sans.souci.no.worries.無.憂.慮

this all happened last friday as soon as your course ended at 4pm....

the weather hasn't been kind. it snowed over night and continue snowing the whole day. you finished your course early at 4 pm, sun is about to set but you are geared up for sans souci. you are so close to the palace of sans souci, you just want to seize the chance to get there before sunset and all you want is just a glimpse. a glimpse of this stylish rococo style palace.

so you went, your german colleague told you it's just 5 min walk away, it took you 15 min, 5 min to the edge of the park another 10 min to get to the close proximity with sans souci.

sans souci is beautiful indeed, rococo style architecture and lovely motifs, yellow wall, and you not only got a glimpse but also an up close and personal with sans souci.

you feel safe, there're enough tourists or locals wandering around and so you hike up the steps to the palace, the back view but a better view as you suspected, not just for the architecture but also the outlook to the park, in dusk.

you wanted to locate the chinese house, a prussia interpretation of chinese, but you couldn't orientate yourself, there's no map within the proximity. you tried, but the park is vast and there's not a soul outside the proximity of sans souci.

the snow is getting heavier  you begin to accumulate snow yourself, so you abundant your idea of searching and retreat to your hotel. the last stretch of the journey was unpleasant, snow accumulate in your glasses, your shoulder and your hat. you beginning to look like a snowman.

you made it back to the hotel, albeit accumulated bulk of snow but you're not wet nor soaked. you're glad you went out, and met sans souci - up-close and personal^^

sans.souci.no.worries.無.憂.慮

how you wish you can dwell in the place or a state of no worries all the time. but you know that's wishful thinking and you're really thankful for this trip cum training, an extension of your territory, somehow, some part of you, you are still untamed and adventurous as ever.
