vienna/prague 2017
For my remaining vacation days of 2017, I decided to make my way to over to Vienna. It was the perfect time to go, because of the Christmas Markets. Since my friend, Yan, was off at that time too, we decided to travel there together. We had one week off but didn’t want to spend…
8 foods to eat in vienna
Wiener Schnitzel – this means Viennese cutlet. The most popular version is a thinly-pounded piece of veal. I’m not a huge fan of veal, so I opted for the chicken, which is probably the second most popular. Viennese Sausage – I can’t compare it to the canned Vienna Sausage, since I’ve never had it, but this…
6 things i learned in the 3 days i spent in vienna

V. thankful that you made me take piano lessons for all of those years!) So naturally, my inner music nerd was pretty excited to see Mozart and Beethoven’s apartments, both…
christmastime in vienna
I LOVE Christmas. While I don’t think anything can beat Christmas in NYC, Christmastime in Vienna was pretty cool too. The city is decorated and of course, you’ll find Christmas markets all over town. This means you won’t run out of chances to sip mulled wine while you peruse some of the goods that the…
