Flowers and me


Today I have been to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2013 which is a pretty big event though 
this is the 100th years they are held for since 1913 to 2013
it basically has garden shows , show off plants and flowers, gain ideas from the designers for outdoor living areas
well, I didn't see any young people in the show ... -.-
all I could see was older people like my mum's age, maybe my mum would love this flower show because she loves gardening a lot, ha!
besides that, I heard that the first day of the show, the queen paid a visit . I don't know who else came too, couldn't recognize the face, perhaps some local artists ? I just saw lots of cameras and videos recorders were on them. lol
anyway , non of my business.. still, enjoy looking at my flowers. haha
I saw many different kind of plants maybe I should say some of them were pretty weird looking. Lol 
never in my life I saw this kind of plant in my life. 
well, I will upload some of the pictures soon!
all the flowers were really beautiful and vibrant with colours 
look at the picture itself, can see I like pinky flowers though. Lol 
*Look at my face, as if I was trying to steal, ngekngek!*

That's all for today, upload one of my best candid picture first okayyy :P
I just done my exam today, like finally done. Omg, this is why the reason I miss blogging so much
can't wait to blog moreeeeeeeeeeeee

P/s : I don't know what title to put, so I just simply title it "flower & me"? I know it sounds weird. brain not functioning well, I'm too tired. 

blog again soon
xx

Germany trip - Munich

This is the first time for me to visit Germany, 
I flew from London to Munich first then to Berlin
I didn't spend time at Frankfurt and Hamburg, thinking it might waste more money on hotels so I just choose to go to these two main cities
I really have to save a lot to travel because there are really so many countries waiting for me to travel!
I wana walk through the every corner of the Europe, I will try my best to achieve this :(
so I go budget all the way, because my purpose is to see the country
not spending a fortune on luxury hotels, spas and limos to travel around. Lolol 
if I have the money, well I don't mind... if only I have, hahaha!

I spent 4 days in Germany, 2 days each in one city
I found all my hotels and flights from the cheapest I could get on the website
and yeah .... 
I even booked my free tour from Sandeman's New Europe 
it is totally free, this is what I found when I did some research on the websites before I go to Germany
Research of the country is very important! 
you might find a lot of helpful informations on where you should go, what you should do.. 
so the free tour I was talking about, its totally free but it's up for you to tip the tour guide if you really like the tour session 
well, I did really liked it !
not only tour for Munich, but also Madrid, London, Prague, Barcelona and many more... 
maybe when I go to other countries, I would join this free tour again :D
because I joined the free tour too in Berlin as well!

Start our journey in Munich 
while waiting for bus
thank god I learnt a little bit of German before when I was in undergraduate programme
that's why I could still read and understand what was on the sign board and understanding the local

typical tourist looking on the map finding my way

I still think London tube is much better and newer, haha


BMW GROUP & HEADQUARTERS

this is one of the landmark of Munich 
they actually allow public to visit the factory but it needed to be book in advance 
I was too late to book, so I just visited the showroom
so here we go for the lovers of these luxury cars










Behind me is the BMW headquarters which is also called BMW four cylinder 

When I was inside the BMW Welt.. trying to spot some nice cars or what , haha!

I have no idea where was I 
this is what happen when you visited too many places in one time and you forgot all the names
I tried to find in google but I couldn't even remember what is this building behind me , damn

so just me and the idk building :X

I like this sun roof in the bus, feeling cool. hahahaha

and they gave me the leaflet for renting luxury cars 
oh well... Look at the price, lol

 Karlsplatz (Stachus) central of Munich which is one of the shopping street 



then , passed by this restaurant which filled with lots of people especially the locals
so I thought it should be nice though since the restaurant was so busy
it was one of the Munich's best bavarian restaurant, well this is what I heard


so actually I did homework at home before I came to Germany 
like which local food is a must try ..
so the one above is called Leberkase which is highly recommended

White sausages

Pork knuckle



Munich Residence & National Theatre behind me
the left is the Munich Residence
the right is the National Theatre


This is the National Theatre

This is the Glockenspiel which is located at the centre heart of Marienplatz

Church of St. Peter


Everyone was watching Glockenspiel, where music came alive on the time of 11am which attracts huge crowd of tourists like me :D



Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady)

Interior of the Church




One of the shopping mall which I think the interior was really cool 


The Feldhenrrnhalle ( Memorial to Bavarian Generals )


Behind me is the Theatinerkirche, Theatine Church


Well.... I think this is cool for an advertisement

Leberkase with bread 

Hofbrauhus the famous beer hall
during the Oktoberfest I was told this place is going to be really crowded !
and ya... another best time to come to Germany is during the end of September where Oktoberfest starts
to beer lovers, I think that is a great time for to try many types of beer



History of Hofbrauhaus


Viktualienmarkt is a daily food market and square at the centre of Munich











Maypole in Viktualienmarkt
