| Vienna is quite a beautiful city. The subway system is efficient and cheap... which was helpful because my hostel was quite a ways out of the city center. Speaking of the hostel, it was terrible. On the internet they claim to have free internet, a DVD library, a TV, and foosball. No internet, not even to pay for, no TV, no DVD's, and foosball cost one euro to play! It was unbelievable. Vienna is famous for classical music. It was home to greats such as Mozart and Beethoven. My last night in Vienna I went with an Australian I met at the hostel to a ballet at the State Opera House. It was a large opera house and its entryway and great hall were amazing. The ballet was set to a full orchestra. There were four ballets, two of which I was highly impressed by. One of these was a contemporary performance set in front of a video screen showing the most gruesome photos. It was disturbing and sadly would never have been approved in the states. There are two travel stories from Vienna which tell in much better detail two of my more memorable experiences from Austria. |
