Tired...

I have had a tiring week, four days of classes in a row, from 9.45am to 6.15pm except Monday, not including spending the whole last weekend for reading my required readings day and night... Phew...! It is very difficult for me to imagine what would be the rest of my study life in Olomouc? Before this, I was still "dreaming" to travel around Europe during all my weekends. It seems like it is not really possible to do that at least at the beginning of my study. What a waste! No matter what, I will have a must-visit list and try to fullfil it whenever I could!

When I was still working, I always wanted to go back to study again when I was under pressure, especially studying abroad. Now that I have already realized my dream here to be in Europe, I missed those days in my ex-company which everything was short and precise compared to my Masters readings now! I guess human will never be satisfied with what they got, especial girls! Ha-ha...

Anyway, I still take pictures wherever I go. During the orientation week, I attended a police information meeting. There was a Czech student who spoke English very well acted as a translator for the police officer. After the meeting, I thought he was the responsible person to bring me to the police immigration department. Therefore I asked for his help right away. Without asking much questions, he "blur blur" also brought me there. A nice guy. He made me run like marathon after going to the police station because he would be late for his next appointment. When the marathon ended, I found out the peoples that he wanted to meet was MY FRIENDS too. To cut the story short, that's how I got to know Mike. Below are some pictures taken when Mikes bring us around...


A church near Palacky University.

This is how it looks like in the church. I was AMAZED. This is the very first time I enter a "REAL" church. I feel like I am a 村姑 from Malaysia.

Due to my small camera lense, this is a vertical look of the church's interior design.

A secret entrance?

The first time I see a Confession room.

We went to Archdiocesan Museum near Palacky Univeristy too, however we are not allowed to take pictures in there. I only get to snap the picture of a well, which at least exists for more than few hundred year...

"My Friends"
(From your left) Lory (The Philippines), Shannon and Lan (USA) and ME (No introduction needed)!

The only guy is Mike, we didn't know we have the "same" friends until we ran a marathon!

This is in a student club in the Palacky University, me and Ahlora (Belgium). Obviously my alcohol tolerance is LOW!

Swetlana and Markus (Germany) and me!

Visiting to Bouzov Castle

During the orientation week, we went to visit a famous castle in Olomouc...

Waiting for our tour guide to buy tickets and our turn to visit the castle, one English speaking tour guide can only handle a certain number of peoples...

While waiting, it's picture-taking time! This is me and Giada (from Italy)

We are not allowed to take picture in there, so I try to take as much as pictures as I can at the outside!

(Vertical view... due to my small camera lens)

This is how a person looks like if she has been waiting too long...

My friends here always complain that I have weird facial expression when taking a picture...

Although we are not allowed to take picture inside the castle, but when the tour guide is not aware, I "curi-curi" snap some pictures of the courtyard in the central of the castle.


A different view...

Another view... (what to do? I can't take any pictures inside the castle and I can't describe the inner design with my limited English company)

As always, I won't forget to get myself into the picture...

After the visit, due to the "no picture inside" policy and my "kia-su" policy, I took a few more pictures before we left...

Specially dedicated to Ben See and Hwee Ling, they should know why I posed like this...

Specially dedicated to YOU who are watching this, by now you should be able to remember how this castle looks like :P

On the way back...

I fell in love with this typical "countryside" look on the way back...

It would be nice if there are some cows, then I should be able to shoot for a New Zealand Milk's Ad, ha-ha...

Back to Olomouc City...

A stop nearby City Centre, you can't miss this stop if you would like to go to any pubs or clubs during weekend...


Mum, this is for you, as I still can't buy any turtles for you here, be it alive or for diplay purpose. But I found this! Please be understood that I can't bring it back for you. I would end up living in the police station if I do this, haha! This is at the down town near the famous fountain. I promise I will bring some back...love you...
