Pic 2: The River of Danube is the second longest river in Europe. It is the only major European river to flow from west to east. It rises in Germany in the Black Forest as two smaller rivers called Brigach and Breg, which join in Donaueschingen and are called Donau henceforth, flowing south-east for a distance of about 2850 km (1770 miles), to the Black Sea in Romania where the Danube Delta is.
The Danube is an important international waterway. It flows through nine countries (Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, and Ukraine), with tributary rivers in seven other countries. It flows through the following large cities:
The Danube is mentioned in the title of a famous waltz by Austrian composer Johann Strauss, An der schönen, blauen Donau (By the Beautiful Blue Danube).

After going out from the land of Slovakia is the land of Austria so we visited the main city of Austria, Vienna. It is a tourist city...
Pic 3: Dl and Marilyn with the Fiaker, Vienna's famous horse-drawn.
Pic 4: St. Stephen's Cathedral - Stephansdom, one of Vienna’s most famous sights. St. Stephen's Cathedral defines the city centre and has been the heart of Vienna for centuries. It is one of the most famous Viennese sights and was built in 1147 AD. For a long time it was uncontested as highest building in Europe measuring almost 137 m.
Pic 5: Once a coal market, this pedestrian street leads to Hofburg. It is home to some of the most exclusive shops in Vienna, including the showroom of Thonet, whose shapely, black chairs, were created in the early 20th century and are pinnacles of Viennese design. A famous patisserie, Demel Konditorei, was founded in the late 18th century and is one of the city’s most famous cafes.
Pic 6: Renaissance Building.
Pic 7: Starbucks at Vienna, Austria.
Pic 8: This is The Spanish Riding School. The Spanish Riding School in Vienna is the only institution in the world which has practiced for over 430 years and continues to cultivate classical equitation in the Renaissance tradition of the haute école. The objective of classical equitation is to study the way the horse naturally moves and to cultivate the highest levels of haute école elegance the horse is capable of through systematic training.
The result creates an unparalleled harmony between rider and horse, as only Vienna's Spanish Riding School achieves. It's name was derived from the fact that the horses were of Spanish origin. The Lipizzaner is regarded to be the oldest classic horse race in Europe. The horses have been breed in Lipizza in Slovenia. Todoy, there is a study in Piber, close to Graz. Young Lipizzaner are black and only turn white when reaching maturity. They need to undergo elaborate training before they are able to perform their prancing Renaissance ballet to the sound of classical music.
Pic 9: Statue of Kaiser Franz 1.
Pic 10: Hofburg Imperial Palace is a palace which has housed some of the most powerful people in Austrian history.
Pic 11: The City Hall is one of the most splendid amongst the numerous monumental buildings along Vienna's. Designed by Friedrich Schmidt (1825-1891), it was erected between 1872 and 1883. The architecture of the Ringstraße is dominated by historicism. In Historicism various stylistic elements of the past were combined into a style in its own right. Friedrich Schmidt however orientated himself just on one particular epoch. The City Hall was built in gothical style, with a tower similar to gothic cathedrals. The gothic era saw the growth of the cities and the emergence of an urban burgeoisie.
Today the City Hall is the head office of Vienna's municipal administration. More than 2000 people work in the building. Visitors are stunned by the magnificent appointments of the state rooms, which frequently provide an atmospheric backdrop to various events such as press conferences, concerts or balls.
Pic 12: St. Peter's Church. The Peterskirche was built in 792 and is together with the Ruprechtskiche among the oldest churches in Vienna. In 1701 it was pulled down and in the following 30 years it has been rebuilt by Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt. The church is an adaption to the Petersdom in Rome. In the interior you can enjoy the rich baroque décor.
Pic 13: Our lunch.
After walking for about 2 hours in the city of Vienna, we bought lunch to eat in the car and travel back to Germany which take another 8 hours drive.

Actually walking around the whole castle following the tour guide only few of us, Siegfried, Ps Robert, Pavol, Marianna, dl and me, the rest with the kids are waiting outside coz those kids are too tired to walk around...
Well, after the satisfaction being at the top of the castle, we went down to look for the rest of them who did not follow.

It is really a crazy day because we walk and walk at the castle till we skip our lunch. By the time we finish walking the whole castle, it is 3.30pm and we have to drive for a while to another town for lunch/dinner but before we can get our meals, Annerose and me have to get a good pair of shoes for jungle trekking tmr... ohhhh... we choose our shoes very fast because we are hungry...

Pic 22: Our lunch/dinner at 6pm.

Pic 6: This is Ps Robert, Rebecca (5 yrs old), Rachael and Daniel (3 yrs old) [left to right]. We are walking to a Museum.
Pic 7: On the way, we saw a Greek Catholic church. 55% of Slovak ppl are catholic so according to Ps Robert, it is hard to evangelize to them coz they believe salvation by work not by faith.
Pic 8: Museum at Michalovce
Pic 9: This is a donation box in the museum, u can see some of the money there. Dakujem means thank you in Slovak. Dl and i learn a few words from the internet before we went to Slovakia but of course dl learn much more in Slovakia coz he is smart.... =)
Pic 10: This is the town in Michalovce. After the visit to the museum, we look for a place for lunch. It is going to be 1pm and we are late, suppose to follow Ps Robert to a gypsy's family to do bible study at 2pm.
Anyway, we had our lunch and we walk back to the church to get the cars to the gypsy's family at 2.30pm...
Pic 11: This is one of the gypsy family that Ps Robert is reaching out... they are very poor, gypsy's family are poor, well there are rich one as well, the rich are very rich, and the poor are very poor. This family that we visited had 4 children and her husband is in UK working there. Their house is not very small and they have a big garden but is quite run down and this is the kitchen, we sit around the table, not much furnitures and there are flies around us.
Gypsies are the one that Slovak ppl look down at because of some historical story. According to Ps Robert, it is hard to reach out to gypsies coz they will agree with us in whatever we say just to please us, but deep within, we really don't know whether they really believe or not. Ps Robert had a church for gypsies and the members always changed. When this group of gypsies are not happy with u, they will go to other church, and other church members from that church will go to your church instead because there are many groups among themselves as well. =) It is hard work, may God send revival to them.
Pic 12: Ps Robert sharing about the story of Isaac and Rebecca in the Bible, so there are 3 rebecca there... hehehee... talk about us as God's children need to be obedient, follow the teaching from the bible and sometimes God will send ppl to guide us, we need to obey as well... Then Ps Robert gave examples like sometimes the teenagers need to obey their parents if parents don't agree with the partner that they choose. Then Ps Robert asked me and dl to share how do we choose our partner, oooohhhh.... anyway, i share mine and dl share his on how we got confirmations to be together.
Pic 13: The other 2 daughters of this gypsy's family
Then we went to visit Ps Robert's outreach church to the gypsies... He had another pastor working together with him, she is Ps Svetlana, a very pretty lady... hehehee... she is a slovakian and she knows how to speak german... so she can communicate with dl and gang very well.
Pic 14: One of the meeting room
Pic 15: The worship team
Pic 16: The girl in the midst of us is Ps Svetlana, she is sharing some message from the Bible and it is in Slovak language, so no idea what they are talking about... kekekkee, unless Svetlana translate it to german and dl translate it to me. That day there ain't so many ppl coz all the gypsies went shopping, they got their salary... so a few ppl there only... heheheee
Pic 17: Dl and I playing with Rebecca and Daniel, they are very shy so need to make fun of ourselves to bridge to them.... Daniel and Rebecca was pulling grass outside the church so we use those grass and make into rings, necklace, crowns... hehehehee
Pic 18: Ps Robert swinging the kids and the rest looking. We are at the backyard of the gypsy's church... they have big place...
After some time of fellowshipping with their church members, we went back home to Ps Robert's church and we had our dinner... suppose to be bbq nite but end up cooking it in the kitchen coz its too windy...
Pic 19: Our windy dinner outside the church... heheheheee... ppl might think that it is a restaurant since so many of us eating. We have few church members with us and one of the couple is Pavol and Marianna, is one of Ps Robert's church member that dl and group knows coz they went to Germany to visit dl's church before i think... ahaha
Pic 20: Last pic for this blog... does it look delicious?? hahahahaaaa....

Pic 5: Then we went to Tesco for shopping... the things in Slovakia is much cheaper than in Germany coz of the exchange rate. 1 Euro to 37.5 Skk, so normal ppl will go shopping... heheheee... like Annerose... heheee
Pic 6: Then we stop at a restaurant to have our lunch at 1pm.
Pic 7: My meal
Pic 8: Dl's meal
Pic 9: An example of how slovakian drivers are... They drive like ppl in KL... hehhee, ya... just like us... but not like ppl in Germany so german ppl are shock at how they drive... heehee, they still haven't see how i drive yet... kekekekekee
We reach Michalovce at about 4pm. There i get to meet Ps Robert and his wife, Rachel and their 2 children, Rebecca and Daniel. Robert is a Slovakian and his wife, Rachel is from England so praise the Lord that i can communite with them very well coz they speak English and Slovak, not German... hhehheheee... Well, dl is the translator all the time. Annerose knows basic English. So dl will translate german to mandarin to me or translate english to german to Siegfried and Michi... hehehehehee
After we get our rooms in Ps Robert's house, we went out to walk in the town in Michalovce while Robert introducing to us about this country of Slovakia. We had ice cream as we walk, the ice cream there are very very cheap. heheheheh...
Then we had dinner at Ps Robert's house and chit chat with them there... no picture taken coz forgotten... hehehehe...
Pic 1: In front of Siegfried's house early morning at 6am, its very cold...
Actually this mission trip is so different from other mission trips that i went before. Other mission trips that i went require us to bless the ppl there like preaching to them, sharing to them.. but this mission trip is to send a big sum of money to bless one of the pastor there, Ps Robert who is taking care of a church. It is a church that Dl's church is supporting so we are here from Germany sending a love offering to them as well as visiting the pastor there and some church members... heheeheee....
Pic 2: Siegfried's car in front of our car, they are leading the way... Beautiful scenery
This mission trip to Slovakia needs 2 days drive... so our first day is only driving and driving and driving from 6am - 8pm. We will pass through Austria too to get to Slovakia.
At 7am, we stop by at a bakery shop to buy our breakfast and hop to the car to have our breakfast in the car. Silly me when into the bakery shop while dl and Siegfried chatting outside, wanting to help dl to save some money so i get the cheapest bread that i can find and bought 4 plain bread, heheheheee... well, its cheap but this plain bread are suppose to eat with ham or to put other fillings in it to eat, being a jakun, i dont know coz i hvn't tasted this plain bread before mahhhh, hehehehee.... so poor dl and i have to eat plain bread, 2 for him, 2 for me... kekekekee. Well for me, that plain bread is so nice, tasty coz im used to eat bread back in M'sia, my normal lunch will be bread... hahahahaaa
Pic 3: Later we had some more bread prepared by Michi for us... so good of him... he made a lot, i think there are more than 10 of this bread with tomato, cheese and eggs in it. So along the journey, they will take and eat... long long journey... and i sleep a lot as if i took sleeping pills like what dl said... hahahaha. Well, other than sleeping i am also reading the book, Heaven is so real. It makes my journey more exciting as i read this book.... Wow... anyway, haven't finish reading it yet.
