Vienna keeps al the magic. Even after six years the city is still able to seduce me like the first time. Vienna is much more than simple touristic sight seeing. There is the enormous pleasure of havinga beer at noon in Karlsplatz, a place that could be unpleasant for the people we can meet there. I am talking about Kunsthalle, which was build in the 90's to be for some time an exhibition hall. It stayed until today. It became not only a nice gallery but also a terrific meeting point in Karlsplatz. Karlsplatz subway station has got some strange people. But I am not afraid. I would walk there even by late night. In Kunsthalle people can have beer, lay on the sun and chat for a long time. Sunset makes the day just perfect. There are peope everywhere. By night, in MuseumsQuartier it's the same. White wine is as good as beer. The place is full. It's hard to find a table without reservation. And it's also hard to find a better place to be in Vienna at this time. Time goes by so fast while drinking and eating ham and cheese. It's Monday but people go home slowly. As slow as I walk back to Josefstädt Straße. There is almost nobody at street. Night bus appears. Even for one stop it's worth catching. Six years later I am back in Vienna. It's so nice to be back!
