First few days in Vienna

The very first day I stepped into my double hostel room, I was greeted with a RATHER BAD smell. There was this roommate from China, and he was yelling into his computer (skyping), and there was trash food (oily) stuck in the waste paper basket in the common area. My buddy, Markus Pichler, was trying to keep a straight face.

I was so horrified I thought of upgrading to a single room IMMEDIATELY.

I thought so hard about it, like would he feel hurt because I chose to leave, and the joys of having a nice clean room - where you don't have to use your slippers in the toilet and leave freakin black stains all over - but gradually, I grew to accept this room and my interesting roommate. Omgoodness, he even wakes me up every morning with a strange airy-fairy Chinese song that talks about home being clean, nice and whatever. And a weird Chiming sound that comes from a video he took because he misses home, so he plays it EVERY MORNING AND EVENING before sleeping.

But all in all, he's a REALLY nice person who studies music (how cool is that? can you imagine a PRC studying music, instead of boring old engineering??!!) He looks out quite a lot for me, and I'm going to miss his quirky ways when he leaves end this month for a cheaper dwelling.

Okay. I should be sleeping now, so I don't miss German class tomorrow. But what the heck, here's more photos...

My drab looking hostel. But I'm thankful for it- it's warm inside!

Me and Markus Pichler (buddy). He's really a nice, even-paced fellow. And the girls were gushing about him being handsome within 5 secs of meeting him.
Girls are the most superficial creatures on Earth.
University of Vienna. Not my university - mine's Vienna University of Economics and Business. Why can't my uni be as beautiful as this one. haha.

A protest on the streets! Right in town on the first evening I arrived. Cool!

An interesting, artsy toilet. Never to be found in Singapore.

Check out the Czech girl, bottom right. Eastern Europe - groovy eh?! She's 180cm tall.

Last but not least, German class. Just look at that really pretty Norweigan girl on the right, oh my goodness. I introduced her to the Argentinian dude on my left, and now he owes me a breakfast treat. haha.

Okay, that's all for now. Tata!
