Budapest & Prague =p

Oops, realized I haven't been blogging for a while. Have been ill after Prague, and the cold weather (plus being surrounded by kebabs, pizzas, kebabs, pizzas, kebabs .. you get the idea) doesn't exactly help.

Did you know Budapest comprises a fusion of 2 cities - Buda & Pest? It's lame, yeah. They're separated by the Danube River. Oh yes, and Budapest is called Bu2 Da3 Pei4 Si1 in Mandarin. Yepz. Prague is named Bu1 La1 Ge2 (sounds like Iraq in Chinese) - Chinese just improved by 1% eh!

Anyway here're the pictures!

BUDAPEST


A famous bridge. Whose name I forgot... hurhur. Notice the lion sculpture doesn't have a tongue. It's rumoured that the sculptor killed himself cause of that mistake. *Shakes head*



A fancy restaurant with a violinist! Probably have to pay like $100 per pax in Singapore for this man.









Am particularly proud of this photo. Can you see the colour manipulation done here? I didn't know PowerShot was quite so powerful! :)






PRAGUE
I loved Prague. Actually people were always saying You have to go Prague... Prague is a must. They were being over-enthusiastic fairy-tale mongers I figured, but (only) after visiting the Old Town Square then I could see where they were coming from. It's not that fantastic, but certainly one of the better places I've seen!




Nice. Pretty.








The prettiest.
A wedding under the famous gastronomical clock church.

Okay, till we meet again!! Chaoz :)
