Wien im Winter

Well, it has been a while since I updated my blog. It is now starting to resemble a common travel blog.
Not that I have anything against travelogs, travelling or blogging in general, however, I feel there are just too many of them out there.

Anywho, here are some new pictures from the winter trip to Vienna.

On the hike to Schönbrunn Palace


Ok so I took a couple of animal pictures and will get more uploaded in due time.

The first factor would be the extremely low temperatures during winter which may not be conducive for 'immersion' in a regular day-to-day situation. With the help of amazing friends here, I have always been a part of the social-circle with ease. I find myself in the presence of young,educated Austrians in their mid-20s in the midst of spending a fantastic evening out in town. It came as a shock for me to find almost all businesses (except restaurants)cease operations after six and nothing is open during Sundays. Only one mall exists in the entire city :EUROPARK.
