Today, I
went with the Erasmus students I have met for a bit of a sightseeing/ adventure
day. We begin by going for lunch at some amazing restaurant, where you can pay
what you want and eat as much as you want. The food is Pakistani, and was
delicious! The atmosphere inside the place was unlike any I have ever
experienced in a restaurant before. Some people where sat on cushions on the
floor- others sat at odd mismatched tables. Everything was made from recycled
materials and created an almost student orientated environment. I paid five
euro’s as advised by some local students. This got me two plates of a main and
a desert. I would highly recommend anyone that visits Vienna to take a trip to
this restaurant that is so dysfunctional it works.
We then took
the metro train system to the museum quarter, where we explored around a few
museums and found that in the National History Museum we could enter for five
euro’s (this was at a student rate). We seen several historic animals, some we
weren’t even aware had existed.
A very
famous, but very small statue was on show at this museum, it was called the
Real Venus of Wilendorf. She was a rather peculiar statue, however symbolised
beauty in the time she was created.
We then all
typically finished our day with a Starbucks, nothing better when the weather is
beginning to take a turn for the worst and we had all been walking for long
periods of time throughout the day. I learnt a lot from the other Erasmus
students about their culture and what traditions they celebrate- all of which I
am willing to try out on the appropriate dates whilst here in Vienna.
