Day 5 – Salzburg City
December 11, 2009
Finally, we headed down ‘town’ on the fifth day.
As we wanted to leave the bulk of the Sound of Music tour till Michy arrives, we did more of Mozart today.
We purchased a 24-hour ticket in Salzburg City that included admission to most of the places of attractions and access to the public transport within the city area.
Our first stop was at the Mirabelle Garden that you’d find familiar.
It was where Maria and the kids sang Do-Re-Mi on the flight of steps 
Perhaps I was still young 18 years ago, the garden this time around did not look that huge – subsequently, we came to a consensus that the garden was in fact, not that huge afterall – it was just the cinematography in Sound of Music that made it seem really huge.
Anyway! Here’s us doing our own rendition of DO RE MI. hurhurhur
Here’s us with the Hohensalzburg Fortress in the far background.
Will touch more about this later.
Now for this man you see here – he works at Mozart’s birth place and was rather excited to see fellow Chinese visiting. Not only did he welcome us with opened-arms, he even broke the rules and allowed us to take some photos with the artifacts in the building. Hurhurhur. He then spent at least 30min telling us about rather interesting around-the-world facts that was totally unrelated to Mozart. haha. We’d have stayed to listen to him if we had more time.
oKay im really very tired and cant continue blogging for now because the connection’s really slow here. haha.
i’ll promise to continue as soon as i can okay? more photos to come.
GOOD NIGHT! our next post will feature our dear PRINCESS FROM HK:P

Yours is not The Sound of Music. It is The Sound of Incomplete Music – from ‘Do’ to only ‘Fa’. When Michy joins in, you will get a fuller tone with ‘So’ adde. That would be enough notes to sing ALOUTTE, wouldn’t it? At Ocean Park, we can only do Do Re. I wonder what song has only 2 notes to it. So you can be that boredom is slowly setting in at ‘Ocean Park Boulevard’.

You would have noted that there are some postings of mine which are repeated as emails. There is an explanation lest you think I am overly repetitive.
On my Blackberry, the square which my posting is to be contained is so small that I have to squint my eyes to do the texting. I cannot even see properly what I have typed in. Sometimes to overcome this, I text it as a email first where the words are so much larger and then I do a copy-and-paste and transfer it to the blog box. This way, no spelling errors are likely to appear unless I really cannot spell the words. But my itchy fingers then sometimes decide to be naughty and ‘involuntarily’ give a command to also send it as email. That of course is repetitive. This is a case of ‘since I have already done it, I might as well go the Full Monty’.
