Inevitable oblivion.: longest trip ever. Part I

As the title says it all, yeah. My trip to Europe was by far the longest trip I've been on (both flight duration and trip duration). This all happened during Chinese New Year 14'. It was a 11 day trip that consists of travelling through 5 countries. We initially planned on going for the London or Paris tour but it was already full by the time we were looking for tours. So let the story of my trip begin.

Small disclaimer, a lot of the pics just consists of buildings.

Since they're so pretty.

So Day 1 was just pretty much flying from KLIA to Dubai. I have to say, the first flight I had with Emirates was pretty bad. The service was lousy, the air stewardesses were pretty rude and impatient.

Seriously the only thing that kept me asleep. So grateful that they had this on plane. No wonder Sound of Music is my all time childhood favourite.

Then after we reached Dubai we had to wait for our next flight for about 3-4 hours. It was torture. I think I only had 1 hour sleep on the plane, and there wasn't much places at the Dubai airport to sleep. Our only choice was sleeping while sitting on the floor. Our flight from Dubai to Czech was okay. But the same, wasn't able to get any sleep. Honestly I've never managed to EVER catch some sleep on flights. However I'm actually able to sleep soundly on buses. I guess thats what you get from going home by van for 5 years. By the time we reached Czech, it was around Day 2 noon, and the first thing I saw once I got out of the airport was an Audi taxi. Talk about cray cray.

Taking a rare selfie with Qian once we got onto the bus.

So the first spot we went was the Charles Bridge, Prague. We got on a boat and ordered coffee and went cruising around the river.

They see us cruisin, they hatin.

Charles Bridge.

After cruising around for about 30 minutes, we got off and took a walk into the city area of Prague. There were lots of shops that I'd hardly ever see in KL unless you go to Pavillion like Tiffany and Co., and many other shops. And let me tell you, Starbucks is EVERYWHERE you go in Europe. Seriously every one of the countries I've visited there definitely has Starbucks. We can usually only get Starbucks in malls in Malaysia. You can say Starbucks was also our saviour on our first day in Europe cause we seriously couldn't stand the cold. So hot Mocha with a bagel to go. It was really good.

Obviously they had to have Tiffany blue canopies.

Into the heart of the city.

Prague's famous astronomical clock. Its much prettier in real life.

I really like their streets. Instead of the boring tar roads, they got bricked roads, and their building placings are really similar to Diagon Alley. Winding roads basically. A lot of them are also pastel coloured.

Pretty sculpted entrance.

DO YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN BY IT LOOKS SO HARRY POTTER-ISH?

Then we pretty much had historical explanations on the buildings and cathedrals by our tour guide. Then it was just free and easy time. Quickly the day just ended with a pretty night view of Prague.

My iPhone camera doesn't do much justice.

Day 3.

We went onto the Charles Bridge first, then headed to a super huge cathedral. There was a well there and I think it was supposed to drown witches back in the days?? My memory could be wrong.

Charles Bridge selfie. I don't know why this picture looks so edited. I swear I didn't edit this. Go to my Instagram to check out the original pic. I remember I lost one side of my glove here. And it was freezing cold there cause we were right above a river after all.

Tiffany & Co. again.

More pastel buildings.

Cathedral. Church. I don't even remember. I'm so sorry.

I just know that they're really detailed and pretty.

Moar.

The well I was talking about.

Day 4.

We took nearly half a day to travel to Poland. To be honest, I felt really uneasy during that day. I don't like to be superstitious, but whenever me and my mum enters antique shops, we get kinda dizzy or nauseous. Basically anywhere that has something to do with people with dead earlier generations. Since antique shops in Malaysia sell a lot of stuff you get from soldiers. My mum believes that their troubled souls are still in them, which is why they bother us. Just like that day I went to the Nazi concentration camp, I felt like throwing up. Not because of the disgusting things they did to the Jews, but I just felt 'puky' all day. I had a hard time breathing too. It was really scary for me.

The buildings that the Jews had to sleep in.

Each of them are now exhibitions of the Jews' life.

This was taken at the end of the camp tour.

Day 5.

We went to a salt mine. It was pretty amusing to me. I actually thought that it would be pretty boring but it turned out to be on the contrary.

Never expected this to be in a salt mine huh. Apparently people still rent this salt mine hall for conferences or even weddings. Can you believe all those ceilings and walls are all salt? It was a pretty tiring experience but still educational.
