Hello! Wonderful Austria!

bridge in Salzburg
My first city in Austria is Salzburg, the Mozart's hometown.
When I walked out of the train station, I saw the train officer giving red envelope. At that time I went to Austria is lunar new year. In Taiwan, we celebrate lunar new year. Lunar new year is our Christmas. It's a holiday for family. In lunar new year, the adults give red envelope to kids and the elders with their bless. So, when seeing the officers giving the red envelope, I took one as my first bless this year. In the red envelope, there were seeds! I love this idea!

From my hotel to city center, I passed a bridge. On the bridge, there were locks. I saw a lock for motorcycle.  It shocked me. And I believed this couple would be together forever. When the sun shined on the bridge, locks shined too. It was so beautiful! It was a pity that I missed the time when bell rang the Mozart's pieces.

When I left Salzburg, I met the cars from the wedding. It's noisy. But I still watched them passing and gave them my bless from heart.

exchange books station
We stayed in Bad Goisern for going to Hallstat. I didn't see many tourists even the residents. Here, I saw stars starring at night, music band who wears the costumes of crocodile and cute but a little aggressive ducks. I also saw a little place to put the books in and people can exchange books. I met that an old man put his books there and he also rearranged piles of books. I love this idea. I've seen similar idea in Taiwan. But it's providing free books to read in public, after reading, you need to put books back. It's more like smaller library. I hope this idea can show in Taiwan one day. Recently, I see  an idea, bringing a book from east-south Asia when traveling. In Taiwan, there is a lot of labor from east-south Asia.  Taiwanese travels a lot in east-south Asia. The value for this idea is to let these labors can enjoy reading, too. I hope, one day, these amazing ideas can show in whole Taiwan.

Ahead Hallstat. Hallstat is really famous in foreigners. I saw many tourists there. It's beautiful but too many tourists.
Hunderwasser House

amusement park
In Wien, I went to Hunderwasser House. I love its appearance! It's gorgeous and unique! I hope my house can be like this, beautiful, unique and art in life. I walked around in this city, went into a park and saw an equipment. At first, I saw it an  amusement facility, scarring type. But I found out that it was not scarring one. It was for seeing the city view. It's interesting for me. I never see this kind facility show in the park in Taiwan only near department stores,farris wheel or in amusement park. I only saw people playing ice skating.

Austria, a country I love. It's so comfortable.

beautiful flowers, beautiful eyes, nice pics


Recently, some old ladies sell flowers on the streets. They aren't like people who sells roses on the streets. They always stand on the streets, wait for you to talk to them actively. 2 euros for a bunch of flowers. Those flowers can rest for 2 days.  The flowers are beautiful. I like yellow flowers. These flowers lets me feel warm weather coming. I bought one. The lady told me warmly that I should put these flowers in the vase with water etc. When she was saying these, her eyes changed. I can feel her happiness in her eyes and she also like these flowers. When I came home, these flowers reminded me that we bought flowers to put in our house in Taiwan. Sometimes ,it was lily. Sometimes, it was ginger lily. I love the smelling.  Finally, I used the flowers as props when taking photos. Got some nice pics! When I go back to Taiwan, maybe I can use these pics to find some good models and keep taking good photos.

After 2 days, I met that lady again on the street. She was with grand-daughter ahead to the park. We smiled at each other. Another different type of friendship?
