Where I Would Like To Go… (Rather Than Sitting Here at Home)
Been too busy to blog much (you all know why lah), but since my good friend Simon took the trouble to tag me to do this, I thought I'll indulge him on this one :)
Since most people already know of my penchant for Ireland & NZ, I'll go for .....Austria!
I think almost everyone above 30 must have been captivated by the fantastic mountain scenery of The Sound of Music when they were younger, and I was no exception. But what really did it for me was a movie and a tv series -- Before Sunrise and Band of Brothers.
In the former, Vienna looked absolutely gorgeous and romantic as the two main characters wandered through it in a day and a night. Watch it and you'll find yourself itching to take the next flight out there.
In the later, in the final episode the weary band of brothers finally got to take some well deserved R&R in the most amazing surroundings of the Austrian countryside. Watch out for the final scene of the soldiers playing baseball amidst the towering mountains of the Alps.

"The hills... are alive... with the..."
austria....yeah i do agree with u that this country is great especially the scenery of the mountain. I have been to one of the mountain top using cable car (not like Genting with canopy...its only had the seat and handle!!)near Innsbruck in 2002 (I attend my sister's wedding in Germany that time). The scenery is very beautiful and the air is cool around 2-3 degree Celcius. I can send some pictures to you if you want. Just let me know ok....:)
