So life in Vienna has been some what tame.....I haven't really travelled anywhere (Graz and Krems don't even count cuz it's like going to Buffalo from T.O.). However I was really excited when Tina came to visit =) It was soooo comforting to finally see a familiar face. Don't get me wrong, I love my friends here but I haven't seen this girl since last summer, before she took off for her year long exchange!
Taking Tina around Vienna made me fall in love with the city all over again. We went to the palace, ate at a heuriger, visted the Belvedere museum (who else would I go to an art gallery w.??), and cooked a meal for our buddies =)
The week that Tee was here was just completely packed......we were off to Budapest for like 4 days, to not only see the sights but meet her NYU friends =) Budapest was gorgeous and relatively cheaper so we had so much local food lol. We went bathing in the Roman baths while it rained.....went on a walking tour where we met people from all over the world (some were English teachers who were teaching in Prague).......you never really know how big (or small) the world is until you actually travel.....
Tina's NYU friends were so nice and friendly =) we spent the 15th wandering around the city......besides it being my bday, it was Hungary's national Revolution Day....however it isn't like Canada's day where everyone's happy......it's more somber and kinda scary......in all the main attractions (St. Stephen's Basilica, the National Museum), there were cops everywhere, from mid afternoon until late in the evening. We were standing around a station exit when a couple SWAT teams came out and almost surrounded us!
All in all, the day was amazing =) Tina NEVER stopped wishing me happy bday, from 12am on the 15th until the 16th, when we finally got back to our hostel lol We had an amazing dinner with her friends in front of the St stephen's basilica while watching the SWAT team try to prevent riots......glad to know on my birthday, people are rioting! lol
When we finally came home, it felt GOOD to be back in Vienna <3 meal =")"><" It was bittersweet but I will definitely meet up w. her in Spain <3
Thanks a lot Tina =) for everything.........
