three weeks to go ..
.. until university is over for this semester, continuing with winter semester starting in october then. at the moment I’m learning for an exam on wednesday, facing the next one right on monday and waiting for many more until 1st of july. already finished some classes with success, need to write some papers too .. afterwards I will have time for travelling, doing more on my job and enjoy the summer.
on the job
still have about 5-7 students, some quite finished and close to their practical test. soon gonna get some new ones, as summer holidays start and normally that’s the time most young want to make their driving license. should have a full calender with lots of hours driving and maybe also some teaching theory at the school. to be honest, I’m really happy about my job (especially the money haha) 
freetime .. enjoy, relax, have fun
was in cinema quite often during the last weeks, which I already reported on my latest entry. meantime we also watched “star trek”, which we found quite good .. maybe best movie this year so far my friends said .. even if we are not fans of the series. next one gonna be “terminator: salvation” on wednesday.
beside I hadn’t the best time in poker, lost quite often and have terrible down swing at the moment. now gonna take a break from live cash game, need to refresh and recover from loosing so much. most terrible thing beside: last saturday when I came back to my car at 1.30AM, I found the left sidemirror of my car hanging down, teared by some stupid vandals. *damn* … that will cost me another 160 bucks minimum (will bring my ride to the repair on thursday). Thanks bastards!!
to stay one moment with poker, just want to inform you about our new blog project. some friends of mine asked if I want to blog about poker with them and as I already had a poker blog for myself some time ago (never update during the last year) I agreed and now report on my (Maniac7) poker activities under http://outofaces.blogspot.com/ (only available in german!!!) together with my colleagues Stefan and Roland.
about one week ago I bought the sims 3 and started playing. the game is quite fun, something different between playing cards and sport games. I like the gameplay and you have so many more options in comparison with part 2. think this will be bring many interesting hours .. especially in autumn or winter when it gets worser outside. right now I try to focus on outside activities whenever I can .. problem at the moment is too much university and work, but that will change! I also started to train a little more again, … climbing onto my homebike every evening for minimum 30 minutes and hope to get back in shape during the next one two months .. think that’s a possible and senseful aim!
vacations .. there we go
so far I want to travel a lot this summer, but it depends on how much work is waiting at driving school. I have to pay attention to my job, as july and august are the most important months in my job … but I also want to enjoy some time of my holidays from university .. I need it to be honest!
that’s why I plan the following trips in summer:
- two days/weekend in Graz .. visiting Karin and Stefan, maybe also meet with two or three other friends, have fun, go shopping and enjoy nightlife 
- four/five days in Vienna (long weekend possible) .. visiting Werner, Melanie, Thomas, Martin and all the others that left our beautiful city to find their luck in Vienna. I need this cause I really miss some of them and also want to look for new camera equipment.
- one week in Porec/Croatia (family vacation) .. first family vacation since ages, but I’m promising this one for such a long time, so this year I can’t say no again. looks like we gonna go for a one-week-sun-sea-relax-trip in the hotel we stayed very often in former times (in the meantime it became a 4*+ hotel and I can’t wait to see and enjoy it. for sure will take my camera with me!)
- two days in Italy (weekend with friends) .. promised this one to my friends, so we may go for a short weekend at the italian coast, just heading to Grado, Lignano or somewhere else reachable within 2 or 3 hours drive.
- optional: already got asked for a trip with friends in september, goin somewhere in Austria and enjoy the time. no clear info so far, .. but I’m interested, so I may take part if they go for it. later on I will be visit Rome for the first time – which will be in autumn, as Daniel and Bianca are goin on student exchange for the winter semester. we want to visit them there for some days, but that’s long time to go.
until next time .. have a good one!

in the summertime
Lately I missed posting a lot here. Had no motivation and not much time. Work kept me on my toes during the last weeks. Right now I normally have around 6-8 students, always depends on little fluctuations when I have students just for some basics and get to give just 6 to 12 lessons and don’t have to bring them to the exam. Last month then also was a good one in terms of money the best one so far since I started to work as a driving instructor beside my study.
Study is terrible at the moment, not much motivation for this … to be honest I’m a bit stagnant and have to learn more the next weeks, which shouldn’t be that easy, .. especially when facing a pretty nice summer and damn hot temperatures outside! Just took out my shorts and bought some new shirts yesterday when I had a day shopping in the city (maybe was a bit too much as my feet really hurt this morning haha .. running around from 8AM until 6PM)
Was in cinema four times in five weeks which is really much for me, cause I had some months without cinema before. Maybe it was because of missing movies I wanted to see, but I think it was more matter of finding people to go with. Now I always took a break from my daily grind and tried to watch some movies. So I went to see “Monsters vs. Aliens” and “Fast and Furious” with Tini, “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” with Kerstin and “Angels and Demons” (Illuminati) with Kerstin, Martin and Konni. Most of it was fun and ok, good start into a summer full of movies, .. more to come soon! Should watch “Star Trek” with Tini on wednesday and want to see “Ice Age 3”, “Transformers 2”, “Terminator Salvation”, “Public Enemies” and some others later on.
Summertime = Funtime
Beside few time for my camera at the moment and beside I had to stay many hours at home and at university due to the load of papers to write and stuff to learn, I didn’t have much time to go out or enjoy nature. Summer came over the country, the lake is calling and same does parks and sunshine outside, but so far no time … I hate this situation cause I love summer. Anyways I try to enjoy every free moment when I have time for a walk or meet with friends outside. For the leisure time inside I just bought a Playstation 2 with a Singstar bundle and some more Singstar games to have enough for upcoming game evenings. First of these evenings just took place last friday, when I invited five colleagues from university to come over and have fun. Bianca, Stefan and Elma showed up in time at 6PM, but unfortunately Daniel missed the whole evening as he was in Vienna that day and went home really late .. so he arrived some minutes after midnight. We then played on until 2AM and I went to bed around 3AM or so .. can’t remember exactly. Just know I got up the next morning at 7AM, so I just had 4 hours of sleep .. which may have influenced my shopping trip I mentioned above 
The evening was much fun, .. I made lasagne for us and everyone enjoyed the meal (took my favorite recipe from Jamie Oliver once again, .. just awesome stuff). Singstar really rocks and we sang a lot the whole evening, .. even when Elma had to leave earlier and Denise wasn’t able to come due to some time problems. Myself was a bit hoarse afterwards … Pictures to follow soon!
What else to tell ya? Oh, maybe too much and nothing interesting, so I gonna stop it now and resume with another entry these days.

social networking
Time for another update on my blog. Holidays over, university started again last monday and the week was quite hard. Had a lot of stress due to some classes to visit and enough driving lessons with my students. Even today I had university until afternoon and so my weekend just started some hours ago .. not the best conditions at the moment .. I can’t relax a lot and would be happy about a week doin nothing and just fly somewhere and take one week off. Anyways, it’s just dreaming and wishing .. no way right now.
We were in the studio once again this week, .. second time recording there and this time we had to record something for the radio. We decided on a report (which got a funny touch cause of the topic and how we did it) and we did quite well. Today we presented it in the class and got a lot of positive feedback. Should be another good mark for that class which is now finished.
In driving school I still have 6 students, .. finished with two last thursday (successful practical exam), had another two who just had to do the basics lessons and now do self-education with their parents and unfortunately had to give one student to a colleague as I’m full with the others and won’t have for any more work beside university. Now when it goes into the exam phase for me too, .. as most of the university exams are in May and June, I have to focus on them!
Social Networking .. a crucial thing?
Today I read an article on social networking. We do a lot of research and work about this topic at university too. The article said that all these networks are giving "new “worlds” to a lot of people. Origins and roots get forgotten (something Tanya Nagar also stated out on deviantart some weeks ago) and masses get more and more interested in other things. The point is, that we all get new interests and places to be around .. this also counts for the internet and I see it when I look at myself. Some years ago I started with photography and had my first experience with a network or better said plattform to present my work. This was when I registered at deviantart. At the moment I don’t really use it anymore .. just look there from time to time, no posting and uploading. The last years I focused on my blog and stopped presenting in open communities. The only places where I upload my pics too are flickr and studivz. (but I don’t use flickr so often, don’t like it so much). In terms of social networking I registered to studivz some two years ago I think. I always said “never go to facebook and become a part of this “mass surveillance” system, which we call “Gläserner Mensch” in german. Everything is visible, everything is open to the public … the slogan “big brother is watching you” (G. Orwell) has become truth and is always present. Anyways I couldn’t resist very long and became a member of facebook too (which was some two months ago). Twitter, another “wonderful” tool of modern networking, got introduced to me by Markus in November 2008 and I started to twitter too. At the moment I don’t twitter so often … I don’t like it anymore .. and to be honest again, it gets more and more boring .. and why should I report everything I do in the internet? I saw people updating every hour or reporting on every duty from eating, to writing, goin out and so on .. life became public .. and I want to avoid that for myself. The same counts for several others services like last.fm, .. does everyone wants to know what I listen too? I could go on with this list and give another dozens of examples, but it’s not necessary I think. Social networking is a great thing, .. it’s nice to stay in contact with people, especially with the ones you don’t see every day or just know from the net, .. but it could be a difficult thing in future too. I will be a part of the networks furthermore but I won’t post a lot on twitter and don’t think my activities on deviantart will get better again. Thanks again also to Tanya for her interesting words and thoughts about the topic!

happy holidays
So far my holidays went pretty good – but that’s only in terms of work and upcoming 1st of May when it comes to the money … the only moments I really had to relax, were the days around easter .. when I had a weekend enjoying every single second .. also goin for a walk at the lake with family and play some poker with friends.
During the last 1 1/2 weeks of holidays from university, I’ve never seen the city at daylight, walking along the stores or goin for a photo walk. Just drove through streets when giving lectures to my students. I had to teach a course outside of Klagenfurt, in Köttmannsdorf, 10 people participating .. 8 girls and 2 guys – all quite ok and nice, so it was fun. Most of them also make the practical part with me – so at the moment I have 11 students for driving. In total that means I will loose two students today if they pass there practical exam this morning and another two by tomorrow as they are finished with education at driving school and take the rest with a private teacher (§122 self education system). So the remaining 7 should give the upcoming weeks enough work beside university.
By the way university .. that’s resting a bit at the moment, .. should do a lot .. and have a lot more waiting the next months, but to be honest I don’t have a clue how to manage. I’m a bit scared about all the exams, presentations and works I should learn and prepare for .. cause I don’t have much time right now. Hopefully my students get to learn fast and take their driving license as soon as possible, so I could take a break in late May or early June, .. anything else would mean problems!
Some two weeks ago (at the start of the holidays) I had a pretty interesting day at a recording studio with Daniel, Bianca, Denise, Stefan and Max .. some friends and colleagues from university. We had to record something for radio – a class about radio editing, how to produce and so on. We decided to record a modern tale called “Princess Leather Skirt” .. just crazy. Had a lot of fun there, as it was a professional studio where Daniel normally works from time to time. I really loved it .. to be honest, I would wish to record a song there once .. that would be great! We soon gonna have the chance for, as we need to record another project the next weeks .. so I keep you in the thing:
… any proposals which song I should take? (just thought about some old boygroup songs and other stuff in my pitch of the voice, and some stuff I’m easy in)
Robbie Williams: “Feel” or “Angels”
Sunrise Avenue: “Fairytale gone bad”
Rainhard Fendrich: “Haben sie Wien schon bei Nacht gesehen” or “I am from Austria”
Madonna: “Don’t tell me” or “Secret”
NSync: Bye, bye, bye
Backstreet Boys: “Quit playing games with my heart” or “As long as you love me”
… just some ideas so far.
On that day in the studio I made many photos with the 30D I had with me, using the 35mm/2.0 as well. So here are some pics from our funny day.

monochrome
Today just some random shots from the last four weeks.
Those shots were taken some three weeks ago, when Karin & Stefan visited us and we headed to the city to have some coffee and talk on a sunday afternoon.
Both shots taken last weekend, when I had some friends at my place. There are more photos, but nothing too show in the blog … don’t like them much.
I’m goin to have some driving lessons in the afternoon as a student needs some more practice before his driving test. Gonna take the Audi A3 once again. Maybe I’ll do some photos afterwards at the driving school or with the car. Weather looks nice too, maybe also heading to the lake for a short walk. We’ll see, .. gonna post shots if I get some!

waiting for spring
At the moment I’m not very creative in terms of writing a new blog entry. The past weeks were more or less nothing special. After we came back from Vienna the rest of the holidays was a mix of boring stuff, hanging around, doing nothing and going crazy cause of some stuff in my life. So to be honest I would like to change several things but sometimes it’s not possible to do so.
Last entry was about one month ago, .. I don’t really remember in detail what happened since that one. University started again, .. joined 16 classes and actually run crazy when I think of that huge number .. never did so many courses in one semester I think (or better said not in my actual study). So far it’s running good, .. but I don’t think it’s the best decision I’ve done .. cause it’s the summer semester and I know myself when it comes to spring and summer
My grands had their golden wedding some three weeks ago, .. myself took some pictures too, but main photography part was delegated to Markus who did a good job on it. So I won’t show anything from this here, nothing interesting I think. Beside I invited Daniel and Bianca for dinner after our Vienna trip, just to sum up and have a relaxed evening with some mexican food (made by me) and playing card games afterwards (again no pictures, just made some while I prepared the meal). I was invited to two or three rounds of poker with friends, most of the time at Chris’ place where we tend to meet up. I was at my favorite card room twice, but no big stories to tell, was loosing all the time. I went shopping twice the last two weeks – once even drove to Villach and visited the Atrio (biggest shopping center in the south of Austria), got some pullover and shirts and had a nice day there. The next day (which was last sunday) I had some friends at my place, playing poker again .. funny afternoon. Maybe gonna post some photos from this one later on .. just took a few, again more or less snapshots. Went to the pub quiz at the Claddagh (irish pub in town) with Kerstin, Georg and Markus last thursday, .. and later one visited the location again this tuesday when St. Patricks Day was celebrated together with 3-year anniversary of the Claddagh.
So rest of the week, beside some lecture I gonna have whole friday and saturday, I have a student goin to the practical driving exam today, .. hope she gonna pass .. and another two students with lessons in the evening. Same thing was yesterday, when I had another four lessons .. good week in terms of money I would say … many driving lessons mean more money at the end of the month Best thing this week: One my colleagues is ill, so I got some students from him and also the car he normally uses. So the last two days I drove around with an Audi A3 Sportback .. really nice car .. wanna have it haha.
Ok, enough now .. I’m bored .. think you too after reading all this stuff above. Last but not least … I joined facebook some week ago .. have a look if you wanna add me .. just ask!

part two of my report on our trip to Vienna, 9th – 12th Feb.
Link: part one of the report
Wednesday, 11th Feb.
Wednesday was shopping day and therefore we decided to drive to the SCS, which is the biggest shopping center of the country. The day started with rain – changing into snow soon – when we drove down to Vösendorf. To take it short, we stayed in the SCS the whole day .. running around like mad, visiting many shops .. looking for cloths and other stuff and having some delicious meal at a mexican/spanish restaurant where we ate some „monster tortillas“, that filled our stomachs. (the menu of Casa Pueblo >> link). We went home around 5.15PM and parked our car some minutes past 6PM in Werner’s street again. When we came close, I was called on my mobile – Werner asked for our appointment we talked about on Tuesday. We wanted to visit the Montesino with him and some other friends. So we fixed to meet around 8.30 to 9PM. Daniel, Bianca and I took the underground to Gasometer and entered the card room approx. at 9PM. Werner already stood at the bar, having some drink and there was a tournament in play too. We watched that one and some five cash tables that were open and offered a lot of action. To hold it short again, Werner and I joined the cash game at one table, but both weren’t very lucky that evening – so no big win for us and a good cause to leave the place before midnight. Down to the subway again, riding home and have some cacao at our flat. By the way, the whole “bath” was situated in the kitchen, so we had the shower etc. next to the fridge and cooking area .. we found that very funny, cause it was something new to us, but no problem.
We had a lot of talk about several things fort he next two hours so it was around 2AM when we switched of light. To be honest, that day wasn’t perfect – the shopping mall was not my thing – I like Maria Hilfer Street much more and SCS isn’t so interesting at all.
Thursday, 12th Feb.
This time we slept a bit longer and started our trip to the city center around 10.30AM. I decided to take some more photos this day, as we all missed the days before.
how to look *great* in the morning
Bianca already looking better than us
So first of all, when we smelled fresh air leaving the subway station at the MQ (Museumsquartier), we did some shooting in front of posters and walls – just some crazy posing and having fun
following two show our *smiling happy ones* ..
.. and Bianca and me posing for Daniel taking the photo
We then walked up the whole Maria Hilfer Street and entered a lot of shops. I don’t remember how many stores we were in and how much clothes we tried on or looked for other stuff – but I think it were more than 20 or 30. In the end we got a lot of cool stuff like some shirts, jeans, card games, mugs, accessories etc. – we were pleased with it. At 4PM we went into KFC on the upper end of the street, was the first time for all of us to eat there. Had some quick lunch and then walked back to MQ. On our way, some shopping again – another stop at Starbucks to have a coffee and cookies. Took the underground back to our crib.
random shots from that day on Maria Hilfer Street
again the “who looks more weird” contest
after lunch at KFC
the typical window shopper bargain hunter
We packed our bags, brought everything into an order and prepared our meal for the evening. Daniel and I jumped into the subway once again and went to our car. Thanks to terrible viennese evening traffic in the city center, it lasted about an hour to come back to the flat by car again. We parked it, got our luggage in and in the meantime Bianca already started cooking.
Quickly made it ready, enjoyed the meal, relaxed some minutes and then left the place and entered the car for our way home, which was approx. 8.30PM. Navigation system helped once again – made us find a good way out of the city – and so we got to the highway.
We arrived in Klagenfurt at 0.10AM and I after some hugs and a short good bye ceremony with Daniel and Bianca, I took my bags and entered my flat. I quickly unpacked most of my things and then went to bed to have some sleep. So this was Vienna, February 2009.
Last but not least …
Song of the week: Guru Josh Project – Infinity 2008
(thanks to Krone Hitradio who played it some hundred times when we were in the car)
Drink & meal of the week: elder soda & italian pasta
Highlights of the week: The Producers in the Ronacher, finding a 30D and Thursday which was the best shopping day.
Disappointment of the week: Not taking so many photos on the first three days and most time only having the little Lumix with us – using the 30D and 350D mostly inside – therefore not so much stuff to show, just documentary pieces

four great days in Vienna
Link: part two of the report
part one of my report on our trip to Vienna, 9th – 12th Feb.
So this is my story on last week, when I headed to Vienna with my very good friends Daniel and Bianca. We made these plans some month ago, so we were able to start right with the beginning of our holidays. We said that it will be a shopping trip most of the time, but with some cultural stuff between. I will do the whole thing in two parts as it got very long while writing and with the pictures it’s even longer.
Monday, 9th Feb.
Left Klagenfurt at 10AM and went directly to Vienna. We drove past Graz and Wiener Neustadt and finally arrived in Vienna around 2PM, mostly because of some traffic jam problems on the Viennese city freeway.
our driver, Daniel (taken by Bianca)
on our way to Vienna
After some driving through the city center we finally made it to our flat. Got it from a good friend of mine and his girl, who were in Klagenfurt that week – so we had a place to stay without huge costs, great! We first checked the rooms and brought our luggage in. Afterwards we parked our car nearby – but as we noticed in the evening, we had to change cause of short-time parking zones there (did this the next morning and parked the car next to Werner’s flat, where I knew it will be save).
some part of the living room
So after all this acclimation we bought tickets fort he public transport and went to the city center. On our way we came across Maria Theresia Street where a friend of Bianca has her flat with two other girls – so we rang the bell and said hello. They were quite surprised about our visit by accident. We then went for some shopping – wanted to cook some italian food and needed something for breakfast the next days. Went home, made a delicious pasta with meat, tomatoes, capsicum, spices etc. – relaxed a bit and then dressed up for the evening. Went to the musical „The Producers“ with a friend of Daniel and another guy. Musical was great, just funny and crazy – we all really enjoyed that evening at the Ronacher theater. We came home around midnight and called it a day.
Tuesday, 10th Feb.
Next morning as already mentioned, first of all >> re-parking action with Daniel. We got up very early and left Bianca at the flat. Thanks to our navigation system it only lasted one hour to get to the right street and near Werner’s place.
Went back to the flat by underground – have I already mentioned that I love the faces of tube passengers in early morning hours – Bianca was already up and we all had breakfast. When we left the house it was foggy and cold, as the day before when we had a strong wind outside. Again underground – went to the Lugner City Shopping Center to start our shopping tour. When we left the underground station it was raining. We suddenly felt like under the shower. Rest of the day was mostly walking around in the rain, visiting the poker shop to buy some stuff for myself and for friends, walking down Maria Hilfer Street and have a look into several shops. At the start of the walk we went to Foto Sobotka to meet Werner and also have a look at some stuff.
Werner with his stylish new glasses
me looking weird in the store (taken by Bianca)
I wanted to buy a Canon 35mm f2.0 lens, which he already knew. Tried the lens, talked a bit and asked if there’s something like a 30D or 40D in the „used stuff“ area, as I was looking for something like this (as you know I already own the 350D since 2005). Thanks to Lady Fortune .. some 10 minutes later I was the new owner of a Canon 30D J. My luck was that there was one piece in the shop window, priced really good and just looking like new, .. no scratches or anything, think the pre-owner used it as an exhibit or as backup body – so I couldn’t resist and it just took some moments to say „yes“ and get it. So in the end, I walked out the shop, some hundred bucks worse off .. but totally happy.
my new toys, nice combo
Only thing still getting on my nerves: the rain! The whole day .. rain, snow, storm … this was horrible. We got wet and it didn’t stop. Later on in early afternoon we were joined by my very good friend Thomas, who came from directly from university to have some lunch with us. We met on Maria Hilfer street and took the tube to Stephansplatz, went to some mexican restaurant, which was actually closed before 5PM – so we had to make new plans. As rain was nasty we just took the restaurant (Bettelstudent) on the opposite corner and enjoyed some dry moments in there.
at the restaurant, Bianca (already taken with 30D & 35mm f2.0)
Afterwards we said bye to Thomas and went home by tram. We then dried our cloths and relaxed for some time. During that moments at home we had a lot of fun and made a lot of pics, playing around with my 30D and 350D.
my couch, bed and storage for the whole four days
*smile*
*don’t destroy my hairdo*
both shots above taken by Bianca
really nice couple, aren’t they?
can’t remember when i took that one, hm
At 7PM we met with Kiri and Stefan at Lugner City and took some cocktails at a cocktail bar called Santos. One hour later we sat down in some luxury reclining chairs of the cinema located in the same place. We were joined by another friend of Daniel, but Kiri and Stefan already knew the movie so they didn’t come with us. We watched „The curious case of Benjamin Button“, which is a really great movie and I hope it will get the Oscar for best motion picture this year. Long movie of course .. lasting 3 hours in total, but it was worth sitting lying there. This time it was dry when we left the cinema – took the underground home and went to bed around midnight again.

here we go again
So this is sunday evening and I’m counting the hours until we leave the city and head straight to Vienna. To be exact, we will start around 9.30AM tomorrow and hopefully arrive in Vienna some 4 hours later (route planner says 3h 20min, so this should even be possible with a break). My bags are packed and ready and I can’t wait to see Vienna again – I just like that city.
We gonna stay until thursday afternoon or friday morning (friday is more likely) and most of our time we will go shopping, have fun with friends, go to cinema and some musical/comedy cabaret and go out on evenings. I will have a look for some new photo gear and stuff from the poker shop (also for some friends who asked for it) and some stuff like shirts, pants etc. .. so this will be fun I think. Daniel and Bianca are looking forward to it too .. so I may keep you informed on what goes on in Vienna – but it’s more likely I won’t have internet. (let’s have a look for an open wlan spot *g*) Anyways .. have two cams with me and should take some photos to report later, .. so stay tuned until next weekend when I will post some travel report here.
For now, .. have a nice week!
note: anyone interested in meeting just call me on my mobile or write an e-mail, I might check the account somewhere around

just a short one
Actually I’m not so motivated to write an entry, but I try to give you some impressions from my weekend and what comes next.
Last time I told you of some actions to come, .. so I had a nice evening with my buddies who came to town last week, enjoyed a good week at university and did some lessons with my students, to improve their skills in driving. In total the week was very standard. To be honest i focused on finishing that paper I handed in on thursday and start with the upcoming papers right after. Most of my courses are finished now .. semester is nearly over – just need to do some little exams this week and some remaining in the end of february and later on in march and finish all the three papers until the end of february (set that date by myself to get them ready before summer semester starts).
Some days ago I fixed some things for our Vienna trip .. so facing the last exams of the actual semester, I’m now getting into a little holiday and travel mood. Got the flat of some friends of mine .. so we have a free place to stay, sleep, refresh and store our stuff … that’s great and reduces costs for such a trip. Most of the time we will go shopping and relax when meeting friends and goin to some places (maybe also gonna do some little culture part, we will see). So far we decided to depart on tuesday, but we might already leave city on monday, … also depends on the weather and time – will be back on friday 13th, that’s for sure. By the way, weather is goin crazy … snow, snow and snow again. I don’t like it, .. looks like winter fools us until we love him .. but i prefer summer and that snow should melt quickly now. Yesterday I was invited for some evening with friends, playing card games and having fun. Stayed there for many hours and when I came outside, my car was white from all the snow falling in between – really too nice as I just went there in dry conditions haha.
I’m thinking about a photo review on the last 3 or 4 years, making my blog a photo blog again – at the moment it’s more like a report or journal, .. got inspired by Charlotte and her new blog location, where she started with a summary of her work on the old blog. Also reading a lot in other blogs, like Sev’s or Chris’s, these days .. ok I do that very often, not only now, but I really try to get some ideas to “pimp” my blog … just need to do more photography in future again … will start that plan in Vienna next week – so be prepared for a “travel report photo story”
