Went to Europe for the second time in two months. Last time I stopped by Vienna for three hours without leaving the airport. This time I had a five-hour stopover and I took the City Airport Train (CAT) into the city. There are a lot to see in Vienna. Unfortunately I got to the city after 7 p.m. and didn’t get to ride the Vienna Ring Tram. I walked from the CAT station to St. Stephen’s Cathedral (Stephansdom), cut through a few side streets in between and had a nice Viennese dinner before heading back to the airport for my flight to Kosice.
After two days of meeting in Kosice, I came to Prague to meet other regional teams. Prague is regarded by many as one of Europe’s most charming, colorful and beautiful cities. As the plane descending over Prague, it felt like flying into Taipei, with rivers and hills through and around the city. It’s very easy to get around the city by The Prague Metro, which is really deep underground. While it was only late spring, it got really hot in the conference room with so many people there. They had to bring in all the fans they had in the office to cool off the conference room. Friday night after dinner, I finally had time to walk around the city and see the Charles Bridge. It’s breathtaking looking over the bridge to see all the castles, something I was not able to capture on the camera.
