It is inevitable! Winter is coming soon. I hope everyone did changed already their car tires from summer to winter. I heard over the news on the radio that early in the morning today, there were already drivers who were victimized by icy roads. This is quite dangerous.
Since winter is almost here, are you ready with your winter gadgets? Yes, I do! All my winter jackets, long shirts, winter boots and shoes are already prepared to be worn.
Just sharing an image from last year’s winter.

one of my favorite scenes nearby our place. such a beautiful view of nature! Isn’t it like in fairytale?

This is not a so big palace or castle like Neuschwanstein but it is very beautiful. Alone its location and surrounding is also nice. The Linderhof Palace was built by King Ludwig II of Bavaria. It is located near Ettal Abbey near near Oberammergau in southwest Bavaria, Germany.
I normally don’t want to go inside the palace because as the time I knew that pictures are not allowed to take inside its premises, it already discouraged me. Thanks to good friends who encouraged me.
I was truly amazed by the architecture and wood carvings, frescos, paintings and decorations inside. What also caught my eyes are the so-called Hall of Mirrors. This room was used by King Ludwig II as some kind of living room. He enjoyed sitting in the niche, sometimes reading there the whole night. Because Ludwig II used to sleep in the daytime and stay awake in the night, the mirrors created an unimaginable effect for him when they reflected the light of the candles a thousand times. The parallel placement of some mirrors evoke the illusion of a never ending avenue.

I thought I can lose some excess weight when taking a vacation. This is because I have to always walk and walk while doing the sightseeing tours. I was wrong. In fact, I found out that I always gain more pounds after each vacation. I need one of those top appetite suppressants to prevent me from eating a lot. Yes, I admit that I always have good appetite especially when the foods being served are my favorites.
This happened during our Turkey trip last month. There were always a lot of foods served on the table. Breakfast and dinner buffets were always available. I miss those food but now I am thinking to slow down since winter is almost coming…or else I might explode. I hope I can already start and materialize my diet plan.

If I see places like this, I always remember home. I miss the sunshine..I miss the sea, the waves from the ocean, the sunset, the food and my family. Nice, a big city in French Riviera is such a beautiful place. It is called as Nizza in Greek and Nissa in Italian. Nice is the fifth most populous city in France.
There are still a lot of things that I did not see and experience in this city. That is the reason why I still want to visit again in the future.

Time truly flies so fast. It’s been a year now since I visited Wiesbaden. I went there together with some friends who spent a vacation in Europe. One of the places they visited was Germany. I met them in Frankfurt and stayed with them for five days.
One of the cities I introduced to them is Wiesbaden. a city in southwest Germany and the capital of the federal state of Hesse. Wiesbaden is one of the oldest spa towns in Europe. Its name literally means “meadow baths”. At one time, Wiesbaden boasted 27 hot springs.
