On a sunny Saturday in October we travel to Fussen, one of the southmost point in Bayern, and visit the Neuschwanstein Castle. It was built in 1869, and it took about 3 years to built, however the interior was just 1/3 finished, as the last King of Bayern Ludwig the second was too inspired by the musical work of Richard Wagner, and alternated the draft too frequent due to that, so it was not fully finished even when he died...
Unfortunately phototaking is prohibited inside the castle, so what I could take is all the exterior view of it, but I can tell u, that is really FANTASTIC! My friend Gordon said it recalls him about Disneyland, then he starts mumuring about something about literature - original recalls about the copy, the copy is better than the original, etc etc... haa haa... I think the original is better - compared with one of the 'originals' I saw in Tokyo... haa haa.
