turks in turbs

Karlskirche


adding some flare to his life
well mostly just to his eyeware

Harry who?

So today we were late to fine arts. We missed the bus so we took a taxi to the uban station. 5 euro and a few American pick up lines and Frank Sinatra quotes later we got on the u and still we were10 mins late and the class had left without us. Getting directions from random people in German was fantastic because apparently the Wien museum is located in 5 different places. And everyone failed to mention that it was right next to a very beautiful, very noticeable from all directions, landmark karlskirche. So, an hour later we got to the museum. Which was grand, lots of fabulous paintings of Turks in turbans with long flowing mustaches, having a stereotype confirmed so factually with a dated painting was the perfect uplift.


Later in the day I found that disturbing Harry Potter book 7. Who is that on the cover, which one is Voldermort? I don’t know. Both characters are equally sinister. Apparently in book seven in Austria Voldermort and the creature of the black lagoon duke it out, harry potter is nonexistent.
