The city of balance

Although my visit to Vienna was rather a matter of running away, I enjoyed my time there. I had not been there before, not even in Austria.
My friend Morgan guided me through my first ride around the city, using the bus lines that surround the city center forming a ring.
It was so nice to see her again...she is just amazing, she just keep on smilling while telling me about Vienna and how everything in the city just has to be in "balance".
Examples of this balance thing come from Vienna's great past. The most impressive example are the museums of art (Kunsthistorischesmuseum) and natural history (Naturhistorischesmuseum). I stepped in the middle of the Maria Theresienplatz and tried to find the differences between both buildinng located one in front of each other. In reallity each museum is like a mirror of the other, except for some scultures on the top of the buildings, which although look similar, are actually different!!!. I spent some time figuring that out!.
