Hello, Steemit friends! :D
I'm looking back on my traveling history from east to west.
I've mentioned that I've been in 20 countries from my first post.
But it may not be the truth. Now I think even more than 20. (lol)
You can see another 10 countries more east side here.
11. Turkey
- Istanbul, Cappadocia.
It said that it was unusually cold that year. So luckily I could see white Cappadocia heritage!
Ayasofia is great and Turkish are great as well. You don't have to worry about being lost since everyone you meet in Istanbul would kindly bring you to the exact path!
12. Hungary
- Budapest, Eger.
Somehow I wanted to go to this classical east Europe country in winter time, so I did. Yeah, Feb 2017 it was unexpectedly freezing cold(lol). But still I wish I go once more in that season since many things are even nicer in winter: the shadow of trees with only baer branches, outdoor hot spring, hot soup like goulash, nice craft beer at the patio covered with snow in a ruin bar!
Ah, here's another good reason to travel in Hungary: reasonable price. Most price level is not so high. We rented an apartment bigger than 100M^2 located in very center of Budapest(Goszdu Udba), surprisingly it was only 85$ for 2 nights 3 days!
13. Austria
- Vienna, Salzburg, Admont, Gosau, Innsbruck.
It was my first time traveling alone. Soon after the start of my journey, I knew it's not lonely but exciting. I met many good people during the travel and some became a real good friend.
If you love art or beautiful nature, Austria should be one of the best choice. You can enjoy the world top class orchestra music by Vienna Philharmonic in an old classical concert hall, and the next day you may be the top of the mountain seeing beautiful blue & green ground scenery with beer and greedy crows. (even though Austrian beer is not that good for me😅)
14. Germany
- Frankfurt, Munich, Berchitesgaden and some castles in south Baiern province
I've been in Germany 3 times. The most exciting moment was, yes, Oktoberfest, haha. It's one of well-known festivals in the world. I highly recommend that you should enjoy it before you die! If you are a beer-lover like me, there's no more reason for that. haha.
I've never been in north Germany yet so I have a reason that I should travel there someday. (;
I like German because its pronunciation is cool. I learned Germany when I was a highschool student and what I remember now is only 1 sentence: Ich habe hunger.
15. Italy
- Venice, Florence, Pisa, Verona, Jesolo, Chiusa-Klausen
There were 3 reasons why I visited north Italy; 1) To appreciate Uccello Paolo's works in Florence, 2) Venice Carnival, 3) To visit my friend. After the journey I'm being prefer Verona, Pisa and Chiusa. Venice was romantic and beautiful but too crowded and everything was too expensive. Unfortunately all days in Florence were rainy. If I go to Italy again, it would be south area with great nature and the beach.
Chiusa(Klausen) is a small town at the border of Italy and Austria. It has great nature and it's well known for a skii place especially to Germany and Italian tourists. The most exciting moment was snow sleighing in the mountain at night! An hour climbing for 5 minutes extreme! lol.
I would plan to write about 10 countries for one posting and each country would be written with 3~4 sentences and 1~2 pictures. And, wow, it's getting longer and longer!(lol) So I'd better to cut by 5 countries haha.
Then, I'll come back with more west world next time! See you again, friends! :D
