Fish Spa

                         They're hungry for dead skin cells!!!!

                         Had to get my toes done for this special occasion. :)

                                Central Market, Kuala Lumpur

Most are interested in trying this when heading to Southeast Asia. The concept of fish nibbling at your feet to remove dead skin cells and to improve circulation, doesn't sound like a bad idea at first....but just wait till you put your feet in the water! I don't consider myself a ticklish person at all, but I couldn't keep my feet in the water! It's an odd feeling....cause not one but probably two dozen fish are nibbling at your feet at once. Since I went to Malaysia before going to Thailand, my Fish Spa experience was in Kuala Lumpur. These are all over the city, but I found one of the cheapest places to be in Central Market (not far from Jalan Petaling (Chinatown). Once you walk into Central Market, make a left turn and walk to the end and then walk straight (it's towards the middle of the market on the first floor). The place is called Cute Fish Spa....nothing cute about it. Oh, and make sure you have some sanitary wipes at hand....only god knows the kinda feet these fish have been nibbling on prior to yours...

Travel Diary: Kutna Hora

                        Even the sign at the train station is eerie!

                                  Finally at the Bone Church!

                     
                                           Entrance

                               Tombs surrounding the church

                                     First glimpse....

                            No Touching! Why would you anyway??

Cathedral of our Assumption of the Lady and St. John the Baptist (World UNESCO Heritage Site)

           I can't even count how many skeletons, bones, skulls....etc. I've seen today!

                                 There's a second floor....

                                        Back to Prague

                         Really??? At least learn how to spell!

                              Rebels crossing the train tracks! lol

Kutna Hora is a popular day trip from Prague as it only takes about an hour. We departed from Praha Masarykovo Nadirazi (smaller local train station near Republic Square). The train station is old and filled with locals that don't speak English, so you better know which train you're taking or else you will be running around to find someone to help you. We had that problem...Most trains to Kutna Hora h.l.n (closest train station to the Bone Church) require you to transfer at Kolin, which we had to do; hence the confusion in Prague. Kutna Mesto is the main station in Kutna, but it's quite far from the Bone Church, which is the only reason we decided to go. Once you get to Kutna Hora, the walk to the Bone Church or Kostnice Ossuary is only a 10 minute walk. We also went to the Cathedral of Assumption of Our Lady and St. John the Baptist (World UNESCO Heritage Site) since it was on our way back to the train station. Both sites are a great representation of Bohemian Gothic architecture. The Bone Church, I'm sure to most, was eerie and fascinating at the same time. I think it's definitely worth the trip if you have the time.

Love Locks

                                    Prague-Charles Bridge

                                  Salzburg (smart! no names!)

                                           Salzburg


Have you ever noticed these locks along bridges in Europe?? Couples fasten these padlocks onto the fences of the bridge to symbolize their everlasting love...blah blah blah. The bitch is... if you guys break up, better remember to go back to the bridge and take down the lock. Ahhhh... what it's like to be young and "in love".... but they make for great pictures :)
