Travelog Winter 2013: Reise Nach Deutschland, Tschechien Republik, Österreich, Schweiz

Assalamualaikum, In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

All praise to Him, the Supreme Ruler of the world, and salawah upon Prophet Muhammad PBUH.

Alhamdulillah, I still have the time to write something, hopefully for the greater good. I went away, last winter break, to few places by which you guys can possibly know through my facebook pages. Ah, spoil the post. Germany, Czech Republic, Austria & Switzerland. A lot of journey with awesome high school friend, Suhatman aka the tour guide. He studies in Aalen, germany, that's why he is capable of the communication and transport system around germany. Lucky me.

Alte oper night and day.

Landed at frankfurt, it was a nice place for a city life. We met our senior during high school, Aizet Ilyas, whom a great motivator man. We chat until late night and have a few insight exchanged. Moving up to Berlin the place where world war 2 exploded and centered. Berlin composed of many historical places, from jewish memorial place, the Berlin wall where east and west berlin were divided as a result of hitler fall, Charlottenburg Palace, Charlie checkpoint and others. I like the christmas market and the happening events there.

Then, we crossed the border to Prague, the capital city of Czech Republic. Subhanallah, the place was very beautiful and the buildings were designed as bohemian style, the holy roman empire. I fall in love of the sight on top of hill, where you can view the whole city and spend the rest of the day amazed of the beauty of the world God gave us to. And the people are nice and the girls are very pretty too. Ma, can I bring one home? :p

After that, we went to munich. On the way to Allianze Arena, I met my old college classmate, Arif Chan and his usrah-mate. It was nice to meet somewhere out of UK as we also barely talk to each other, unless we met. Thank Allah for this moment. The next day, we went to Neuschwanstein castle. The journey was 3 hours long from munich and so many chinese were on sight. Maybe they like the castle as well. The castle itself was magnificent and beautiful. Masya-Allah. The road towards the top was closed because of the icy slippery route, but we climbed up the fence and got to walk a great and awesome view journey. Masya-Allah. On the way back, we met our high school junior, Nelissa with her friends, all the way from Canada. It was nice to meet them. :)

We continue our journey the next day to Salzburg, Austria. We climbed to the top of the castle and got a very good view. very nice. And we have our night back in Suhatman's place, Aalen. There, I met, Azwan, Chop, Ken, Abiman and Choka. We played board games for two nights and had a very great fun together. (ok, macam ayat budak sekolah rendah buat karangan. Haha. Well, who cares anyway, nobody is going to read this blog btw).

My final destination was Schaffhausen, Swiss. There, where the Rheinfall is located, the biggest waterfall in europe. Though I think it's small, but the view was nice. I'm glad I was given this opportunity to see it. Alhamdulillah.

Overall, this trip was the best trip I've ever been. The food wasn't that hard to find and the price is worth it. I met with a lot of acquaintances and obtained wonderful, priceless experiences. With good companion which I really grateful having of, and can withstand my demeanor which few can comprehend. Thank you very much, Suhatman, for guiding me throughout the journey. It was really fun. And Aalen friends, the food was nice, and I'm really can't thank you guys enough. May Allah bless you guys. :)

Enjoy the video I made. :D

"O Lord, give me baraqah on every single trip I spent, for that I gained wisdom not normally anyone get. I pray to you to pour down the blessings to those I met, so that our met can make us closer to You and will not awaken Your anger. Please give me the chance to seek knowledge which can make me deepen my heart and feelings upon You. For You are the greatest of all, for You we came and return."

"It is He who has made the earth subservient to you. You walk through its vast valleys and eat of its sustenance. Before Him you will all be resurrected."
