On Wednesday night (Nov 5) we finally ended up at the Mall; it’s small compared to the ones in Bucharest but at least you can have a bit of fun. Namely: bowling, pool, snooker…

Of course, there are stores and bunch of fast food places, which we carefully avoided (both the stores and the eateries).

It was fun but it wasn’t cheap. Still, if you need to relax, you can’t ask for more [ok, I can but let’s keep it for when we go back home!]

After slashing the other place , I’m going to be nicer. Yesterday I told hubby to take me to a laid back place where I could find something vegetarian. He did…”One Moment”. It’s one of those fast food places where you get to choose what you eat. There aren’t many choices for vegetarians (pizza and salads) but I found those to be enough. Plus they had both good bottled water and Coca Cola Light I admit it took TOO LONG until the pizza was done but it was ok and again, really vegetarian. Hubby did complain that his french fries were a little too hard (made from frozen fries, of course).

The place was very clean and the atmosphere ok. Prices also very good.

EH? Have you ever asked what that  His Aedibus Adhaeret Concors Populorum Amor  meant on top of Hofburg? Still curious? Here's the translation: In this building I reconciled the love of the nations (peoples) PS: it has taken me a while to find ... [Continue reading this entry]
