random sign

i woke up feeling pretty unmotivated yesterday but the sun was shining brightly and i thought... you really should get out and enjoy it.  i found myself walking in the direction of the naschmarkt (a really cool huge market here where you can buy fresh produce and also sit to eat/drink at the many cafes etc) and on the way i passed this sign....
it really made me smile (in case you can't read the small writing it says 'be happy, smile, be joyous, stop looking so bleeding miserable').  ha. bobby's foodstore (schleifmuhlgasse 8, 4th district) is a shop that sells english/american imported food/drink.  they sell pickled onion monster munch AND cans of strongbow!!!!! (although a little on the pricey side so i might only buy a can in desperation!).  i sat at the naschmarkt and drank a couple of beers in the sun and then on the way back home i saw a rainbow in the fountain...
not such a bad day after all!

  5. I think blogging can be very relieving, like a diary in a way. Back in the days when I was less in harmony (ahh the youth :) it really helped me to write things down at times :) Anyway, will be coming back here, I love reading about other "foreigners" experiences with Austria - can be tricky at times..
