About the only sort of "frilly" place I think is cool off the top of my head would be Neuschwanstein Castle:

Wow, I've been to that place too and it's really beautiful. As far as I remember, it wasn't really frilly on the inside and the walk to get there was amazing, so was the view from top [a bridge over a very deep drop? I don't remember too clearly]. That town was quaint and nice as well and travelling in a really small train was quite a good experience.

This is my apartment building. NO frills. Lots of pink.

That's certainly not how I envisioned a Japanese apartment block, despite being a small industrial town. And weird enough, I don't remember seeing a picture of Japan with a tree in it.

I am jealous.

Some old factories and trading halls are made to look like Byzantine forts/castles. I actually quite like the idea. It adds a little bit of interest to what would otherwise probably be very dull designs.

Seconded for Neuschwanstein, though it was covered in scaffolding when I went. I definitely vandalized the Mariensbrücke.

edit: it's waterproof eyeliner so it will wash off and is probably gone now.

Haha well I live in subsidized government housing, most apartment blocks are way less shitty than that. I'm glad it's pink though, so I can refer to home as a pink love palace.

The view from the top was quite nice.

@ Krampus, is that actually your name?

EDIT : Now that's two places that we've both been at, at different times in our life
I went there 4 years back, what about you?

True story: Neuschwanstein was the inspiration for the Disney castle.

I hate you all who have managed to travel to nice places. I'm yet to go on my eurotrip, I'll probably do that at the end of my degree if I ever get enough money.

The last time I went somewhere really really nice was when I went to Egypt and Turkey some 11-12 years ago. Unfortunately, whilst I enjoyed myself I was too young to fully soak up the history of the place.

Didn't you go on the Transmongolian?

 

[Pessimism]

I fortunately was never stationed in Okinawa or mainland Japan or had to go on an Asiatic float.

Why would I want to see beautiful scenery ruined like this.

God damn that little bitch is sexy.

Nope, you're probably mistaking me with someone else. Only places I've been in the past 5 years are to Sydney, Melbourne, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Brunei.

The little pagoda top thingy doesn't even look like it fits the rest of the bridge look. Totally out of place.

Even Saki isn't that good. It will get you fucked up, but so will a million other better tasting liquors.

Teriyaki sauce (or what passes for it in America) isn't bad, but I couldn't take it on a regular basis.

@Krampus: Porn and some historic religious intolerance isn't exactly what I would call "culture"

I actually really enjoy Sake. I think it tastes great.Plum wine on the other hand is atrocious .

I guess I'm not fixating too much on the architecture there, just the overall image. The reflections of the trees and the pagoda in the water, I like it. Reminds me of a scene from Kim Ki-duk's film Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring, just with more subdued colors.

Looks like you got some serious tumors there pal. I'd get that checked out.
