ART FOR PEACE IN THE WORLD…read more Almost every day there is a guided tour through the Vienna International Center (UN Vienna) also including pieces of art from all over the World (11 a.m. and 2 p.m.) Two of the most impressive pieces I would like to present you today. Ho-o Raigi (The holy birds) by Sgenji Yoshida and a wall rug from the United Arab Emirates (no drugs, no crimes - simplified expressed). Behind the holy birds there is an old Japanese legend. The two phoenix will only come down to Earth when there is peace on Earth. The carpet is a modern piece of Emirati art combining traditional Arabic calligraphy and modern way of carpet making (traditional Emirati carpets have complete different "prints"). The outstanding quality of the carpet itself as well as the message behind the elaborateness of the calligraphy make it very special.

From all the parliaments I've ever seen, this one is definitely the coolest and most engaging. It's free to enter and there are so many opportunities to learn about not only Vienna but Central Europe in general. I'm really glad we stopped by and got to explore it!

This post office near Swedenplatz is one of the largest and cleanest I've been to yet in Vienna…read more The reason for the five stars is because it is open past "normal" opening times. This means that people with "normal" working hours are still able to deal with their postage needs. Nice that this post office operates this late bit really could there be one or more that do the same?

It's not a huge museum, but the Albertina packs a lot of world-class stuff. If you're into…read moreImpressionist art, you'll find a good amount here. The "Monet to Picasso" exhibit is well-curated and you'll definitely enjoy their collection. The special exhibit they had during my visit was a modern art one, which isn't much my interest but definitely a change from their regular exhibits. Additionally, the museum has staterooms from the old Habsburg days. If you only have time for one small museum in Vienna, this one would be a very good choice.

Cute museum in Vienna We enjoyed the art- it was enjoyable…read moreto see. Took a few pics- Enjoy!

The Austrian Federal Economic Chamber is one of the most important lobbying parties in Austria…read more When President Leitl took over, approx.. 10 years ago, and reformed the whole Chamber , lots of people were really angry at him. Most things were unnecessary and even harmed our economy. But since two years President Leitl always came up with something that was quite useful and he tried to help the Austrian economy. His latest idea hits the ceiling in a very positive sense!!! He suggested that polticians should get a basic salary, a surplus pay if successful and a deduction if unsuccessful. He even showed a way of measuring and reporting system. Well-thought-out!!! At least one person with own well-working ideas that doesn't betray or steel ideas to boast. This one is really new!!! That could be even applied to managers. Lots of them were highly overpaid and ruined our economy and killed lots of jobs, there was no responsibility for which they got those payments at all!!! Hats off!!!!
