Eastern europe day 12


One of the things Salzburg is known for aside from Mozart and music is the chocolate. I bought some of the well known Mozart chocolate to bring home earlier on. Then during our walking tour, our last stop was just outside a little cafe that still hand makes these traditional sweets. It would not do to not at least try one even though they were more expensive then the ones made by machines. When we entered the shop we realised that Taiwanese model Lin Chilin was in the shop. She was tall and quietly demure. I don't particularly like or dislike her but still must say it was kinda neat to spot an Asian celeb in the most unlikely of places. Although i must say if she was Ada Choi, Matsushima Nanako, Ueto Aya, Amami Yuki or Stefanie Sun, i might be more starry eyed. :-) anyway, back to the chocolate. At the centre of the Mozart chocolate is a piece of marzipan. Now usually i'm not a big fan of marzipan but this chocolate was quite tasty. Btw, before we partook of the chocolate, we had a cold drink, enjoyed the moment and chatted for quite sometime. It was quite relaxing and even though i did not see more of Salzburg and took no more photos for the day, i was quite happy to soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the day like other eastern europeans and tourists in the many cafes round the city.

hey, where's my mozart chocolate? He might not be my favourite composer ( my favourite is Beethoven, just in case you don't know ), but still....just kidding. Glad that you had a great time and came back in one piece..hehe
