House building Level V

Yes, it's got windows! Doesn't it already look like a real house, at least from the exterior? Inside things look a bit different, as there are cables and cables and even more cables. But one can already imagine what it will be like when it's finished.

Anyway, I'm glad that I'm not the one who's building a house. There are always a lot of unforeseen things that can drive you made. But, that's what my brother's got to deal with ;)

Yet, I'm pretty sure that they will move in within the next couple of months. I'll let myself surprise.

Bahnorama - New Central Station

This is the "Bahnorama"-Tower. From up there you get a view onto a huge construction site, where the new central railway station is being built. It will not only be a new station, but also a complete new quarter of Vienna with apartements, offices, a park and a lot more.
Why am I showing this to you? - Because it will be my next feature in my German Course. So, if you wanna see a bit more of it, you'll have to wait for the video, which I'll upload within the next week - hopefully.

Vienna Opera Museum

Me in the Vienna Opera Museum. It's been really interesting watching all those pictures and reading the bylines. The entrance fee is only 3 Euros and those of you who are real opera fans will surley like it. It's very clearly arranged with lots of portraits and information. What a shame that I didn't go there earlier. You know, I live here in Vienna since the day I was born. But, maybe it's just the way it is. You never pay attention to the attractions and the beauties of your hometown.
I'm still working on my Lesson No 8, which will be about the Opera. It's not as easy as I thought it would be, but I promise I keep on working so that you'll soon get a nice video on the Vienna Opera.

Giving up our videostudio

Here is a photo of the demontation of our video studio. It's not really been easy to unplug all those cables and get rid of the old equipment. Technical things are really getting too old too fast. So, one should only buy all this stuff when excessively using it. Otherwise it's nothing but an unnecessary expenditure. Anyway, we did use it for several years and so it's time to make a new start. Nevertheless, it's a dirty job!

Seefestspiele Mörbisch - Zarewitsch

Yesterday I've been at the famous Seefestspiele Mörbisch, though I must confess, it wasn't really planned that way. My sister-in-law, opera singer Alexandra Reinprecht, my brother and the rest of my family were just in the middle of the celebration of the 90th birthday of our beloved granny in a relaxed atmosphere, accompanied by some glasses of wine. Suddenly Alexandra got an emergency call from the director in Mörbisch. He begged her to substitute her collegue, who fell ill. So far so good, only problem was, that this "nice" collegue had cancelled her appearance only two hours before the concert. So my brother, Alexandra and me raced to Mörbisch to save the production. Well, I didn't safe anything, of course - Alexandra safed the show, but I was really glad to watch this unique outdoor spectacle. Despite the few glasses of wine, Alexandra sang exceptionally well and performed as gorgeous as usually. I guess, I'll always keep this evening in mind - it will be a long lasting memory.

Lesson 7 / Lección 7 / Leçon 7 / Урок 7

Yep, finally made it. Lesson No 7 for all those who wanna learn German. Never thought I'd have so much fun doing it. Hope, I won't lose my energy and my ideas, but I've already planned the next three or four parts. So, here are the links to youtube:
