen.

I am looking forward to the trip to Prague the day after tommorow!
It's another princess adventure to a new country in Europe.

Another trip to Nürnberg

I went to Nürnberg again 2 days after the previous trip :P
(If you wonder why sometimes I type Nuremberg and sometimes it's Nürnberg, it's because Nuremberg is the name in English while Nürnberg is the name in German)
For shopping, only shopping and eating.
I know, I am crazy, it was like my last days of holidays so I just desperately wanted to go somewhere. And well, I am going to Nürnberg again this Saturday, but it is an excursion :) So hopefully I get to know more of Nuremberg from it's historical and geographical sides, instead of just where to eat and shop! (Well, that's what locals are, haha acting local now)

Ok back to that Saturday morning, there is a Lebküchen(Gingercake) Market. Nürnberg is famous for it's Lebküchen and Weihnachtsmarkt (Christmas Market). So they always have this gingercake market.


Well, I didn't buy any as I am not that big fan of Ginger, and cakes.

When there is no pictures, that means that both of us were really busy shopping.

And finally we got really hungry and decided to hunt for something around the market.
We had some crepes, it was super yummy!
Smelled something real good from far, and realised it was this >>


Fried champignons! How awesome is that! Crispy on the outside, juicy inside.


Chun got her fish sandwich, some raw fish marinated with salt and some sweet sauce inside, it was yummy :)


But I am really not that connvinced with their sashimii, it looked like it is going bad any moment you start to eat them.


After some salty bits, I got myself a string of grapes coated in milk chocolate :) They are not as yummy as I have thought, but well it was still yummy.


Vain vain vain, just to show S babe my new boots :) and that's my Zara knit.


Well, and there was this weird old men choir, like sailors. Standing there listening for like 1 minute and left. Old men are not for me, I only want cute guys :P

Lotsa things to share about my experience in labs. I shall update sometime soon :)

Tshüss!

Happy Halloween!

Trick or treat??

I went to my 1st Halloween Party ever yesterday in my dorm, since I live in the party dorm, there is no reason why I should miss this awesome event right!

I had been thinking of a lot alot of costumes and try to shop for some little devil costumes (yeah I wana be slutty) but I don't find any, so at last I have decided that I shall just go with my lab coat and act like a mad scientist or whatever.

Eliza and I bought a tube of fake blood and it looks really real!! Of course, with my superb skills of making fake wounds!! So fake wounds are pretty much easy to make, just buy a tube of fake blood, and stick it with some tissue paper on to the place where you want your wound to be, add some liquid black eyeliner onto some spots of the tissue paper, and now it looks real! But the only advantages is by the end of the night the tissue paper gets quite dry and it will kinda peel off or crack. But it still gives u a very good effect though :)


Dead Ballerina in act! We were trying to make up stories for how we die,and she wants to die of a gun shot, haha.And she sew her own too-too!! How amazing is that?



My room became the room where everyone put their fake blood on.



This is what I was planning to wear before my floormate lend her costume to me.


I zombied her up!! Make up and the wound :) Satisfied with my own work!! Wished we had lips concealer, it will look better!



And that's me!!The Zombie Nun!! Had some blood tears and a wound beside my mouth.
Well I think everyone still wants to be pretty even for Halloween but I think I made myself scary more than pretty!! But I am happy because I won't have a chance to wear this in real life, and it's only for Halloween you don't get people staring at you when you walk on the streets!



The Joker approached me and said " Why don't you smile?", it was so eerie! And I replied "Amen" LOL. We are both very into our characters.


A nun becoming a reaper while a witch is drinking beer, and I have no idea why the camera man looks so happy, haha.

It was really hard for me to talk and laugh as the fake wound dried up. And I was struggling with my expression when I take photos because I don't know whether I should just look scary all the time or what.


But finally I succeeded to smile a little bit,it doesn't look that bad does it? It feels like now I am just a nun working overtime and injured my face..


But if I don't smile, you better not try me.



Groupie pic. The doctor zombie, the nun zombie, the emo kid, the vampire and the witch.



The Japanese babes dressed up cute as always.



And I think this nun has smooth skin. HAHAHAH. I think the powder + the potrait mode of my camera makes this magic.


This is the only time that I don't need to correct the red eyes of my pictures. I am glad, we should take more Halloween pics. Free red contacts :P


The sexy vampire, and I am sure every men is willing to get bitten by her.


No idea what we were trying to express.Nun with becks and cross with a constipated look? Perhaps.


Yeah and I like the green lights effect.


I am now a nun of the witchery society.Gosh, having a witch hat is way better than the nun's headscarf. At least it makes my face looks pointy rather than "M-E-A-T-Y"( although that was a fact)


Trying to curse the vampire.


Dearest Azusa and Fabio.



Meet my party-goers.

It was reeeeeally crowded yesterday night, we were being squeezed, squished and banged while we were on the dance floor. Especially when those people got drunk and started jumping. How does it look like when a nun dances on the dancefloor?

I will leave that to your imagination.

Happy Halloween!

I had a tiring night. Eliza came over and we both went through 2 Physical chem labs that we have gotta do this week and we spent like 2.5 hours, purely going through. Gosh, self studying takes so much time. I want to go to lectures now!

But well we are going to the lectures tommorow about Medicinal Chemistry but the lectures are in German!! Hahaha, I have no idea how are we going to understand, we will just try our best :P Will have a long day tommorow, from 9in the morning till 8 at night for my German course.

And yeah my tyre punctured today!I have gotta walk and take a bus to classes tommorow. :(

Anyway wish me luck ~

Good night peeps.
