JACOB JR, MY JEWISH WORLD. STROLLING AROUND TRAUNKIRCHEN. TRAUNKIRCHEN - AUSTRIA

 Tuesday, Iyar 15, 5781. April 27, 2021.  Shalom! World. Traunkirchen - Austria Traunkirchen is a real hidden gem in Austria. The Traunsee is the closest scenic lake to Vienna, with lofty mountains. Guidebooks all rave about Hallstatt - an idyllic little town approximately 40-minute southwet from Traunkirchen. Unfortunately, with the scenic location comes the usual downside: hordws of tourist aimlessly wandering the narrow streets with their smart phones. The Chinese are so enamored with the place that they have built an exact replica of the town in the Chinese province of Guangdong. Not so much in Traunkirchen. It might lack some of Hallstatt's charms, but it certainly wins out on the quiet beauty. Traunkirchen is an approximately (2,5h) from Vienna. You can expend your time walking around the small city feeling each second always unforgettable. Cultural Support: Jacob Jr. Benleumi, Advisor, Consulting and Education.

Tuesday, Iyar 8, 5781. April 20, 2021.  Shalom! World.  Bar Ktery Neexistuje. Dvorákova 1. Brno - Czech Republic. The Bar that Doesn't Exist is a Czech joke about this classical space. The bar uses 3 floors and is crowed every day or night by locals and tourists. The variety of the coctails will make you nervous when you decided to chose.  Believe me that Bar Ktery Neexistuje exist and it will be a very confortable expererience.. Enjoy it.
