the prague castle

Saturday, April 29th, 2006

This is an update for my Prague trip:>

One of the highlight in prague is the Prague castle, and Cathedral of St Vitus.

"These buildings have dominated the panorama of the city for the past milleium amd their shifting fortunes through time reflect those of the Czech nation…."

thats what the guide book says..wowwww

Anyway, we woke up early of the morning, had our breakfast in the prison, then we walked towards the castle, is quite a distance from our hotel, but as there ere so many thing to see on the way, is not that bad after all.

We pass by the VLTAVA River, cross the Famous thousands years old Charles Bridge, ( my cam batterries ran off when we reached the bridge:< so, no video on the bridge) saw some interesting thing, that included two police men hand cuff a guy in between his leg with his pants down..huahuaaaaaaa, is bad of me laughing at him. but i just cant help, guess is nothing funny standing at the middle of the bridge with pants down, private exposed with tons of tourists staring..huahuaaaaaaa

anyway, we slowly strolled our way up to the palace along wit other tourists, very nice place, we can pretty much over look the whole city from the top.the palace is so big, with all the shops and cathedral and gardens ..norwonder they described it as city in the castle.. Also we toutured our self with climbing uo this clock tower in the St Vitus Cathetral, total 286 steps..phewwwww, we reckon our butt get sooo much firmer after this trip:> But the view is rewarding..

happy vaisakhi

Tuesday, April 11th, 2006

Last Sunday, me and my friend Rajni decides to go to south hall, is a place about 1 hour away from London, where you can find lots of Indian restaurant and shops (like a little India). we decides to go is because i never been there before, and i was looking forward to eat some nice Indian food there.

Anyway, when we reach there, to our surprise, there was this huge cerebration going on, is the Sikh community festival, I was told that is their new year. There were so many people, lots of food stall, and guess what, they are giving out free food, chickpea curry, bhatura, rice, samosa, drinks, sweet, fruits…..you name it, there is this stall even give out bread loaf…they even stop the cars that was passing by and offer them food. We were offered all kind of foods, and endless cups of cinnamon tea, and we had a nice time squeezed in to the crowd and watch the parade….we went home with heart full of thankfulness, camera full of video clips, tummy full of Indian food and chick pea curry, and a bladder full of cinnamon tea..wonderful day:>

the complete maze

Tuesday, April 11th, 2006

This is an update of my Leeds Castle trip. the maze is near the castle, big, and we were kinda lost inside:> Lucky there is this "maze Ranger" standing at the middle of the maze, oever look the place, guiding all the lost sheeps in the maze, and we were one of them..hehe..so fun.

The amazing thing is the exit of the maze actually leads to a underground path, which is well decorated with all rhe statues and stuff..amazing, but the video that was taken at the underpath is too dark, so will skip it:>
