31 Days Challenge, Day 25 – My Vienna

That I was in Vienna when I turned 18, you already know thanks to my Day 17 post. But what you don’t know is that my memory box also has stuff from there.

So, on our way to the Schonbrun Palace, me and my mum had a fight. I really can’t remember the subject of that, but I do remember it made me so mad that I started to ignore it. So, there we were waiting getting on the subway, when I saw an empty seat so I went to sit there. On the chair, there was an Airways chewing gum. I smiled and I thought – ‘Hey, this should be in my memory box’. I have no other comment on that, but it made me smile.

I’m addicted to chewing gum, but I haven’t used a single pill from there!

 

On another note, I really liked the cards that the hotel had for every room. So much that I kept one. Mine had an eye. my mum’s had lips. I saw that there were others with legs, hands, noses, etc.

I loved this hotel, even if the staff was gay. Yes, they had pretty boys wandering the halls of the hotel… Oh, and I also loved their breakfast buffet!!! Like really, they had everything and anything you can think of. And if they didn’t, they would made it especially for you! It was an incredible large room filled with food and most importantly, sweets!

Oh, I do need to go back there!… *feeling melancholic*

31 Days Challenge, Day 11 – My Thing

Everybody’s got a thing of theirs. I have many, I afford it.

And one of those things is collecting pens from my travels, pens from hotels where I stayed.

You know, usually hotels leave in every room a pen, a notebook, or stuff that has the hotels name written on them. Well, most of the people pick the shampoo bottles, but I like the pens. Until I figured out that I can collect them and keep them as memory, I used to use them and throw them out… So now my collection is pretty small but I plan for it to grow every year!
