My trip - part 2
So here I go again :)
I promised I would write a long long time ago, but I just didn’t have the time to do that. Well, I actually had the time to write, but it would have been something short and really not enough. Now the spring holyday finally started and I have all the time in the world :)
The last time I wrote I told you about my beautiful day in Budapest. Now it’s time for Prague :)
And what can I say about Prague? It was amazing ^^ (God, I’m saying “amazing” almost in every sentence :P). It looked like the time has stopped there. The buildings, the streets, the atmosphere, it all looked like it hadn’t been changed since the Renaissance. It was so amazing to walk at those streets and to look those old churches. I can spent a whole day seeing churches and I won’t get bored. In Prague I saw St. Vitus Cathedral. It was so amazing, so big, so great… It took 500 years to be built. Can you imagine how long time is that? There is nothing as mystical and strange and extraordinary as faith. Faith could be used for manipulation and power over enormous number of people, faith could be used as an excuse for horrible things, but faith is sometimes the only thing that gives us hope and helps us deal with our incredibly small problems. And I think that we don’t really have enough faith nowadays. And people really do need more of it. And I’m not just talking about faith in Christian God, I’m talking about faith in one better future. We all need that.
Uhm… So, get back to the point. I loved Prague. :) And it was so strange shopping in the center, because all the salesmen were Bulgarians! They told me that there were some company in Bulgaria which organized getting job abroad and they were all form the same company. And that was really useful for me, because I could speak with the salesmen on my own language :P So, yeah, I really loved Prague :)
And the last city I visited was Vienna.
I was absolutely shocked from the first minute we arrived in the city. Everything was so clean, so beautiful, so… perfect. It looked like the city had been build just yesterday. I don’t know how so big capital can be so clean, but I loved it ;) I went to see Schönbrunn Palace and I was so impressed by it. It had such an amazing history and atmosphere… You have no choice, you just fall in love with it the moment you see it. And in the garden there were some people who weren’t really visiting the palace, they were just walking by, or doing their jogging or something… And I thought how happy they were. To live in that beautiful city, to live around that amazing palace, it really should make your life at least a little bit happier. I live in an ugly dirty town an hour away from Sofia and I really can’t imagine what it’s like to live in such a beautiful place like Vienna. :) Anyway, I really loved Schönbrunn, I bought the biggest book about it they had and I’m looking in its pictures almost every night :) I saw also Hofburg Imperial Palace, The Belvedere Palace and so many amazing things and places, but I think you are getting really bored already :P And after that I finally had the time for shopping. :) Thanks to romine (thank you, thank you, thank you, you’re the coolest ^^) I knew the best place to buy some DVD boxes :) So I bought Alias - season 5, Buffy - season 6 and the O.C. - season 1 :) I wanted to buy some season of Angel, but that bloody season 5 of Alias was 8 euro more then I expected, so I had to limit my purchases :P And still it’s the best ^^
And the other thing I loved about Vienna was that I was finally able to understand the people in the street ^^ Well, actually my German is not really good, it’s not even half as good as my English, but I still love the language. There’s something about German, I don’t know how to say it… It’s hard for me to understand everything, but every time I hear German it just feels… like home. And it’s a nice feeling :)
So… That was my trip. I loved it. Every day of it, every second of it. ^^
