Kids kept asking me if I am excited and ready to receive my present. Not wanting to kill their mojo, I said yes of course before I checked google to know what the ocassion is. Mother’s day and similar holidays are so commercialized that somehow it becomes a joke. Good thing my kids does not…
Vietnam was cheap once you get used to a lot of zeroes (2.6 million dong something for 100 euro). Walking around the old quarter, you need to be careful with motorcycles.

I think that is the literal translation for Wasserburg. We saw this castle on the way home from Leisnig and simply had to make a quick stopover. Nothing much on historical value except how it was owned from one family to another since the 15th century to be currently owned by the town who spent…
