Vienna: Museum, Townhall & Stephansdom Quarter

School is finally drawing to a close and I now have some time to see more of Vienna. But it's just TOO COLD!! Gloves are one of the most useless things and I need to have the guide book in my hands so they freeze along with my chin...


Christmas market in the Spittelberg Pedestrian Area. These markets are everywhere in Vienna, and they just add to the festive atmosphere. The punsch helps too :P

Punschkrapfen that I bought... Too bad it doesn't taste nearly as good as it looks. Tastes like industrial chemical coated in sugar... Yuck!

Sharon's Dinner Party

Sharon's mom came to visit her as well, and they rented an apartment in 20th district. Sharon invited a whole bunch of friend for a Chinese dinner party. The Chinese people liked it because we missed Chinese food, and the non-Chinese people got to taste authentic Chinese cuisine.

Vienna: Musikverein

Another concert I attended was by the Vienna Philharmonic, the same orchestra that performs for the New Year's Concert. I got the standing ticket again and the performance was wonderful with symphonies, opera and flute and harp concerto by Mozart. The only thing that wasn't so nice was the guy who shushes everybody -.-||
