Museums and museums and museums. Classical art, baroque art, paintings of naked women, egyptian mummies, greek statues, mummified baby crocs, ancient stones, medieval armours, swords, cow bones. Basically it was sleep inducing so I hurried across the displays, sat in a small corner and continue with my sudoku. Headache after that =p.

Visited the flea market in the afternoon. I realised the poor are really poor in Vienna. The stuff that are sold were practically scavenged from elsewhere. Shoes with only one side, old clothes, remote controls, ps controllers, radios, jewellery. There's nothing rotten u can't find. The cost of living is so high in Vienna. Taxes sum up to 45% of the salary. Take a normal good in Singapore and multiply the cost by 2. Thats the average in Vienna! Healthcare and education are free though.

Went to watch a concert by the Mozart Symphony Orchestra. In order not to sleep, I focused my eyes on observing the people around me. Judging from their expressions, I think many people don't really understand what was being played at all. I guess I wasn't the only one. Its really difficult to appreciate this kind of opera and music.

For dinner, we finally resorted to a Chinese restaurant in the middle of the street. Grr.
