Saturday January 12th
For breakfast today we put together a classic American
spread. Pancakes, eggs and bacon flowed through the kitchen. It was a good
time, and tasted like home. We woke up late and it tooke a while to make/clean
up breakfast so we headed to the city and stayed there the rest of the day.
First we went into an Asian market then headed to another really popular mall.
We shopped around a while, got some peanuts, and then went to get another,
better look of the Maria Thereisen Straße. Juliet took us to a free art museum
that turned out to be about narcicism. All manner of contemporary art and films
were playing so we spent some time browsing around. Being cheap exchange
students we went to McDonalds for dinner. We walked some more and saw a few
main landmarks. There was the Landestheater, which plays the biggest
performances in the city. The base of a gondola that was designed by a famous
architect whose name I forgot. As well as another large and grand government
building none of us knew the purpose of.
It was almost time for our movie, so we crossed the Inn river and
entered the theater. We saw The Hobbit in 3D, and it was taken in different
ways by my friends. Mark loved it, Keegan absolutely hated it, and I am kind of
on the fence. Although I was asleep for a part of the movie so I am not a good
person to ask. The quality and animation was incredible for sure. We returned
the disco we were at yesterday and took the night bus home later.
