From Vienna to Prague
.
Straight after sahur we went to the railway station heading to Prague. Bags already being packed and to tell Susan that we going to keep our bag in the store and will be back after 4 days time. If Im not mistaken the train planned to leave vienna for prague at 6.30 a.m. Before that, I already browsed the internet to purchase the tickets using Euro Train which can deliver right to your door step at your country. But it was not practical since we got no address and we resided in deep savannah area. So we tought that we can purchase tickets when we arrive Vienna for the Eastern Europe. Then only we relised that the tickets dictate differently when we ask the ticket counter. We got no choice but to proceed with it eventhough quite expensive. One thing must be in your mind if you are in holiday is that never stingy about money. Holiday is for you to spend.

In the journey I occupied my time mostly reading. I need to finish 'A Time to Kill' by John Grisham since I have few more books to complete. The scenery was marvelous and the chill temperature started to evaporate. The journey took about 4 to 5 hours to arrive Prague and we anticipated to be at the hotel by 1.00 p.m. Hotel was arraged vide the internet just a day before we left Vienna. One thing good about being in Europe was that you can easily get connected to wireless and the notebook can be your dearest friend.

Authum was about to season and the leave started to turn yellow and orange. You can see this typical panoramic view with range of mountains, villages and farms. Sometimes I felt like being in the movie .......Anyway it was a very nice and experience journey.

Breclav is the bourder town. We were in Prague now. The photo bit blur since I took it inside the train.
You can enjoy many monuments like this in Europe.
The 15th century Astronomical Clock in the Old Town Square, Prague.
Hey come and sit next to me.... I found it in front of the shop while window shopping.
Wenceslas Square favoured by thousands of shoppers
Prague is one of the finest and remarkable city in Europe. The mixed colours and architecture really translating its own beauty. You can find many tourist espacially Japanese. They will storm to Prague especially during summer.
Prague is famous with its splendid and gorgeous Bohemian Crystal. You can find plenty of souviner shops selling crystal from miniature crystal to a very big crystal vase. I dont think those were cheap. I dont buy any crystal coz I dont really like it anyway but I bought few crystal earings for my wife.
One of Czech tradition is puppetry, both at the theatre and in endless numbers of souvenir shops. The marionete came in numerous sizes, characters and prices
This photo I took from Charles Bridge with a back ground of Old Town and Josefov (The Jewish Quarters)

Wooden toy
The display of numerous photos collected by different artist and places all over the world.

The entrance of Charles bridge that will flood tourist during summer. You can enjoy some music entertainment by local musician and some other local art was also sold here.

Nice view isnt it!!! I dont know where it was but we were lost on the way to find something.

In Prague you also can enjoy beautiful building with delicate architectural work. Just wonder why cant we have this kind of building here.
I was so tied and need some rest. I was waiting for my friend to buy his shoes. I dont know how many of shoes he needs to try before deciding the best on.
Transpotation was never a problem for tourist like us. You can use tramp, taxi or underground train. But the underground is not that complicated and magnificant compare to the one in London. We were lucky because our hotel was within distance to all the areas in Prague city. Walking by foot is enough but very tiring coz you need to go to many places.
Kiosk....you can get poscard, maps and many more here.

Fruit stall next to Tesco

Finally we found the mosque for our iftar. Thank god after an exhausted journey, finally we manage to rest. This is a picture with our Malaysian students / young doctors. Arif and Khairul came to my house for lunch last summer holiday in July. Now if I were to go back to Prague got no problem of accomodation since I can tumpang lepak kat rumah mereka.
.
Anyway before I pen off, I would definately suggest that please endevour to be there if you have some extra. Prague is really a nice city. For your information I always travel with my free and easy instinct rather than following the agent. I feel it convenient that way.....

Regent Park Mosque London Setiap hari Khamis malam Jumaat aku akan ke London untuk ke Algate East Mosque, Christian Street, London. Masjid ini dahulunya adalah synagogue. Apabila komunity Islam sudah bertambah di kawasan ini, terutamanya warga Bangla, maka ramai orang orang Yahudi yang berpindah ke North London. Selalunya aku akan terus dari kelas ke sana yang memakan masa selama 30 minit by train. Kadang kadang ada member teringin nak ikut tapi selalunya aku seorang lone ranger aje. Di samping dengar bayan sekali sekala seronok juga boleh jumpa dan borak dengan member2 yang lain. Di sinilah aku selalu jumpa Abang Qasim aku tuh. Kalau aku dah penat dan rasa dah lewat untuk pulang ke rumah, aku iktikaf aje di masjid. Kalau aku iktikaf Abang Qasim lah yang selalu sediakan bistra untuk aku. Sayang dia kat aku...hehehehe. Esok paginya kadang aku terpaksa ponteng kelas sebab lewat. Lagi pun subjek tu bukanya ada exam pun. Jadi week end sahaja aku selalu lepak di rumah member member aku yan...

Pokok Bunga Kertas Sekarang orang tanam pokok bunga kertas dalam pasu gantung. Bila daun dia merendang dan berbunga memang nampak cantik seperti pokok pertunia. Rasanya pokok bunga kertas ni lebih senang nak jaga lagi pun dia berbunga sepanjang tahun. Ada juga di tanam di dalam pasu yang lebih besar. Tetapi harga tiga kali ganda. Aku beli Empat pasu untuk di letak di depan rumah aku. Satu warna bright pink, peach, white and light pink. Nampak gaya ia akan menjadi koleksi terbaru aku. Dulu aku pernah tanam berbagai bagai pokok ni dan dah besar dan cantik untuk di bongsaikan. Tapi kawasan rumah sekangkang kera aku terpaksa eksport ke rumah mertua aku. Sekarang entah kemana pokok pokok itu. Actually idea untuk letak bunga kertas berjurai tu dah lama aku buat seperti di dalam gambar tu. Aku rasa dah 6 tahun aku tanam kat atas tu tapi masih juga kemetot. Aku tahu puncanya. 1. Tinggi sangat - jadi malas nak kerabat pakai tangga untuk membaja dan merumput. 2. Kurangnya baja untuk di suburkan ...

A Visit To Sg Buluh . Last week aku ke Sungai Buluh. Niat di hati nak beli pasu besar untuk aku semai pokok kemboja. Akhirnya aku lupakan saja hajat tersebut. Aku cuma beli sepohon anak pokok kedondong sahaja yang belum lagi di tanam. Oleh kerana rumah pun tak siap lagi elok aku releks dulu. Pokok bunga kertas ni pun hampir Rm6o. Mahal bukan main. Tapi memang cantik merendang. Nak cari yang biasa di jual satu beg RM5 pun dah susah dan semuanya semakin meningkat harga. Bunga Antorium ni lebih besar dari tapak tangan aku. bila nengok memang aku rasa luar biasa sikit pokok ni. Saja aku tanya harga rupanya RM 60. mahalnya mak datuk. Nanti murah lah tu. Aku rasa benih ni datang dari Thailand. Inilah pasu pasu yang aku belek belek dan tak jadi nak beli. Harganya sekarang semakin melampau lampau. Aku rasa baik aku tanam di atas tanah saja pun cantik. Tapi dengan Yusuf yang lasak ni aku kena berhati hati bila tanam di tanah. Nanti semuanya boleh jadi tunggang langgang di kerjakan oleh yusuf.
