The A's stand for Aussies and Austrians. Everyone here is awesome!Last night we went out to a bar called "torino" in venice and we stayed out pretty late. we had some wonderful wine and met some wonderful people. We met three Australian girls, one of them, named loren, who told us all about australia. she is a teacher and to get to work she has to travel 4 times a year by two planes. very crazy. she teaches in a small aboriginal community. it was fun getting to know them and we all exchanged information. The next day we woke up and left early for vienna. we arrived after a 10 hour train ride but we had the whole cabin to ourselves. we met a young man on the train who asked us where we are traveling and we said we were from america. he told us how lucky we were and how he wants to come live there one day. he said "here is the rest of the world and america is a world of its own". kind of puts in perspective how lucky we really are. anyway, vienna is HUGE! anyway we unpacked in our closet sized room and head out for some sight seeing. we saw the am hoff where mozart first performed and then the freyung fountain/square where the people were liberated during the 18th century (i am not 100% clear on this). Anyway it was awesome . this random man told us that we should go follow this road down to the lights and so we did. it was amazing (u have to see the pictures to believe me). but it was absolutely spectacular. there were lights decorating the entire walkway and we went to a nice cafe to enjoy dessert and warm drinks. it was nice .we met an austrian man there who was testing out his english on us and he was pretty funny especially since he told us he likes bollywood films. tomorrow we are off to see the vienna history museum, the hapsburg palace, and the stefansdom square/cathedral. more later!
Here is a letter my uncle wrote to the PM. I hope you all can understand the terror and grief people are experiencing as a result of these attacks... LETTER TO PRIME MINISTER Dear Mr. Prime minister I am a typical mouse from Mumbai. In the local train compartment which has capacity of 100 persons, I travel with 500 more mouse. Mouse at least squeak but we don't even do that. Today I heard your speech. In which you said 'NO BODY WOULD BE SPARED'. I would like to remind you that fourteen years has passed since serial bomb blast in Mumbai took place. Dawood was the main conspirator. Till today he is not caught. All our bolywood actors, our builders, our Gutka king meets him but your Government can not catch him. Reason is simple; all your ministers are hand in glove with him. If any attempt is made to catch him everybody will be exposed. Your statement 'NOBODY WOULD BE SPARED' is nothing but a cruel joke on this unfortunate people of India. Enough is enough. As such af...
