Konstanz, Deutschland 19 April 2017

Konstanz, Deutschland

After Basel, the 4 of us explored a place called Konstanz in the southern of Germany. We crossed the border of Switzerland and went all the way to Germany. I attached a screenshot of Google Maps which shows the location of Konstanz. Hope It will help to give you some idea.

With the lessons I learnt, I did prepare for the weather since it was a day with light snow. I come from Malaysia, a tropical country. Spring is a season which I like it and hate it at the same time. I developed a love-hate situation with Spring. It could be sunny and warm but in a blink of time it could change and become cloudy and chilly. I didn't believe it when my host parents told me it would snow in May until I witnessed it. 


We spent 2 hours (or more) of travelling in a train from Switzerland to Germany. When the train reached the platform in Germany, the sky started to show us its magic and it snowed. Snowflakes hit me in the face and I could eat it just by opening my mouth. We walked as fast as possible into the train station. The snowfall didn't stop in a short time so we decided to continue our journey, ignoring the snow. 


The snowfall stopped when we had lunch. 
To-do list: eat ice cream in winter
YESSSSS, I DID IT! It wasn't a big goal but my little wish. As you can see, I was wearing my down jacket :) Jessie didn't bring her winter jacket and she wore mine.


It wasn't special. But the houses were different from those in Switzerland, that's why I took a picture of it.

Jessie and Enson went back earlier than Marvin and I. So we left our footsteps here. I love visiting old places and I dragged Marvin to come with me. 


LO.Ok at those organs


Each church tells a story; Each picture tells a story too.


After dinner, we walked along the lake, not to enjoy the view but just to walk. We were at a place which couples locked their love locks up. And we made jokes of it. We laughed about nothing. And suddenly it snowed without warning. We opened our mouth and ate snow. It tasted nothing.

A short day in Konstanz.   - The End -



thanks for reading :)

神奇的旅行 第六章

第六章 俗语说：“经一事，长一智。”时予经历了两次转换，第三次她安全着地。‘殷时予，干得不错！’时予忍不住称赞自己，前几次都摔得不像样。 眼前出现了一栋房子，构造竟然与时予经常想象的一模一样。时予先是吃惊，再来是觉得很神奇。既然是时予的梦境，这栋房子应该是属于时予的。她擅自打开了门，房子里面也和时予想象的如出一辙。 “小予，你回来了。” 时予听到一个熟悉又陌生的声音在耳畔轻轻地响起，就像幻听一样不真实。 “小予，有你最喜欢的蛋糕，要吃吗？” 爸爸久违的身影缓缓的从厨房走出来。他还是穿着他最爱的白色 T 恤和牛仔裤，腰上依然是妈妈送的皮带。爸爸的脸上带着他特有的笑容。时予身体僵硬，无法动弹。 “爸……”她轻轻地唤了一声许久都没有呼唤过的名字。 “哦，爸爸在呢。怎么了？你别哭啊，谁欺负你了吗？告诉爸爸好吗？别哭。” “我没有在哭啊。没有人欺负我。” 不听话的是眼泪。眼泪自己流出来了。时予也无法控制的。时予想象过无数个与爸爸相见，向他询问真相的场景。没想到竟是在梦境。 “爸，你去哪儿了？你怎么在这里？你知道这里是哪里吗？” “快坐下，爸爸慢慢说给你听，不急。” 时予围着小餐桌，仔细听爸爸诉说一直未解开的谜团。爸爸的声音低沉，但听起来却是格外的舒服。或许在每个人心中，父母的声音都是最自然、听起来最舒服的。虽然有时候会被妈妈唠叨，但还是会习惯属于妈妈特有的唠叨。某天，那把声音不在耳边唠叨了，反而会觉得浑身不适。 儿时的时予最爱缠着爸爸，让他说故事给时予听。逐渐长大后，时予开始独立，也疏远了爸爸的故事。爸爸去世后，时予最后悔没有多听点爸爸的声音。深夜未眠时，爸爸的声音总是像梦魇一样，挥之不去。 此时此刻，时予不想从梦里醒来了。梦醒后，爸爸就不在了。梦不醒，妈妈很伤心。梦啊梦，为什么让时予掉入这个世界呢？ “爸爸真正的死因，其实你妈妈是知情的。可是你妈为你着想，决定一个人扛着，她认为你还不够坚强，能够接受真正的事实。” “为什么？我已经长大了，我很坚强的，妈妈为什么不想让我知道呢？” “小予，在你妈眼里，你一辈子也长不大，永远都是她的孩子。她不想让你知道，自有她的原因。爸爸告诉你，好吗？” “求之不得！” “我不是自杀而是被他人杀。杀我的人是我的女同事，那个与我一起丧命的女...

Lötchberg Südrampe 17 April 2017

Lötchberg Südrampe The following day after the castle of Lenzburg, I went to the Canton of Wallis with Patrik. www.myswitzerland.com/en-ch/hohtenn-lalden-hiking-classics-on-loetschberg-mountain.html I don't remember where did we start our walk but I am sure that we stopped at the station which called Ausserberg. It was not a difficult walk for me. Here is a sharing of thoughts. I like hiking because of the freedom of it. Without the help of watch, without knowing the exact time, I eat when I feel hungry, I stop when I feel tired. I don't have to bother about anything, just have to be careful when I hike. Hiking makes me feel like as if everything is returned to its origin, nothing is complicated. Maybe it is due to my subconcious of wanting to escape from the busy city life, I really enjoy myself when I am in between the beautiful mountains and hills. Hope you enjoy the following pictures! The railway  The valley The people of this c...

Erste Woche in der Schweiz

Image
To be honest, I didn't realise that when the first week of me in Switzerland just passed. Personally, I think due to the diet change, I became healthier than I was in Malaysia. I usually started my day with a simple breakfast such as cereal with milk and half of an apple. Lunch would be grains and vegetables of the day. Various types of cheese with bread and a cup of warm tea would be my dinner. I had 8 hours of sleep for the first week. I was very lucky because I don't experience jetlag. The nearest bus stop to my house I really like it  A selfie :) An English garden where I have to walk through in order to go to school Favourite class break snack XD I didn't understand it but now I think I can The first snow in my life. 28th Feb 2017. I woke up to this snow. NOTE : TO SOMEONE, who watches the first snow with me in winter of 2017 I will like to go on a date with you.
