Hopefully, I will have enough time to cover these places.
So, I reiterate. History & Cultural Trip & many photos taking. No Cheonging and little drinking. Of course, must enjoy the scenery of a small part of Europe.
Lastly, if we meet in Shanghai or here, in the near future, I have a few plates/discs of Pu'Er Cha (if you like this blend) I bought from Yunnan. We will have tea.

Dear Brother,
Do not mention it, I am just trying to share my humble experience. Not much but all that I know. If you travel by Eurorail, I believe you can purchase tickets via internet and pay by using Credit cards. The troublesome part is the collection of tickets. Please do take good care of your belonging, especially when you are in night trains. The italians are fast in taking things away from you (even a whole back pack) without you noticing it. In addition, with the in flux of East Europeans into the West Europe, it is worst than before. Please be vigilant, and do not take things for granted.
Europe is beautiful, especially the hilly part of Austria, italy is full of 'stone', etc. Paris is a beautiful place. I am not sure whether you have time for all you want to do. Plan before you go.
PM me should you have more questions.
Thank you for the offering of good tea. After quitting alcohol completely more than 10 years ago, I am into Chinese tea appreciation. I would be more than happy to have a tea session with you.
Have a pleasant trip.
