Since i began to return to office i have had much more chances to write my posts. THREE FUCKING HOURS of commuting to and fro if i travel by mrt. But why hasn't the pace of these posts picked up you ask? It's because of the convenience and comfort provided by Grab, the best ride hailing app in the entire world #kindofsponsored
Still stuffed from the massive meat feast last night, i decided on doing some sightseeing first. Early in the morning and my integrity was tested by these unmanned mrt gantries.
However, Kurt Angle always taught me about the importance of the 3 Is, so i bought a train ticket to Schönbrunn Palace for the price of a filet o fish meal.
Fwah one look and i instant 脚酸.
Oi must make until so spacious anot? Also not say got a lot of tourists.
Europe 就是 like that lor sibei a lot space dunno what to build so make these huge, sprawling palaces that will take you days to get from one end to another.
Imagine walking all the way there just to view a statue... pfft ain't nobody got time for that.
This Neptune fountain quite famous so i walk over to see. Can't deny the intricate details but it would have been nice if they actually turned on the fountain.
The palace grounds are so huge that they managed to fit a zoo into it. 有必要吗?
Ok i see uphill i u-turn.
Never have i walked so much to see so little because everything is so spread out in an effort to justify all these space. That’s more than enough palace for one day so let’s go find some makan instead.
Naschmarkt is Vienna's best known market that is open everyday besides Sunday. I started off at the flea market area where local folks were selling junk from their homes that definitely possess evil spirits.
Followed by the main market area where mostly cheese or pickles were sold.
Rainbow cheese was tempting just because i want my shit to resemble the Teletubbies for a few days.
Because Austria is landlocked, seafood is much pricier and not readily available in most restaurants. Jl and her prawn addiction would disapprove.
Weed stores were also a common sight but i know CNB is reading this so i very 乖 never try ;)
Even Vladimir Putin needs a break from invading Ukraine to grab lunch.
Couldn’t resist a big long duaki angmoh hotdog. I have many criticisms for Europe's lack of variety when it comes to food, but no debate they make the best sausages. Grilled to a crisp on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside.
In winter, you can try some mulled wine which is basically a spiced, toasty red wine that will warm up your insides.
Still, it's not my cup of tea wine, because in SG we have this superior drink called Milo.
We resume the food tour at Nordsee, a popular fast food chain specialising in Fischbrötchen aka fish sandwich.
It was served cold for some reason and tasted almost identical to a double filet o fish burger from Mcdonalds, just longer as all westerners are compared to us Asians ;;
Their toilet entry got gantry and more security than their mrt. Need pay money to pang jio a bit buay song but least it was super clean.
An abundance of historical buildings in Vienna.
But when such buildings are everywhere, they don't seem to be that special.
Another city, another pedestrian shopping street.
And of course, major European city means famous old cathedral. This here is St. Stephen’s Cathedral. Hold up, didn’t i see his mummified hand yesterday?
Problem with these churches is that they are named after the same few saints which is confusing af.
Tiagong before his hand got chopped off, St. Stephen put his palm here and say don’t leave him hanging.
So i hi-fived him.
As a result of that blasphemous act, a disgusting blanket of wet snow hit the city center after my church visit. So unlike the powder snow in Hokkaido which you can brush off with ease.
But heng i got Guan Yin Ma on my side, so i waltzed with zen into this very pink cafe called Café-Konditorei Aida for a sweet treat.
Introducing Vienna's second most famous dessert Sachertorte, a chocolate cake layered with apricot jam. Care to guess what's in first place? Read on for the answer, 好奇宝宝们.
The snow showed no signs of relenting even after my half time break. Sorry Stephen kor kor please pang chance.
But we soldier on, as there are still so many more historic monuments to be underwhelmed by.
My aching feet took me to the Museumsquartier next, where a ridiculous number of museums are gathered within this square.
Since i was in one of the cultural capitals of the world, i was obligated to boost my 文化 with at least one museum visit.
I opted for the Kunsthistorisches Museum hoping to see some kunts.
This museum displays the art and treasures of the Habsburg royal family, one of the largest dynasties in the Renaissance age.
When you learn that the House of Habsburg just wanted to be the very best, that no one ever was, with their impressive Pokemon gym badge collection.
Imagine eating nasi lemak out of these huge ornamental dishes and your ikan bilis gets stuck in between the intricate carvings. Chio but in no way practical.
Truly the stuff of nightmares when it begins to play music in the middle of the night.
An old music box that moves using a metal cylinder, springs and other science shit. Cool.
Sarcophaguses extracted from the tombs in Egypt. Even cooler.
A mummified crocodile because some maniac wanted to be chased around by a crocodile in the afterlife.
The coffin of a child pharaoh, i think? Idk i didn't pay attention in history class and i don't intend to start now.
Feels creepy when you stare into those lifeless eyes..
Holy fuck there’s a 2nd level? 我的脚真的不行了.
What goes on in my head when Trent makes another mistake.
The second level comprised of mostly Greek sculptures and columns which were not all that exciting. That was my cue to end the museum tour which comprised of way more stuff to see than i expected.
The accumulation of snow painted the town white and made it much more aesthetically pleasing.
But my legs were killing me after an entire day of walking so i decided to have dinner and call it a night.
Chanced upon the Wiener Rathaus. It's not a house for rats nor wieners, but Vienna's impressive city hall building.
There was a loooong queue at Figlmüller, the most famous restaurant in the world for....
Wiener Schnitzel. A veal cutlet which is pounded thinly and deep fried into golden, crispy perfection.
The verdict? Don't tell the Austrians but i think Aston's chicken cutlet own 死 this.
But the star of the night was undeniably the no.1 Viennese dessert, apple strudel (or apfelstrudel if you try to say it while having a stroke). If you guessed correctly then 棒棒哦,给你吃我的肉棒. The delicate layers of pastry paired with soft, caramelised apples was decadent and delightful.
I guess this is where Stephen had his first orgasm. I was more than happy to pay for the train ticket this time round.
Supper today is pâté and a slice of cheesy luncheon meat from the supermarket since imma 午餐肉 slut. On hindsight, i should have bought some bread as well because it was as salty as all of you looking at the igstories of my 5 overseas trips this year.
Resting my weary feet while watching some EPL with German commentators. A good ending to a wet, tiring, 20k steps day.
One last special treat for yall who have been patiently waiting for my posts. A little glimpse into my personal space and dirty underwear. I know you are looking out for them in my room tours you filthy little schnitzels. Maybe one day i'll start an Onlyfans and you can buy them for your sick, twisted fantasies.
- End of Day 6 -
