Naschmarkt.

The “Naschmarkt” in Vienna at night is might having some similarities to Asia.
Myanmar, Cambodia, India, Nepal or so.
Should visit this place more often in the evening.

Go East!

So far in mind – So close to Vienna: Capitals in Europe.

Ich reise gerne. Vorallem in ausgefallenere Destinationen – zumindestens für einige unter uns.
Ich freute mich sehr, dass ich den heurigen Jahreswechsel 2009/10 einige Tage in Bosnien und Herzegowina verbringen konnte und Sarajevo und Mostar sehen konnte. Für mich beides Traumdestinationen – aber mehr dazu in einem der kommenden Postings.
Wenn ich meinen Freunden über [...]

Euro 2008: Turkish emotions in Ottakring

There are about 40.000 turkish people living in Vienna (ORF, Statistik Austria). Ottakring and the area around Brunnenmarkt is one of the most interesting areas where turkish people are living.

Sharing India Experiences

The more I am talking with other guys about India, the more I get to know, which people have already been there. I like this, getting in contact and getting inputs – where to go, what do see and listening to their travel-experiences.
Anna-Maria (a working-colleague in Austria) was in India twice. She was there two times. First [...]
