Things I will write about soon: Vast Austrian student protests, Radiohead.
Things I will write about right now: we visited a proper Austrian restaurant/ brewery yesterday, makes all its own beer. I drank the first good beer I've had since leaving England. Beer culture is mysteriously elusive in Wien, or at least you really need to pick your establishment. If it is a bar, it will not serve interesting beer. Yesterday I had both a dark lager in the style of those from Prague (ein prager Dunkler), which was definitely my favourite, and a smoked beer ('Rauchbier'). The list of potential places to drag Ed when he visits is getting perilously long...
And now I will just throw some more pictures out there:
What I see on my way to the computer room (Votivkirche)
Today went for a walk through the Prater at night, we reached the Lusthaus (above with cool moon ) at the S end, so walked in total nearly 9km, 4.5 each way!
A terrifying ghost for halloween fans out there. Thanks to Grace for teaching me how to do this!
Ciao for now!
You are most welcome. And you have me wondering about history now too. "Trotsky has sent me a postcard from Mexico, and a lovely Frida Kahlo painting. I sure hope somebody doesn't ASSASINATE HIM."
ReplyDeleteIf they find my skull pinned to the bed with an icepick I'm blaming you.
Love the Darwin pic - it does sound like exactly the sort of thing natural philosophers should do on their expeditions, and as it's blurry I can even pretend it's Stephen Maturin.
This also: unendlich is an excellent word. As for lusthaus, that doesn't mean what I think it means does it?
