<strong>Амстердам</strong> е като кръговете на дърво: става все по-стар, колкото повече се приближите до центъра. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Точно в сърцето на града, в една от привидно типичните за града тесни, високи, леко разкривени къщи, стоях в една прекрасна всекидневна – боядисана в блед бежов цвят; обзаведена със старинни мебели с изящна дърворезба; озарена от нежната дневна светлина, която идваше от прозореца към градината, отрупана с хортензии. <strong>Да, обстановката в дома на кмета беше наистина релаксираща, ако не броим виковете на екскурзовода, който ни подканваше да излизаме по-бързо.</strong> <br />

Може би ще сметнете за странно, че десетки групи с туристи се разхождаха из дома на кмета почти ненадзиравани. Всъщност, това не се случва всеки ден, или всяка година. Този уикенд се навършваха 400 години от построяването на каналите в Амстердам. В чест на което всички хотели бяха вдигнали цените си, а редица старинни сгради бяха отворили врати за посетители. <strong>От трезора на стара банка до вилите на видни холандци от близкото и далечно минало <span lang="bg-BG" xml:lang="bg-BG">-</span> аз можех да посетя, каквото си пожелая,</strong> стига да имам търпението да почакам на опашка. Противно на популярното мнение, че на Амстердам подхожда един необуздан уикенд сред трева и проститутки, аз се потопих в атмосферата на една отминала епоха под звуците на живо изпълнение на цигулка. <br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
Истината е, че не помня точно колко време прекарахме в Амстердам, защото всичко се случваше като на кино. Помня как получих небивал прилив на енергия само с пристигането <span lang="bg-BG" xml:lang="bg-BG">с</span>и. Беше малко преди полунощ, вечерта на един изморителен ден. Но само докато търсехме хостела <span lang="bg-BG" xml:lang="bg-BG">с</span>и, се оживих подобно на улиците в квартала на червените фенери. Мястото беше зашеметяващо, пълно с хора и тълпата сякаш те понасяше. И ти тръгваш с нея и се опияняваш от атмосферата, от романтиката на града, от шумните разговори и от миризмата на трева и пържени картофи. Кварталът кипеше от живот, особено вечер. <br />
<br />

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
В този квартал аз разбрах, че <strong>обожавам вкуса на всички холандски сирена</strong> (а повярвайте ми, те са много), особено когато те са използвани за приготвянето на фондю. Първото ми вкусване на този швейцарски деликатес беше последвано от емоционална реакция, много „ммм“ и екзистенциалния въпрос: „Къде е било това ястие през целия ми живот?“. Холандските сирена, или както местните ги наричат – "каас", са прочути по цял свят. <strong>Едам, Маасдам и Гауда носят имената на холандски градове, в които са били продавани от векове. За производството на Гауда, едно от най-старите сирена, има сведения от края на <span lang="bg-BG" xml:lang="bg-BG">12-и</span> век!</strong> </div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
В този квартал научих, че <strong>влюбването и разлюбването траят всяко около 3 минути.</strong> А между двете стои период от ден до няколко седмици. В моя случай седмиците бяха <span lang="bg-BG" xml:lang="bg-BG">две</span>. Първата от тях беше особено вълнуваща – с всеки ден от нея намирах нови причини защо италианецът на рецепцията в хостела ни е най-прекрасният мъж на света. Той беше италианец, беше живял в Италия, говореше италиански и умееше да приготвя италианска храна. Да, любовта често е нелепа. През втората седмица, вече на 2159 км (разстоянието между София и Амстердам) от обекта на моите желания реших, че той не е толкова очарователен; че не бих искала мъжа ми да работи на рецепцията на хостел; че 50% от италианската кухня включва паста, а аз дори не обичам паста. </div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
В този квартал доказах, че <strong>най-добре е да се смееш шумно и неудържимо.</strong> Накрая ти става смешно от собственото ти поведение и ти остава една добра история за цял живот. Бонусът в Амстердам е, че никой няма да те сметне за странен. Най-лошото, което могат да си помислят е, че си напушен турист. <br />

В този квартал се убедих, че градоустройството е от изключително значение. Фактът, че <strong>хостелът беше разположен точно до магазин за трева, показваше как архитектурата тук е в услуга на хората.</strong> За всеки случай, от другата страна на магазина имаше полицейски участък. Също толкова добро планиране показваха множеството алеи за велосипедисти. Още през 70-те години на миналия век холандските политици решили, че колоезденето е безопасен и удобен транспорт в градски условия. <strong>Днес около 60% от пътуванията в Амстердам се извършват на колело.</strong> </div>

<strong>В този квартал се роди бизнес идеята ми за сини фенери в София, където телата си ще продават мускулести мъже.</strong> Тази дръзка мисъл ме осени, когато една (минимум) пияна холандка ме попита защо на червените фенери има изкушения за мъжете, а нищо за жените. Съчувствено аз я поканих на родна земя, където ще бъде прелъстен и нежният пол. Истината е, че и аз се наслаждавах на червените фенери, въпреки че не съм мъж и намирах мястото за малко зловещо. Но с всяка изминала вечер започвах да свиквам с Амстердам и със странностите му. И с всяка изминава вечер всичко ми изглеждаше все по-нормално и все по-хубаво. Толкова хубаво, че когато ме питаха къде съм отседнала, гордо отговарях, че живея в квартала на червените фенери. Хостелът ни наистина беше там. Но едва ли някой би помислил, че някоя източноевропейка е отседнала в този район без да изкарва прехраната си в него. Знаех това, но ми беше забавно и за мен нямаше значение какво мислят другите. Тази свобода, това чувство, че нищо не е фатално или особено важно, това ще ми липсва. За това чувство бих се върнала в Амстердам. <br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;">Вкусно, лесно, бързо, домашно приготвено и здравословно. Тази рецепта е страхотен начин да включите спанака в диетата си. Листният зеленчук е добър за храносмилането, подхранва очите и костите. Освен това, приготвеният спанак е шест пъти по-полезен за хората, отколкото пресния.</span><br />

С миксер разбиваме сирената, млякото, маслото и яйцата. Добавяме поизстиналия спанак и разбъркваме.</span></div>

It
took me just a few days in Bilbao to realise that stereotypes are sometimes
completely useless.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
Firstly,
just because you’re going to spend your summer in Spain, it doesn’t mean that
you don’t need a jacket. Especially if it’s the North of Spain we’re talking
about. But the resemblance to the chilly and rainy UK started and finished with
the weather. For instance, the whole region boasts with the best quality of
food in the world. Looking back to all my meals during my three-week stay in
Bilbao, I could easily agree with that statement.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
Secondly,
not all Spanish people are unpunctual. From my experience, people from the
South of the country don’t really consider 2-hour delay as a lack of
punctuality. All Basque people, though, seem to have Swiss watches. This just
proves that country-based stereotypes don’t make much sense when there are so
many diversities within each country.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
But
sometimes, stereotypes are completely true. The one that states that Spanish
people speak really fast is a perfect example. This reminds me of a philosophy
someone once shared with me: You should know stereotypes, just to be prepared
for what you should expect. But you should also be open-minded, so that you can
see past stereotypes and accept that every person has the potential to be an
exception.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
With
that being said, here are a few additional stereotypes for people in the Basque
country.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
<o:p></o:p><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
Basques
are the type of people you don’t easily make friends with. But once you do,
it’s a great friendship they can offer you.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
Basque
men don’t really like to dance.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
Basque
women play it hardest than any other females in Spain. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
Basque
people love sports. This one is something I’m pretty convinced of myself.
Biking, paddle tennis and pelota vasca (Basque ball) seemed to be quite
popular. The last mentioned is a lot more complex than what it seems. It
involves a lot of strategic thinking. The players also need to have strong arms
as the ball is said to be very heavy. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
Basques
also believe that they are living in the best place possible. They have both
mountains and beaches close by. They have industries, and therefore more jobs
than anywhere else in Spain. They produce great food and have amazing national
cuisine. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
These
are the stereotypes, but they surely don’t make up the real picture. Still, the
last one I mentioned should be enough to make you want to see for yourself.
After all, you’ll never know until you try! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
P.S.
Just a tip from someone who has tried: the food is really worth it.<o:p></o:p></div>

Anime
is probably the most loved “Made in Japan” thing. All across the world, there
are fans, literally addicted to the animated productions. Nonetheless, this is not
the only trait of Japanese culture that has won the hearts of many. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Sushi,
in literal translation means “sour-tasting”. Considering how popular it has
become, you can agree with me when I say it can also mean “delicious-tasting”. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Norimaki
is one of the most popular types of sushi. Vinegared rice and dried seaweed
sheets, wrap around an endless possibility of ingredients. I really felt
inspired and ready to unleash my creativity, while making the popular sushi
rolls. Here is my recipe!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
For
the rice:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
100g
rice<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
250ml
water<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
6 T
rice vinegar<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
4 T
sugar<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
1 t
of salt<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Rinse
the rice. Put it in the saucepan with the water. Wait for it until it starts
boiling and then change the heat to a low setting. In 10-15 mins the rice
should have soaked up the water. It’s best if you don’t lift up the cover until
the rice is ready.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Put
the rice vinegar in a heated pan. Add salt and vinegar and stir occasionally
until they dissolve. Then pour the mixture into a bowl and mix it with the
rice. Remember to stir with a wooden spoon.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<o:p><br /></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
Once
you’ve prepared the rice, you have to spread it out with wet hands on the
seaweed sheet. Then, the fun begins! <o:p></o:p></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">During my 4 weeks in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Spain</st1:place></st1:country-region>, I had a
couple of phrases I would always use:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“Please, speak slowly”–
because Spanish people speak on a fast-forward.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“Tell me, which city do you
prefer: <st1:state w:st="on">Madrid</st1:state> or <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Barcelona</st1:place></st1:city>?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Unexpectedly, </span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext;">l</span><span style="color: windowtext;">os Españoles</span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> found fulfilling the second
request a lot harder. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">They are just two options,
but as most people pointed: “they are too different to compare”. <st1:state w:st="on">Madrid</st1:state> is culturally and architecturally superior,
boasting with some of the best castles and museums in <st1:place w:st="on">Europe</st1:place>. <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Barcelona</st1:city></st1:place>
offers great night life, beaches and excellent weather.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">After visiting both cities, I
found myself unsure how to answer my own question. I guess the cities are really
not meant to be compared. While <st1:state w:st="on">Madrid</st1:state>
captivated my mind, <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Barcelona</st1:place></st1:city>
stole my heart. It wasn’t as much about the place as the experiences and people
I relate it to. Nevertheless, this city surely gives you enough charming sites.
Here are a few suggestions of places where you might want to make some
memories. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The <b>Gothic Neighbourhood</b> of
Barcelona can be extremely charming, especially at night. When the daylight
changes to street-lights, tourists switch from cameras to cocktails. Either
way, the small, winding streets are full of life, excitement and noise. If
you’re lucky enough, you may find yourself in one of the cleverly-designed pubs
that are transformed into a lush jungle or an ice cave.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;"><b>Park Guell</b> is full of works
of the famous Catalan architect – Antoni Gaudi. Benches covered in colourful
mosaics, buildings with peculiar pinnacles on top, tree-like columns and the
popular salamander, all make the atmosphere of this place unique. Plus, there
are some gorgeous flowers and a precious view to the city. Looking from above,
the skyline is dominated by the spires of Gaudi’s most celebrated jewel –
Sagrada Familia. When he was designing the top of this building, people were
curious why he was putting so much effort into something that would never be
seen from up close. After all, their tops go as high as 120m in the sky. In
response, the architect said that people may not see the tops, but angels will.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">At <b>Montjuic</b> you can get some
of the prettiest shots from above. It’s also the perfect place for a nice day
out. The biggest sights on the hill are the <st1:placetype w:st="on">Castle</st1:placetype>
of <st1:placename w:st="on">Montjuic</st1:placename>, the Olympic stadium and
the National <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">museum</st1:placetype>
of <st1:placename w:st="on">Catalan</st1:placename></st1:place> art. What
charmed me the most about this place were the so called “Magic fountains”. Beams
of coloured light and some dance music, transform the flow of water into a
truly magical experience. The amount of people going up and down the stairs to
enjoy the show is immense. I remember asking my Chinese friend “Do you feel
like at home”, while we were finding our way through a big crowd. “Yes,” – she said
– “it’s like <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Beijing</st1:place></st1:city>
on a calm day.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

all, you will, too, fall in love with this place.</span><br />

They say you haven’t been to Madrid if you haven’t walked
down Gran Via. They also say you become a madrilèño once you’ve stayed for 24h
in the city. Based on these statements, I am 4.7 times a citizen of Madrid. But
above all, I am a traveller who is eager to share stories. <o:p></o:p></div>

My first taste, literally, of the Spanish capital was a
croissant in one Museo de Jamon. In contrast to what you know from French
culture, here this delicious pastry is filled with ham, cheese, egg, tomato or
whatever you choose. The result is equally delicious with the chocolate
original. The so-called “Museum of Ham” is actually one of the cheapest and
most signature places to eat in Madrid. As the name suggest, it offers a large
variety of different hams. Another typically Spanish thing to try is a
montadito. It is a small sandwich with all types of fillings. Actually, 100
types some of which are even sweet. The cost varies from 1 to 2 euros per one.
Which means this is an excellent way to sample different tastes. Another popular food on the sweet side of the spectrum is chocolate con churros. Long friend bread pieces were dipped in thick hot chocolate. I had this as a light dinner on my last day.</div>

My first actual tour of the city started at Puerta del Sol. The
only square in Madrid that is not called plaza. It got its name from a Gate
that had a big Sun on top of it. This was the first thing you see when you
enter the city walls. Nowadays, this is not the edge of Madrid, but it’s heart.
It has the fame of a place where people can come and speak up. Thing is, it
tends to be filled with more cartoon characters than free-minded speakers. <o:p></o:p></div>

Quite near-by is the hotel Posada del Peine. It’s named after
the combs, tied to the walls of each room. That was a preventive measure
against stealing, as the people who stayed here were very poor. Which reminds
me - modern hotels are not a far cry from this with the mounted blow dryers. <o:p></o:p></div>

Plaza Mayor is a Madrid must-see. It is an 18<sup>th</sup> century
masterpiece that came to life after numerous fires of the former buildings. On
the back of the benches at the square, you can see its history engraved. The
use of this place varies from a market to a bull-fighting arena and execution
setting. <o:p></o:p></div>

A not so varied application had the Palacio Real, the
official residence of the Spanish Royal family. It’s appearance, however, is
different from what it once was. The balustrade on the top of the palace once
had statues of kinds in the place of the flowerpots. Legend has it, that the
mother of Carlos III had a nightmare that one of the statues will fall over and
kill her. So they were taken down and some of them ended up in the gardens on
side of the palace. You can see that the sculptures are not very detailed.
After all, they were supposed to be seen from a distance.</div>

Similarly, the cathedral of Santa Maria de la Almudena was
not finished in great detail. Some claim that its façade was made plain so it
won’t steal the glory of the Royal Palace. A more likely theory, though,
explains its simplicity with the lack of finance. By the end of the day, I had
learned that the deficiency of money has often defined the architectural
appearance of buildings in Madrid. I guess Spanish people were never very good
at accounting.</div>

One thing they seem to have always been excellent at is
food. Even queen Elisabet II would agree with me. She was famous for dining out
quite often and quite a lot. In one restaurant she even left her corset, which
obstructed her for fully enjoying a meal. I really want to finish with: “Been
there, done that.” but truth is I’ve never owned a corset. <o:p></o:p></div>

Being a serious food taster, I had come to the city perfectly prepared. Some recommendations from local food-lovers had me sorted with bars and restaurants for the next month.

There are three places that I left with no guilt about what I’ve eaten. Not that they were falling into my diet plan, but the food was just too good to regret. <o:p></o:p></div>

<i>‘Sun Moon’</i> is a vegan/ vegetarian bakery that offers a nice variety of delicious dishes, breads and healthy sweets. The smell of freshly-made pizzas just filled the whole place. All I could do was – to order. I went for a vegetable dish with some rice and nuts. It had the lovely taste of a home-made dish.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I liked this bakery because it offers health-conscious meals and desserts that do not fail to impress. Definitely worth a visit if “grass” can feed you – as my brother describes vegetarian food.<br />

This last place is one I left quite a few times. It was our signature end of the day: <i>'Gelateria Confetti'</i>. The outside garden leaves you with the pleasant feeling that you’re somewhere on the Mediterranean coast: paved street, an olive tree and wooden window shutters. On the inside, the playful mixture of mismatching chairs gave the place a more relaxed feeling. We not only switched between tables, but also between types of desserts. Smooth ice cream in different flavours, blueberry-coffee or walnut cheesecake, éclair cake … you name it! After so many varying desserts, I think I can give a decent general review. Everything I tried was sweet but light. The kind of dessert you have after a meal without feeling it’s too much. </div>

No matter how charming and eye-pleasing the setting of all restaurants was, nothing can compare to the food market. A cluster of stalls full of fresh, organic produce. I was enjoying the colours, the mixed smell of seasonal fruits and the cheerful people who were all certain their cherries are the best on the market. <o:p></o:p></div>

In this week of leisure, I fully enjoyed any delicious temptation. Still, none of the meals was as delightful as the company I had. Between and while having all those tasty indulgences, I met with many friends I haven’t seen in months or years. It’s fair to say: the best meal is the shared one. If everyone has their own portion, that is.<o:p></o:p></div>

I friend of mine recently said: <i>“You meet the best people
when you travel”</i>. Despite the fact that she paid a compliment to herself as we
have met on a trip to France, she’s right. I do not always keep in touch with
all the people I meet while travelling, but I keep in my heart a memory of the
fun we had together.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is a story about my trip to Dublin. It is also a story
about 3 types of travel buddies: the ones you meet and never see again; the
ones you add on Facebook but rarely speak to; and those special ones that you
still talk to even when your trip is over. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Around 4am in the morning, I was waiting at a bus station
with two other passionate travellers. Just like the first girl, I love Europe
and immersing myself in the culture of each country. Just like the second, I
dream of going East. The difference was, she could go to extremes. At
the age of 16, she visited Japan in a rather peculiar way. Between the nights
at McDonald’s and the hitchhiker days on the road, she stayed hungry for food
to satisfy her thirst for experiences. Although I admired her passion, her bravery seemed rather foolish to me. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A bus ride and a slept-through flight later, I opened my
eyes in Dublin. The day was just starting and I already felt drenched. During
the next 12 hours, I fought with my need for a rest. As a reward, I got one of
those special travel buddies, a visit to a place I’ve dreamt of seeing, a new
love, a home-made gelato and another slightly weird Facebook friend.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Trinity College Library</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Numerous amazing photos have made me wish I could step into
the Long room of Ireland’s biggest library. It is an 18<sup>th</sup> century
masterpiece holds over 200K of the library’s oldest books. Along the central
walkway of the room, I met quite a few of my best travel buddies – Socrates,
Aristotle, Plato.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The most well-known
holding in the library is the Book of Kells, which has been created by
Christian monks of the Kells monastery in Scotland. <o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Una gelateria italiana</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In Temple Bar, the old colorific neighbourhood, I felt like
in Italy. Narrow, winding streets full of lively tourists and small shops. In
that charming area of central Dublin, I found my way to some home-made ice
cream in an Italian-run gelateria. My intuition had not misled me!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>An American passport</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This Facebook friend I mentioned is an American that was
naïve enough to show me his passport. I seized the moment and stole it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
No, I didn’t really. But I surely wished I had one of those
small picture books. Each and every page had colour photographs of some
distinctive American symbols. I found this fascinating, holding my bland,
boring passport. Next time you meet an US travel buddy, check out their
documents!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>New love</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was a love at first sight: a love, with the English-like order,
the Mediterranean charm, the friendly people and the gorgeous parks of Dublin.
Needless to say, I recommend you visit the city.</div>

passing by. It was not the first time a foreigner would wonder what language I
speak. The previous time, a man had guessed it’s Gaelic with an Italian accent.
It was neither one of these. In fact, Bulgarian sounds nothing like them.<o:p></o:p></div>

In the heart of Camden town, it
was buzzing with the sounds of various languages. I could easily distinguish
Spanish, Italian, French ... Here, amongst the large variety of foreigners, it
did not matter what I spoke or where I came from. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18pt;">
This was my second time in
London, but my first time on the streets of the city’s largest open-air market.
Never before had I encountered with such a diversity of people. From riches,
like the ones who brought me here, to rags that were hanging about – there was
literally a piece of everything here. Similarly, the shops were an odd mixture
of brands like Vans, Converse, etc and market-type stalls with Chinese goods.
This place confused me almost as much as it amused me. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18pt;">
In a completely different part of
the city, less than 2 hours later, I was having my first go at something else –
Indian food. Although it offered little variety for vegetarians or people who
cannot stand spicy food, I still enjoyed my rise with vegetables, some sauces
and delicious garlic potatoes. The table, however, was flooded with food.
Everything was served in different bowls so you can mix whatever you’d like in
your plate. I wasn’t really a part of passing the bowls and complaining about
how spicy everything is. I was, however, a part of something much better - the
common laugher. <o:p></o:p><br />

After dinner, I was too full and
too tired for what followed. On a complete whim, we drove to the centre of
London to see the Ice bar. It was a bit smaller than what I expected. Still, it
was worth a visit, for the experience. As the name suggests, everything inside
was completely made of ice: walls, tables, chairs, decorations… even the shot
glasses. Before entering, we were given a cape with a hood and a pair of gloves
to keep us warm for the next 40 minutes. Half of that time, we found, was
enough for us. Walking back to the cars in the cool English night, I felt
unusually warm.<br />

Our next stop was DSTRKT where some of us, excluding me, enjoyed colourful and
deliciously-smelling cocktails. <br />

By the time we got to the house,
I had even lost my desire to surf the Internet or chat with people. All I
wanted was sleep. On the next day I was grateful I picked the bed over my
computer at least for once. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18pt;">
An hour drive in the morning took
us to Biecester Village that claimed to be the biggest outlet village in
Europe. I was indeed amazed at how many brands I love had stores there –
Celine, Moncler, Tod’s, Ted Baker, Jack Wills, etc. I quite enjoyed walking
around because I liked the American style houses each store was in. After we
came back from the trip, I did a little research on those outlet villages. I
never even knew they existed. But they are all around Europe – Milan,
Barcelona, Madrid, Munich. Although I did not find a Celine Micro Luggage Tote
for a fraction of its price, I would go back again. In case I had more time, I probably
would have left with less money.<o:p></o:p><br />

During the afternoon and on the
next day, we were going into various shops in the heart of London. As we were
on a shopping trip, I had to leave with a few purchases. A tangle teezer,
Timberland moccasins, Fossil watch and Ted Baker bag were all I went for.<br />

Happy
and loaded with bags, I wanted to do one last thing before I go: enjoy all the
popular sights of the city. I know it’s a cliché, especially as I had done it
before. But it’s also a tourist classic.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18pt;">
So I walked by the Buckingham
palace. Three years ago, I missed the Change of the Guard because I was too
excited to go into an Abercrombie&Fitch store. I also passed by the
Westminster Abbey and a private school right next-doors. Last time, I
accidentally walked into the yard of this insanely expensive educational
institution. Disguised in black jeans and black trench coat, I blended with the
students. My mission ended with a successful photograph of some kids dressed
exactly like Hogwarts <span lang="BG" style="mso-ansi-language: BG;">scholars. Once
again, I took a photoshoot of the famous Big Ben. Only now I lacked my childish
excitement. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span lang="BG" style="mso-ansi-language: BG;">Re-discovering London made me think about my </span>philosophy on
travelling. I usually try to go where I’ve never been. But as Heraclitus has
once said: “You cannot step twice in the same river”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You cannot see a place with the same eyes in
the same way you did before. You can only learn and experience more. Above all,
always keep feeling grateful for having the chance to be back.<br />
<br />
PS. If you've read some previous posts of mine, you might know I really wanted to try a Krispy Kreme donut. Well, that was another first-timer in London :)<br />

Ben Lomond is a famous Scottish mountain on the eastern shore of Loch Lomond. In an attempt to create a rather informative post I tried to gather some information about the place. On a few different websites I read you need proper shoes and clothing before hitting the road. Especially in winter time! This is the exact opposite of what my friends and I did. "Armoured" with hoodies and sneakers, we attracted curious looks by some people with warm jackets, hiking boots and walking poles. Looking somewhat too brave or too reckless, we were doing pretty well walking uphill. With each step further we were getting more and more amazing views over the loch.<br />

At some point we started getting tired. That's when the tricky part came in. Looking up it seemed as if there's only one hill left to climb. But once you get on top of it ... there's another one, then another one. It seemed endless!<br />

Still, I was too excited for the rewarding feeling of being on top of the mountain to stop. Plus, a sandwich was waiting for me in my back pack. True, it was as pathetic as "put all that's left in the fridge" meals can be. Some mashed avocado and a pickle on a slice of bread kept me going.<br />
Finally, when we got to the top ... it was too cold and windy to rest there. So we headed back, casually sliding down when we failed to balance.<br />

At some point a friend suggested: Hear the silence. We all stopped and enjoyed a moment of complete stillness. There wasn't a single sound around. Like we were in vacuum. I wanted to stop and meditate. Strange, considering that meditation is quite arduous for me as my mind gets easily distracted. However, at this moment, I felt like I could do pretty well. Breathing until becoming one with nature. Truth is, I was already pretty close. Away from the hustle and bustle of Glasgow, in this peaceful setting, I knew there was no better way I could have spend the weekend.<br />

Often, I’ve been asked why I bother taking so many photos
when you can get them all off the Internet. To me, it’s not the same. When I
take a photo I show my own emotions about something that has been photographed
numerous times. Every now and then, though, photos are not enough. I found
myself in one of those situations at the Manchester city hall, standing in
front of a big spiral staircase, beautifully embellished with Gothic ornaments.
No matter how hard I tried I just couldn’t capture it’s ‘magic’ in a
photograph. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

Therefore: forget about descriptions, forget about images.
Nothing compares to experiencing a place. <o:p></o:p></div>

Another time I failed to portray my excitement was at Arndale
centre. The whole atmosphere was a lot more Mediterranean than English in my view. Among
a lovely variety of fresh fruits, vegetables and fish, was the crown jewel –
Art sandwiches. You’ve not heard of them? Maybe because I just made this up. Nevertheless,
those sandwiches were so beautifully decorated that to me they were works of
art. <o:p></o:p></div>

In the Gay Village I stumbled upon some masterpieces of the
literary art e.g. the names of some bars. “Morning glory” was, by far, my
favourite one. At this point, I could imagine myself like Carrie from Sex and
the City, walking into a gay bar to party undisturbed with my few best friends.
But around 11am, it was more of a morning glory than a party time. <o:p></o:p></div>

Later that day I was brought back to the time when I was a
football fan supporting Manchester United. A real football fan can never use a
past tense in my previous sentence. Guess I was just fond of liking the team
that my brother hated. Still, I found going to Old Trafford quite exciting. Not
because I was surrounded with like-minded fans and red devils’ commercial
products, but because I saw potential for cool photos. <o:p></o:p></div>

The famous architect Louis Kahn once said: "The sun
never knew how wonderful it was, until it fell on the wall of a building”. To
me, you can never know how beautiful a building is until you see it under the
sunlight. As someone who lives in Glasgow, I can assure you it looks times more
beautiful under the rarely seen wonder of sunlight. In Manchester’s Media city,
though, there was another story. In the dark, all the modern buildings and
bridges were lit up in different colours. Purple, blue, green and pink were
alternating to create a new sight every time you look around. As simple and rigid
office buildings are, there was something magical and romantic in their
reflection in the water. <o:p></o:p></div>

Considering how much I saw of Manchester in a single day, I
have no regrets. Well, maybe just one – not getting a Krispy Kreme doughnut.
But we all know how this works – I never would have settled with one. Or two … So
until they open up a store in my area, I have one more lovely reason to travel.

Enjoying
the beauty of a place while walking under the sun is something anyone can do.
But to find the beauty of a place when you are freezing, soaking wet and the
strongest winds in Europe are blowing in your face is a true mastery. That’s
what I was faced with on my trip to St. Andrews, a town on the East coast of
the UK. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
Before
hopping on a bus to there I did my research. Books taught me that the town has
a rich history and boasts the oldest university in Scotland. Locals told me it
is going to be extremely cold. Both sources were right. Sadly, I couldn’t
imagine how accurate the second one was until I got to experience Scottish
weather at its worst. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
The
bus left us by the ruins of the old cathedral. I have always appreciated the
historic value of such remains but never admired them as much as now. There was
some grandeur in the left overs of this old building that helped the town
flourish. Behind it was the vast ocean – dark and stormy. It was so different
from anything I have seen before. A far cry from the <span lang="BG" style="mso-ansi-language: BG;">clear, calm waters in Greece and the gorgeous blue
of the Mediterranean sea on the Cote de Azur.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But it was still fascinating, although scary even to look at. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="BG" style="mso-ansi-language: BG;">By the pier, where the winds were almost
unbearable, under the pouring rain, the only sign of life was a group of crazy
tourists and a bunch of brave seaguls. Or was it us that were brave and the
birds that were insane? They were flying, despite the rain and the heavy winds.
</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">We kept walking around the town
admiring its distinctive
architecture. Dwellings here had roofs
with gable ends typical of the Netherlands and some red tiles unique to
Scotland. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph; text-align: justify;">
When everyone was completely frozen, we got a break. Task was: find
the closest pub and try to warm yourself. Deadline: after 30 minutes. At that
point my survival instinct had kicked in. We got into a cozy, warm pub where a
really friendly girl was working. Everyone seemed to know each other. My friend
and I – we were strangers, we were foreigners. As if we hadn’t attracted enough
attention with our dramatic arrival, we kept on doing strange things. Like my
friend ordering some tea with rum; or me leaving my shoes to dry by a stove
while I was walking around in my fuzzy socks. We were some interesting material
so after attracting everyone’s attention, people started talking to us. By the
end of our half an hour we were offered free drinks, an elderly gentleman was asking
us to come back so he won’t miss us and another man gifted us a discount card
for another local pub. How did they say goodbye? “See you again!” With
pleasure, as long as there is some sun!</div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">We were headed to the University
library to get some additional information about the town. On our way, however,
some buildings strayed us away from our path for a while. We walked around all
university buildings and felt like we had gone back in time. Everything seemed
fairy-tale inspired. Or is this a place that actually inspired stories
themselves? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">When my second pair of socks was
soaking, we decided we’ve had enough time in the great outdoors. We had less
than an hour to spend around books so we didn’t waste it. We asked for some
help and got a decent amount of historical reference in about 5 minutes. Then
we started flickering through each book, taking photos of what seemed useful. I
got immersed into one volume that was telling the story of how the town has
developed since the Middle Ages. It didn’t seem like a typical historic book –
it was a lot more like a fairy-tale. A tale about the rich merchants, the
honored craftsmen and the poor unfree; a country that founded a prestigious
university; a flourishing trade with the continent. But also about a massive
plague wave that </span><span lang="BG" style="mso-ansi-language: BG;">came</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> in the 15<sup>th</sup> century; a
town that lost it’s pier and was on the verge of disappearing; a law that
restricts you from buying alcohol after a certain time. All of this was
extremely interesting to me, but I couldn’t fully read a chapter. I was picking
up a paragraph here and there, trying to get an idea about as much as I could. </span></div>

Now I feel like I know a lot about St. Andrews. Some of it I learned from books.
Some of it I experienced. After some time I will forget the dates, the names,
the details. But one thing that will always stay with me: the East coast is
freezing! I’m just joking. That one
thing is appreciation – even in hard times, we should always have our eyes open
for the beauty around us.</div>

The cookies smell and taste delicious. They're well worth a try. You probably have all ingredients in your kitchen already!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Всеки път, когато казвам че обичам меденки, мама ми отговаря "Много лесно се правят!"<br />
Най-накрая подложих това твърдение на тест!<br />
<br />
<b>Продукти:</b><br />
2 яйца<br />
1 чч захар<br />
1 чч мед<br />
2 чл сода<br />
2 г ванилия<br />
5 чч брашно<br />
1 чч олио<br />
<br />
<b>Начин на приготвяне:</b><br />
<i>Загрейте фурната на 180 градуса.</i><br />
1. Разбийте меда заедно със содата.<br />
2. Разбийте яйцата със захарта и ванилията.<br />
3. Добавете чаена чаша олио на струйка.<br />
4. Добавете меда и брашното.<br />
5. Смесвайте съставките, докато се получи меко, незалепващо по ръцете тесто.<br />
<i>По избор: добавете счукани на ситно орехи.</i><br />
6. Оформете тестото на малки топченца и ги поставете върху намаслена хартия за печене в тавата.<br />
7. Печете 15-20 минути.<br />
<i>Внимавайте, защото меденките лесно изгарят!</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Меденките имат чудесен аромат и вкус. Определено си заслужава да ги опитате у дома. Вероятно вече имате нужните продукти в кухнята си.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17244879622599371454noreply@blogger.com27tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105794204874475212.post-71494342774023418542013-01-21T13:21:00.000-08:002014-09-18T07:06:18.984-07:00MALTA: THE BOATS WITH NORWEGIAN DESIGN<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<span lang="BG" style="mso-ansi-language: BG;"><b>The best way to get to know a new place is to get lost in it. </b>With this firm belief, I went for a walk by the sea in Bugibba without a map, internet connection or anything else that can direct me. Armoured only with around 15 euros and a camera, I went on an expedition.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="BG" style="mso-ansi-language: BG;">I had the feeling that time has stopped or at least slowed down, similarly to life in resorts during the winter season. I could pay attention to every small detail that caught my eye. With my scarce like a continental breakfast knowledge about the island, I couldn't explain myself why a ton of things had a British influence. The traffic going "the wrong way", the taxis that were just like the ones in London, the sockets which had three wholes and so on.</span><br />

<span lang="BG" style="mso-ansi-language: BG;">Often, an interesting terrace or door got me in a maze of narrow streets. Then I went back to the seaside boulevard and continued my walk. I got to a small port loaded with colourful boats. While I was taking a short photo-shoot of them, I heard someone asking: "Do you like boats?" No, I like beautiful pictures and in this plenitude of bright colours I saw potential. But the maltese who was asking me was not into photography. His passion were boats. And in the girl who's taking photos by the port he saw someone with similar interest. I couldn't talk about boats, but I listened to his story about <b>"The Maltese boats with a Norwegian design"</b> with great pleasure.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="BG" style="mso-ansi-language: BG;">Long ago, in 1091, Malta was mostly populated with muslims. Christians were "second hand" and were not allowed to own land. This disturbed Urban II, the pope of that time, so he sent to the island an influential Norwegian general with his army of crusaders. Although the missioners were used to fighting, in Malta they had to deal with the problem with peaceful means. Therefore, the Norwegian bought the land from the muslims, paying them times its real value. Left out with no place to live in, Allah's followers embarked to Morocco and Libya. The christians bough the newly-freed land on the cheap and started cultivating it. To this day, Malta is a catholic country and the population is very religious.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="BG" style="mso-ansi-language: BG;">The army of crusaders stayed on the island to guard it. Many of them probably married to some local women. "Poor men!" - said my tour-guide with unhidden sadness in his voice. The Norwegians were skilled shipbuilders and they loved fishing. That is why they started constructing ships, just like they did in their homeland. But when they were trying to hammer each wood board to another - it would crack. That was because timber on the island is soft, unlike the hardwoods that you get up North. So the locals showed crusaders how to build their boats - putting each board on top of another. The Norwegians mastered this new technique but kept the design of their boats. Even nowadays, the colourful vessels in Malta look exactly as these in Scandinavia. </span></div>

"Is she local?" - I asked. He nodded. "Poor you" - I felt sorry him and we went our separate ways with a smile. </span> </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="BG" style="mso-ansi-language: BG;">Най-добрият начин
да опознаеш нови места е да се изгубиш в тях. С това убеждение тръгнах по
крайбрежната улица на Буджиба без карта, връзка с интернет или какъвто и да е
било ориентир. Въоръжена само с 15-тина евро и фотоапарат, аз поех на
експедиция.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="BG" style="mso-ansi-language: BG;">Имах усещането,
че времето е някак спряло или поне забавило своя ход, подобно на живота по
курортите покрай зимния сезон. В тези условия, можех да обръщам внимание на
всеки малък детайл, който грабваше окото ми. С оскъдните си като континентална
закуска познания за острова, аз не можех да си обясня защо множество неща имаха
британско влияние. Движението беше “наобратно”, светофарите и такситата –
досущ като тези в Лондон, контактите с три дупки и т.н. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="BG" style="mso-ansi-language: BG;">Често някоя
интересна тераса или врата ме вкарваше в лабиринт от тесни улички. После отново
се връщах на крайбрежния булевард и продължавах уверено напред. Попаднах на
малко пристанище отрупано с разноцветни лодки. Докато им правех кратка
фотосесия, чух как някой ме попита: “Обичате ли лодки?” Не, обичам хубавите
снимки и в това изобилие на ярки цветове аз виждах потенциал. Но малтиецът,
който задаваше въпроса беше слабо заинтересован от фотографията. Неговата
страст бяха лодките. И в момичето, което снима край пристанището, той видял
човек със сходни интереси. Аз не можех да говоря за лодки, но с голяма наслада
изслушах неговата история за “Малтийските лодки с Норвежки дизайн”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="BG" style="mso-ansi-language: BG;">В далечната 1091
година, Малта била предимно населена с мюсюлмани. Християните били хора “втора
ръка” и нямали право на имот. Това не се харесвало на тогавашния папа Урбан </span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">II. Той изпратил на острова
влиятелен норвежки пълководец със своята армия от кръстоносци. Въпреки че
мисионерите били хора, свикнали да се бият, в Малта те трябвало да се преборят
с проблема по мирен път. Затова норвежецът откупил земята на мюсюлманите,
плащайки им в пъти повече нейната стойност. Останали без място за живот, но с
достатъчно пари да започнат нов, последователите на Аллах се отправили към
Африка, най-често в Мароко и Либия. Християните откупили новоосвободените земи
на безценица и започнали да ги обработват. И до ден днешен Малта е католическа
държава и населението е силно набожно. </span><span lang="BG" style="mso-ansi-language: BG;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="BG" style="mso-ansi-language: BG;">Армията от
кръстоносци останала на острова да пази реда. Много от мъжете сигурно взели
малтийки за свои съпруги. “Горките мъже!” – с нескрита тъга в гласа си каза моя
екскурзовод. Норвежците били опитни в корабостроенето и обичали риболова.
Затова те започнали да строят лодки, както правели по родните си земи. Но
когато се опитвали да коват дървените греди една за друга, те се пропуквали.
Дървесината на острова е мека за разлика от тази в студената северна държава.
Тогава местното маселение научило кръстоносците как да строят лодките си – като
полагат гредите една над друга. Норвежците усвоили новата техника, но запазили
типичния дизайн на своите лодки. И до ден днешен, цветните плавателни съдове в
Малта, изглеждат също като тези по Скандинавските земи.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

го и се разделихме с усмивка.</span></div>

This July, it was my 4th time going to Italy. Still, it was my 1st time flying from Spain, visiting Milan and ... staying in a hostel. I was especially worried about this last one. For someone, who has grown up in their own room, sleeping in the same chamber with 7 other girls is a bit weird. Not to mention all the stories about lack of safety in hostels. So, I did my research, spent a bit more on accommodation and in return - I got a wonderful experience! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Ostello Bello</i>, the place I stayed in was just lovely! Situated right on a shopping street, just a few minutes away from the Duomo, it was perfect for sightseeing. What I loved the most about it, though, was the atmosphere. The personnel was always friendly and helpful, trying to make you feel at home. Everyone staying at the hostel was at or around my age, travelling from one place, stopping by Milan and going someone else. Just like me. Inevitably, we had a lot to talk about. People told me about their homelands - I shared about mine. They enchanted me with stories of places they have been to. I encouraged them to go to cities I've visited before. It was such a delightful experience - meeting tons of people with similar interests who are eager to explore the world. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To me, most hostels are like that - full of young and curious individuals you can learn a lot from. If it wasn't for those days in the hostel, I wouldn't have met all those amazing people from Brazil, the USA, Mexico, England, Australia and Italy. I wouldn't have learned that in Brazil they don't really have trains - cars and buses are the main transport. Or that in Australia, if you join the army you don't need to pay for a uni degree. Or that Mexico would be a great place to visit since I'd like to swim with dolphins. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My tip? <b>Don't worry about hostels</b> - they're amazing. Just <b>make sure you read reviews</b>. I was all about hygiene, location and safety ... but I got much more: captivating stories and international contacts!</div>

I was extremely excited to visit the Neuschwanstein castle as it has been my dream for ages now. There's no way you haven't seen some incredible pictures of this place. And if you have, you've probably wished you could live there. It's almost as magical as Hogwarts and it doesn't even have a bazillion of wizards in it. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
With those mind-blowing high expectations I set off on a trip to visit it. The castle failed to impress me and I felt disappointed. Possibly because the weather was not brilliant and with no sunlight you just can't tell a structure's true beauty. But most importantly if I didn't have its imaginative picture in my mind I could have felt differently. On the outside the castle is truly magical and fairytale-like, but you don't get a 'proper' view of its front. When we got to the back, however, I felt thrilled and less cheated on. The interior of the schloss was somewhat too posh and overdone for my taste. It did have amazing wood carvings and paintings of scenes from Vagner's operas, but I thought it was overdone. I suppose it's a matter of personal taste and for a minimalist, like me, that's only natural. This, added up to the incredibly short tour of the mostly unfinished castle, made me feel like 12-euro entry fee was a rip-off. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Overall, it was a nice trip. Although my first time paying for gas broke my heart (as I measure money in clothes I could have bought) I do not regret it. I'll quote my mom here: "<b>For the beauty you've seen, it is worth what you've payed</b>."</div>

Before visiting Linderhof Palace, I had only heard its name,
but never seen actual pictures. In short, I had no expectations. As you’ll see
in my next post, this turned out to be a very good thing.</div>
<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The schloss is situated in a picturesque area – surrounded
by incredible trees and imposing mountains. Ludwig II visited this place when
coming on hunting trips with his father. I suppose he was at least as fascinated
as me with the beauty of this area, since he decided to build one of his palaces there. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
My initial thought on the building and its gorgeous gardens
was that they remind me of Versailles. Although Linderhof is much smaller it is
a real gem. This goes to show that <b>size is unimportant when quality is superb. <o:p></o:p></b></div>

Boyd Rice once said: “I think
I feel automatically at home in Italy.” I quote him just because I couldn’t find
a better way to express how I feel about this country. To know that you are right
where you belong is one of the best feelings. And like any other travel lover,
I sometimes feel the need to go back “home”. This is what led me to Rome this
January. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

I could list the key sights
in Rome. But really, what’s the point? You’ve seen it, read it, heard of it
hundreds and hundreds of times. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I can go on forever how
amazing Rome is in my view … but some things are better just experienced. A picture
may be worth more than a thousand words, but even on a photo I couldn’t capture
how incredible the dome of the Pantheon is. I can try but never succeed in
explaining the way I felt – fascinated, thrilled, impressed … <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What I can do, though, is
teach you a valuable lesson. I may be
just a humble student travelling on a budget, but I can help because most
likely you’re just like me! My N1 tip is more precious than whatever any travel
guide can offer. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The trick to experiencing a
city, to feel its vibe and see its true character, is to get lost in it. Yes,
literally. The Italian capital can offer you much more than just its well-known
sights. You may see the Colosseum, St. Peter’s Basilica, Plazza Navona, etc but
all that is just a fraction of Rome. Every charming street, line of parked
motorcycles, gulp of wine or bite of delicious Margherita is Rome. Therefore -
explore! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Two days ago, after visiting
Castel Sant’Angelo, I crossed the river and became an adventurer. I got lost in
some narrow, winding streets that weren’t even on my map. And the more lost I
felt, the more freedom I had. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At lunch I enjoyed a tasty meal
and the company of an extremely polite waiter. We spoke in some strange mixture
of Italian and English accompanied with gestures where words failed. Right
before I left he gave me a magazine and a mug as presents. Wandering around the
same neighbourhood, I suppose, I stumbled across a gorgeous piazza with
fountains. After enjoying a few moments in this romantic setting, I somehow found
my way back to the river bang at sunset. By the time my short adventure was
over I had gathered lovely pictures, experiences and memories. Memories of
moments I would cherish for the rest of my life. Mainly because I know I really opened myself
to Rome, to the places and the people. Ironically, only when I got lost in this
city, I found how captivating it is . <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In short, if you want to
understand a city, experi<span class="Apple-style-span">ence it. So go big, or go home. Or should I say: Go
get lost?</span></div>
