La Cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-Strasbourg, their most iconic structure, and pretty much the base of their "city centre" i din take this photo lols, i mean i really lost ALL the photos =/ or maybe my sis kept some of them ah wadeva. anw there's like, a row of cafe and restaurants in front of the cathedral, and not far away frm there is sth like the city square, its like an open space where fairs and other stuff are held. when we were there, a Russian fair thingy was being held. yea so the cafes and restaurants make for a cool place to hang out, although its mostly pretty crowded, cos, well its right beside the icon of the city, so duh -.- oh and the food is good too ^^ like normal western foodstuffs. we had lamb rack on one of the days and it was just :D and one of the eateries near the cathedral sells one of the best saucissons, i.e. sausages ive ever tasted. its dam juicy and, the one with cheese has cheese spurting out when u first bite into it, then it just oozes out of the centre of the sausage...*drool...*
lol random pic. its their "skytrain" thingy, kinda like a tram, but WAY cooler. its nicer than our mrt, i swear. and its really friggin quiet and sleek.
Maison Kammerzell, one of their oldest restaurants + structures. the food there is...good la, but i think i ordered the wrong stuff. my sis ordered salmon, and it was terrific, while i ordered some fish thingy, i forgot the name. its like, the fish meat is rolled around bundles of carrots and stuff which means i zhijie tio turn off -.-cos each roll is 20% fish 80% veg. i mean, im not saying french cuisine is ftl, no. and the "fish rolls" looked pretty, cos its like, a vibrant display of colours. aiya its jus a mismatch of tastes, so to speak. doh i dunt have a penchant for greens -.- oh btw their windows, the glass panes have "blowholes" in them, cos this is like a really old structure, frm the 15th century, so they preserved it, so the glass is still the dam old sort, like need ppl to blow into them before can form glass. we took a picture of a blowhole, but sadly, its lost=/
anw, theres another area in strasbourg called la petite france. there're more cafes and restaurants here, and its quieter than the cathedral area. so its nice if you'd like a peaceful afternoon ^^ oh and got this confectionary shop there, sells all sorts of jams. dates, apricots, lots of fruits u dun normally see being made into jam lol.
ok i was gonna write abt something i felt indignant about, but ill leave tt to another time, this post is long enough lol
p.s. i dun think ive done justice to strasbourg, its probably much nicer than i've been able to describe, all i can say is it's superb holiday location if you're sick of holidays in big cities, and there're many place for you to explore, wad i've described is really just the tip of the iceberg.
