St. Patrick's Day München

Umzug parade, Guinness Beer, and the Huge Irish crowd in Odeonsplatz/Universität on a Sunday Afternoon ;)

Ski session 4

Our last Ski day for this Winter Season ...
Lots of white Fluff!

Leggeries, München (20 Feb 2010)

Ski Lesson 2.
Finally, we could Ski on the Slopes (S, M, L and I)
Falling innumerously, screaming pathetically and the thrilling X-Factor were the joys of the Day (of coz, the The T-bar Lifts was difficult, esp when trying the get off it without falling into the Snow ;)

Next lesson: Skiiing with the Poles!

Ski Alpbach 06-02-2010

Went with S to Alpbach in Austria for a Ski-Kurs.

Beautiful snowy day, and it ended with a nice beer+Chocolat+Croissants Session ;)

Singapur, my lovely Island (20 to 29 Jan 2010)

For a week, I kept myself busy with eating, shopping and enjoying the sunshine!!!

'Shiok' was the only word to describe this home trip with KLM ;)

Bavaria Filmstadt 09-01-2010

Visited the Bavaria Filmstadt with M on a very cold Morning (-5 Grad + snow).

It was a nice place, where the filming of cartoons like Asterix/Never ending Story/Vicky & das Boot. Indeed, even some of the visitors tested their acting skills there too!

After Lunch, we went to buy my new Laptop, yipee:)

Boston, USA (Dec 2009) Part 2

Goodbye Boston
Departure Hall E, Boston Logan Airport

USS Constitution Museum

Bunker Hill Memorial

After the 300 steps climb to the top of the Memorial

Museum of Fine Arts

At every corner, there seems to be one such shop around. But then, the donuts aren't really that fantastic.

The burgers here does taste better than Mac or BK.

Boston, USA (Dec 2009) Part 1

Hmm, luckily the Christmas Bomber didn't share the same plane as me...

The famous "Freedom Trail" that kept me occupied for 3 days...

My fantastic King-sized bed in the Bulfinch Hotel, overlooking not the coastline, but the Federal Sheriff's office

The ridiculously large meals that I have every afternoon... and dinners were usually in the nice restaurants in "Little Italy" ( I think I shall avoid italian food for now...)
Seafood were plenty and fresh, especially in Quincy Market and Little Italy. I didn't tried the lobsters though, because they cost a bomb!

American Bagels in all flavors and doubles as Burger Buns too...
Aerial view of Boston city from Prudential's Sky Walk

Visit to Harvard Square & the Harvard Museum

In Boston Commons (City Garden)

Lunch Point

North End Wharf

Harborwalk to North End

Fantastic view of plane takeoffs!

Aquarium, a place that is 10% Underwater world... but it cost US$20, gosh! Unbelievable but true, those Americans who toured the place with me were super amazed by the pathetically few sharks and turtles swimming around!!!

Museum of Science, another flop.

It was bright and sunny, but the temp was -20 deg, wow!

Walking along Charlestown Bridge to the Navy Yard

There aren't many historically old statues around

First trip to the American soil, Boston

Luckily the weather was not too cold, except for the last 3 days, when the winds were so strong (50 miles/h) & that brought down the temp to lower than -20 Grad...brrrrr.

Boston was nice, with pretty sea views, nice food and good shopping.

The museums were not as interesting as expected, and heavily overpriced! The subway trains were in terrible conditions, old and cranky!

1 week spent with so many Blacks and the loud and bombastic Amerikans was a little too much to bear...

Give me Germans anytime, they can be rigid & stuffy, but it makes life more pleasant and safer.
