Going Golling


GOLLING AN DER SALZACH FALLS

Sunday morning couldn’t have started better.  Companion and I went to the Gölling waterfalls at the edge of the town. It is the source of the Salzach. The atmosphere was fairly calm and not super-touristy. We aimed to hike up the water feature at our pace. The final peak was indeed spectacular. Water gushed out the ledge and we could feel the splashes. The horse-tail punch bowl waterfall really blew us out of our minds! We took some time at the local cafe to try out some Topfenstrudel & Apfelstrudel. I gotta say, my Topfenstrudel was unexpectedly delicious.
The Golling's majestic water display. 


The long way down from the hike. 

Scenery that is sold on pictures, I saw it up-close.

Another postcard-worthy snap. 



In the midst of exquisite beauty.
Amazing rock formation underneath the Golling.

Bustling in Bangkok

Having travelled all over the world, I'm embarrassed to admit that I have not had the chance to visit my own neighbour, Thailand until I was 33. Come International Muay Thai Day in Bangkok, I decided to catch the "Muay Thai Live: The Legend Live" show at the Asiatique Bangkok arena in early 2019. I was left speechless at how these incredibly fit fighters managed to execute every move without fail. Lots of somersaults, fight simulation and high jumps were incorporated in the theatrics of the performance. No one was allowed to film inside the auditorium so I am not able to give you a preview on what the show was all about. Basically it is like a musical, except instead of singing and dancing, the performers fight each other. I did stick around for the actual muay thai matches after the show. The competitors were mostly teenagers, defending their provinces. Staying in Lumpinee, I got around with the help of Grab motorbikes- yep, they have Grab (e-hailing service in Southeast

Next Stop : Nürnberg!

Burger King in Nuremberg! Day Three of Road Trip: We fetched our would-be host from München to our next pitstop ---Nuremberg. I could see the synonymous word for this town originating from its dark history. The Nazi trials, museums and historical artifacts remains attached to this amazing castle-filled city. We headed to the stadium where former Nazi parades in its glory days took place. I even had the chance to stand at the same podium which Adolf used as his speech platform to embed his nasty propaganda to his audience. (goosebumps all over!) We then made our way to a coliseum-looking building which was an unfinished Hitler-project. The ruins remained in good condition but to our unfortunate timing, the Document museum was shut under renovation period. We then set foot on the Burger King which was built at an important city council building during the times of the American intervention (I call it intervention coz ppl here were obviously smoking something they shouldn't, wha
