The inconspicuous sign at the entrance. It's like a small hole. Oh but enter, and find yourself in a totally different realm of reality from the cold white surroundings outside.
These coat-hangers give you a warm greeting as you enter. The lighting and colours of the church are really cosy!
Turn to the right, and you'll see this. Everybody seems to siam whenever I take photos inside...
Go further in, and look to the right. Nice place right?!
The mini-sanctuary where they have really worshipful praise & worship. Complete with kids' songs :)
It's been a wonderful Sunday, not least because of the kindness and hospitality of the Singaporean couple (and their toddler), who pulled me to join their Sunday 'rest & chill' itinery. From talking in the left-hand drive and left-side roads - yes, that's right, opposite to Singapore's right-side roads - to a lunch treat in a Chinese restaurant with their local friends (Authentic Asian food is great. Especially after 2 weeks of fake Asian meals I've tried to whip up), not forgetting their looking out for me in simple ways, it was really... I'm at a loss for words.
Really thank God for blessing me with such awesome company. I just asked Him for a couple of Christian friends to encourage each other throughout these months, but look what I've found in just 2 weeks?! The wonders of simple, small prayers.
My Singaporean friends' 'rest & chill' routine, and generally Austria's tendency to relax (banks close at 3pm, on Sundays people disappear from streets and visit friends & family, people can take leave up to 30days in one go & go backpacking) makes me wonder why we're so different back home. Sunday involved a nice, lazy afternoon with a long lunch, kids from friends' families playing with each other, and after-lunch coffee. If only at home we can do less, know when to break and spend time with loved ones. I wish home was more like this...
Anyway I hope my Mandarin will improve in the following months. I need it at church a lot. haha. And I learnt some new terms in German today, from songs.
Kraft - The company famous for cheese? It means strength.
Ich liebe dich - I love you.
Thank you for keeping in touch. Till we meet again, tschews! Means goodbye.

Oh yes, how could I forget. The Singaporean couple and me.
