Vienna Vidi Vici


Halfway through my visit in Vienna and it seems that ever since Marie Antoinette left town to marry Louis king of France, the city is the same. At first glance you might think that time has stopped at the 18th century, that is probably the golden era of Vienna:  Horses, Balls, Opera and Mozart. At second glance you realise your first impression was correct - all that there is to see in Vienna is what remained and was preserved from back then.
That`s what I call Retro!

Don`t get me wrong, the city is beautiful and the history of old Vienna is 
fascinating, but I guess it just lacks the spices I`m after. I hav`nt found street fashion( besides the dudes dressed as Mozart trying to sell concert tickets...)or fashion what so ever. On the other hand food is amazing! I tried so far five different Schnitzels,the local hot dog and a soup bar all yummy.
I am soon heading to Paris, Don't worry a much more thrilling post about Vienna is yet to come- To be continue...

Cheap (Monday) etc

My "touristic/german learning/feeling the city" vacation in Berlin is over now. And to conclude an amazing stay I wish to share with you my findings. I dont realy know who to thank, but I am so very thankfull that this city is so cheap. It starts with the food - from the infamous Currywurst to Asian delices, you can have a complete meal with only 5€. It continues to the alcohol, in most bars beer is served for about 2,50€.
And to complete the circle of life - Shopping:
I sometimes feel the urge to pinch myself in the local second hand stores, the quantities are unbelievable and yes you need to spend some time looking into every box and on every hanger but it is worth it.

I had some luck in a few spots, here are the ones I recommand. Shabat Shalom.

Second hand by weight. 14,99€ for a kilo (!)
Colours: 102 Bergmannstraße, Kreuzberg

Four floors of second hand clothes, shoes and furniture
Humana, Frankfurter Tor, Friedrichshain


The best flee market ever. For second hand and new stuff too
Every Sunday in Mauer Park, Prenzlauer-Berg

Short: twentyfourseven
Top and Tights: H&M
Bag (new): flee market

Flee Market findings:
Bag local designer: 20€
Jeans-Cheap Monday: 25€
earings and necklace: 3€ each

Grafitti and Greens

I´ts been almost two years since I last visited Berlin, And It feels like home. This is the second city after Paris where I feel like I belong. I´ts been an amazing week exploring the city with my new camera. It seems like I see things diffrently. For example I noticed just now how colorful the city is. Even when the sky was a bit grey, I found myself walking around with this huge smile admiring the beatiful architecture and the art of grafitti.
Our apprtment is located in Freidrichshain in east berlin, almost fully rebuilt by the comunists after being destroyed during war world 2. Nowadays it is ruled by punks and I can swear I never saw that many tatoos and piercings in a single street!

Have a lovely week everybody!
