Daytrip to Monaco

Monaco to Nice is like Johor Bahru  from Singapore - very near, accessible by a €1.50  bus, and things are (slightly) cheaper in Monaco thanks to it being a tax-free land. But instead of cheap delicious food and hipster cafes, Monaco has high-rise buildings (basically HDBs), boats, F1 track and Monte Carlo.

Mykonos

It's been barely 3 weeks since I came back from my holiday in Santorini when I fell SO hard in love with Greece that I decided to return there for a last trip with the bunch of girls. Here they are, the double-chromosomed members of the Asian gang in Vienna. We'd just reached Mykonos and were having waffles and pancakes for brunch at the port.

Here's a glimpse into the port where restaurants, cafes and bars are lined up against the sea. It was pretty refreshing to have an eclectic mix of everything in the city. Blue-domed churches, white building, windmills and oh, they have red-domed churches too here!

Bratislava

As my stay in Vienna came to a close, Bae and I decided to celebrate the end of the semester and our last day in Europe together in style. We had a casual lunch at the UFO Restaurant in Bratislava, Slovakia - a casual 1h €1 bus ride from Vienna.

A Scenic Stopover at San Bernardino, Switzerland

IMG_6675 During my exchange semester in Europe, I had zero intention on visiting Switzerland. How super expensive everything there is simply deterred the budget barbie in me. Also, Switzerland lies in the border of Austria and Italy and probably share the same Alpine regions as the one I've seen in Innsbruck. And well, other than the Matterhorn or the Toblerone mountain, and the Jungfraujoch "top of Europe" (both too expensive for me at the moment) I haven't heard of how anything there being to-die-for or like a must-go.
