only in Vienna ...

There is a big storm outside. Winds up to 150 kms per hour everywhere. Some roads are closed, the ring is blocked near the Opera because of the "Kinderopernzelt" - a giant tent mounted on top of the opera for children - might fell off. I have spent the day sleeping, eating, reading and relaxing. In the afternoon I met Matthias for a chat at Café Prückel. A wonderful place opposite the MAK directly at the ring. It was so nice to sit there and enjoy a cup of coffee and a piece of cake. There was this old lady - wearing sandals, a cleaning lady's uniform over a long sleeved white shirt and glasses as thick as a soda bottle. At some point she went to the piano and started playing all kinds of songs. My Fair Lady, some Italian stuff, really nice music all in all. She left the piano from time to time and walked back to her table, sat down and started singing also. She must have been a regular at the place. I love Vienna! That reminds me I should go to the theatre...

What else happened today? I watched "Eragon", which was pretty cool; and I have bought some plane tickets from Frankfurt to Vienna to be able to be here for the football finals. It might be a good idea to work in Vienna during that time. I hope nothing will come up to stop me doing this. And I have also found out you can try out climbing in the "T-Hall" in Frankfurt every Sunday afternoon for 7 Euros. Gotta go next weekend!
