Travels

Country: Germany

City: Dresden
If you happen to find yourself in Dresden, Germany and have some free time, I suggest going to their colossal mall. In there you can try out some kayaks in a pool inside some sport shop. Or go to the food court and order some döner in a box or wrap. You must also see all their pretty snazzy looking churches and museums. If you've seen all the scenic streets and all the churches and museums that you can; head over to the trade center building. They have this really cute market in front of it where you can buy fresh produce. And if you want a view of the city and you are in a small group, you can quickly go into the trade center building and go to the top floor. Maybe if you are lucky you will get the glass elevator on the way up or down.

I mean, all these look really classy. 


Berlin:
Before you go to Berlin, I suggest you look up what to do there and have a plan how to get around. I suggest bus tour first and renting a bike if its a nice day. Of course the Berlin wall is a must-see and is instagram worthy. There are a lot of important looking buliding around. Going up to the Fernsehturm Berlin (television tower) to get your City View of Berlin. Natives are very proud of the Ampelmännchen (the green man that tells you when you can cross the street) so get some thing with that little guy on it. Berlin is one of the biggest shopping capitals in the world, so go to the mall, hit up Primark, spend some Euros. Just kidding the only thing you are required to spend money on is Currywurst.

Czech Republic:

Prague:
Now I only got 4 hours here but I do have some tips. Take a walking tour to get some info on the city. Spend some quality time in the candy shops, gift shops and churches. Get some Trdelnik (chimney cake) cause its so pretty and good ( pull parts of the cake off, scoop the ice cream with it and eat). In the center you can go to this tall cathedral climb up to the top and get a City View of  Prague (I don't really know if you are allowed to or not but some kids in our group did get some pictures up there). Also watch out for gypsies, especially ones with purple beards. If you touch whatever they are trying to sell, you buy it. Also laughing at their hilarious facial expressions will make them not go away even if you keep saying no. I have learned from experience


see.. soo pretty



ah yes. the blurry candy shop pictures



People rub this statue for good luck (for some reason everyone rubs the dog)

Austria:

Linz:
We were in Linz for about 4 to 5 hours waiting for our train. I learned that train stations have lockers that you can keep your suit cases in and you can fit a lot of stuff in one. I recommend going to Burgerista, its a high class place with wonderful pink lemonade  and a cow near the bathroom that you can sit on. Now in Austria most shopping places close at 6pm or 7pm so get your shopping and souvenir buying done by then. I highly recommend getting caramel roasted almonds that they sell at stands on the main street.








Salzburg:
Must-sees: Mozart's birthplace, hills where the Sound of Music was filmed, and Hohensalzburg Castle. At the castle you can get your City View of Salzburg. There are a lot of good shopping streets throughout the center of the city.

Croatia: 

Osijek: It is really easy to get around and really hard to get lost with the trams cause there are literally 2 lines. Trvđa is really where to be. It has 5 schools within its walls, 3 museums, at least 11 cafes, 6 clubs and on the first weekend of the month there is a antique market that goes on in the middle. There are plenty of cafes all over the city. So many parks, shopping is mostly near the center or you can easily go to Portanova or Avenue mall.
