It seems that somebody just ordered a BMW car! I had the chance visit to the BMW Museum and BMW Welt in Munich lately. Together with some friends, we went there for sightseeing. The museum is located near the Olympiapark. I have been to this park last 2010 and we just passed-by BMW Museum and BMW World. We did not take the tour inside the museum due to lack of time. It is good that also have some old cars displayed on their lobby.
The BMW Museum, located opposite the BMW Welt. This was taken during our visit last May 18, 2012.
Known as the salad bowl or white cauldron, the silver futuristic building was designed by the architect of the BMW Headquarters, the Viennese professor Karl Schwanzer. The roughly circular base is only 20 meters in diameter, the flat roof about 40 metres.
I guess the BMW car will be delivered next month, not for me but for a friend. I am so happy for her.

You can see a lot of them in Madrid, Spain. The street artists and performers are scattering around in Madrid especially in Puerta del Sol and Plaza Mayor. One of my favorite street performers are the one who are playing live music in Puerta del Sol. Their music instruments are also good but if they buy Dunlop, I believed they will produce excellent sounds and music. I am trying to search the photos I took from this group but I just can’t find it now.
Just take a look at this very interesting artist in my photo here. This was taken in Puerta del Sol. He did a good job for this.

This is the St. Ullrich Parish Church in Hohenfels, a town in the Upper Palatinate region of Bavaria in Germany. The church’s construction was said to begin on 1721, as painted on the outside part of it. I always go to this church and always have the pleasure of looking on is beautiful frescos on its ceiling. I really admired the painters of this architecture. If I am not mistaken, the famous German painters named Asam brothers were the ones who painted it. Truly a great art!
The interior of St. Ullrich Church. Such a marvelous work of art!

Economic crisis is currently hitting the world. Inflation is happening to most countries. Others are still thinking where to invest their money because of this financial crisis. Would you think to buy gold online is a good way of investing your money? If I have the money now, I believed investing on gold is one of the best ways to do. Gold is a precious metal that keeps on appreciating not depreciating. In short, I go for gold!

I had the pleasure to visit Salzburg again for the fourth time. This time, I was with friends from the United States who are currently having a vacation in Europe. I toured them to the city of Salzburg last May 20, 2012. One of the sights we visited was Mirabell Palace.
Called as Schloss Mirabell in German, this building is a historical sight in Salzburg. It has a Baroque architecture with French and Italian models. It was commissioned by Archbishop Wolf Dietrich Raitenau in 1606.
Mirabell Palace is a popular location for wedding. In fact during our visit, there was a wedding ceremony that took place on its garden.
The Mirabell Palace with its beautiful garden. Several scenes from The Sound of Music were recorded here. Maria and the children sing ‘Do-Re-Mi’ while dancing around the horse fountain and using the steps as a musical scale.

In its geometrically-arranged gardens are mythology-themed statues dating from 1730 and four groups of sculpture (Eneas, Hercules, Paris and Pluton) by the Italian sculptor Ottavio Mosto, from 1690. It is noted for its boxwood layouts.
