Random Ramblings - Austria & Czech Trip - Nov 2014

Currency Exchange

So, I had my currency exchanged at Sunway Pyramid's money exchange. Changed it at the one located near the concourse area (where all the ATMs are located at).

Yesterday's rate was at 4.18 for EURO. :D


I was so happy that the rate is actually this low. Luckily I did not have it changed months earlier as I used to but then again, not changing into a really huge amount, so it doesn't matter much.

However, Czech Crown is not widely available in Malaysia, so I have decided to used my Euro to have it exchanged there. Will put up a review and recommendations on where you should have it exchanged.


A little skeptical of withdrawing Czech Crown at the ATMs in Czech, but I will try this out with a small amount when I'm there. Hopefully it works out fine!

Weather

I have been monitoring the weather and it seems that it might be in the teens to about zero celcius when I'm there. I have decided to just bring over 2 jackets - Uniqlo's Fleece and also a synthetic wool sweater. It will be layered for more warmth.

I can't justify bringing my fat winter jacket as it will be too warm.

Keeping my fingers crossed for this as I don't want to freeze! Brrrrrrrr!

I have the one in purple but mine is in black. Got it at Uniqlo at a mere RM29 when they had a sale going on!

Next trip: Austria & Czech Republic with a hint of Slovakia

I took time off from work for my November 2014 trip.

This time I am heading to Austria, Czech Republic and Slovakia (just a hint though).

I purchased the air ticket from Lufthansa during Matta Fair in September.

Flight: KUL-VIE/PRG-KUL bought at RM2404. What a bargain! However, when I wanted to book the seats, I am suppose to pay a fee! So... I didn't book a seat. :( There goes my window seat!

I have wanted to visit Prague for the longest time and now I am! :D

Going forward, I will try to document all my trips as accurate with where I have my meals, tours that I've bought and etc.

Accommodations for Vienna, Salzburg, Cesky Krumlov and Brno has been booked. All on www.airbnb.com.
