.there were huge plans for this weekend. I visited Vienna, where I was supposed to meet with my classmate from the times long forgotten (91-94 in Kiev!). We've not seen each other for 14 years but this blog enabled him to find a contact on me. So I guess blogs are good for something ;).Jurij is currently on internship in the UN centre and therefore we went for an interesting dinner with many more students the first night. Restaurant chosen was specializing on grilled ribs and everybody tasted it. I have to admit, it was not bad at all :). Evening was nice, with all the new faces, I've never seen before and probably won't see again... Once again I was forced to use foreign languages for a couple of days (English, Russian and a bit of German), so it was an inspiring training session ;).
Saturday was set to be warm and sunny. Thus we decided to do some sightseeing (as I knew only a little about Vienna from my previous visits). Luckily the public transport is quite comfortable, you can get whenever you want fast enough... Plan of the day consisted of visiting Schonbrunn, Belvedere, Stephansdom, Votivkirche, Hofburg, Rathaus, Museum Quartier and many more. I'm quite proud to announce that we did it :). It took a lot of energy and one sunburn, but everything was covered. We were accompanied by a beautiful girl Natasha, so the whole day was brighter ;). Because this trip was so short, we decided to see also some nature and leisure zone of the capital and walked along the Donau Insel, where many bars are, people are sunbathing, roller-skating, biking or just chatting and relaxing.
On Sunday I was leaving at midday so not much was possible to visit any more. Yet I've taken some photos of the famous Hundertwasserhaus (really not an ordinary block of flats) and the river Danube. From what I've seen, Vienna is a really nice place to live, with plenty of exciting places to visit, enough possibilities to relax and spend some time with friends. Maybe I'll visit this town soon again :)...
