One Saturday this december we had a schooltrip to Vienna to visit the traditional christmas fair. What you should know about the Viennese christmas fair is that it's charming indeed but unbelievably, incredibly c r o w d e d.
And crowd is something I can hardly tolerate, so this led to the idea that me and my friend Anna split off the group and went to explore other parts of Vienna instead.
The cat café
As I later learned it's a common thing in Japan, but it was a shocking new experience for us. Cats cats cats everywhere! Pictures of cats on the wall, cat shaped biscuits, cats on the napkins, on the coasters, on the menu. And real cats sleeping on chairs and walking around proudly in the café shop. Very spoilt ones with superior facial expressions (some cats are very good at that)
I (who do not like cats) felt a little tense there.
The flea marked which turned out to be a simple market
Do not look for flea markets in Vienna - or if you do, make sure, that it's really a flea market. Unfortunately the one we went looking for proved to be nothing like that. We got lost about five times, then finally found it and.... it was just tomatoes, fish and more fish. Ouch.
1 euro shop
It's not a specialty of Vienna, BUT the kind of shop that can make us unconventionally happy. It's stuffed with the coolest and most random things, like crocodile shaped scissors, table tennis balls, nail polish, happy birthday balloons, shoelaces..- and suddenly you feel an urge to have ALL of them, so it's a real challenge to choose what to buy.
The photo exhibition
There's an awesome exhibition of famous photographs and old film cameras in the Westlicht Gallery. There I fell in love with this
The guy who brought a sports bag to carry home the huge pile of Hollister clothes he was about to buy in Vienna
First we didnt understand why he has an empty sports bag with him, but then his classmates told us. It's just funny.
