Vienna gonna call me?

So much has been happening i have hardly had time to get on the internet, let alone recount in a large post. I am now in Vienna, Austria and it is my second day here, having arrived yesterday in the evening. The city is pretty much what i expected: it is similar to Germany, but more cultured and parisian. The people are very friendly and i can see how it shares the number one spot as the most livable city with Melbourne. I could easily live here, it is very peaceful but still feels alive.

Today Steve and I slet in due to a late night out. We then had a long casual walk around the city and visited a few museums and palaces. This place is chocked with museums. They are everywhere. It is some weird parallel universe of a city, where culture is encouraged and enjoyed instead of shunned, but it could just be for the tourists. Along with Museums everywhere there is also loads of classical music being pushed. In Melbourne we have people walking around with clipboards trying to sign people up for paintballing. Here they are offering opera or classical music, and there are lots of them doing it. Last night at the club I turned around on the dancefloor and there was a guy standing there in full Mozart getup. It was intense.
