Dump Prague!!! Hello Vienna!!!
Prague just had to screw me one more time before I leave. My train ticket listed the wrong train station to board for Vienna...so I was forced to take a taxi for $20!!!!
I arrived safe and well this afternoon in Vienna. The hostel here is by far the best (Wombats). It's clean...super clean. It is also a party house...I feel I am in college dorms again!!!
With the short amount of time, I visited the Stephansdom - a gothic cathedral with catacombs that house dead priests...as well as dead people died from the plague over 300 years ago.

But the highlight is really the evening. I was fortunate enough to obtain tickets to see an opera at Staatsoper. My dream to see an opera (or a classical concert) in Vienna has come true!!!

Wah, seeing opera in Vienna! Really looking forward to seeing your photos :) Take care!
I guess he won't take photo in the opera house.
As a matter of fact, I did that photos inside...from my box seat!! Will post one when I am back in USA!
WOW. opera in Vienna...
...is it really very musical? do you see people busking on streets??
p.s. how's the coffee in Vienna ^_^
There were some busking on the streets, they were okay, not spectacular. However, there were lots of Mozart dress-look-alikes trying to sell concert tickets (but nothing like the this concert hall).
The coffee in Vienna is actually quite good...which stands for STRONG!! I like it!
