Sightseeing in Vienna, Austria


This morning, we took the Vienna U-Bahn (underground railway) to the Schönbrunn Palace. The queue this morning was not as bad unlike seven years ago when I was here with my mom.

The park at Schönbrunn

The Gloriette with viewing terrace

The Neptune Fountain

The interior of St. Stephen's Cathedral
(I had to take a photo because this is the name of my high school)

Another view of the interior


A Schnitzel is a traditional Austrian dish made with boneless meat thinned with a mallet and coated in breadcrumbs and fried (Wikipedia). We had Schnitzel for lunch in a restaurant in Kärntner Straße, the most famous shopping area in Vienna.

      Don't be. Locally, we call it pork chop. It just sounds better in german.

    Hi FP!

    I don't know if it's my Mac but I was checking your Bangkok Blog, I can't access...

    My family and I are going to Bangkok for the first time and I saw in one of the comments, one of your friends gave a comprehensive list of where to go in Bangkok...

    Or maybe you have some tips as well...

    Will really appreciate to hear from you and/or your FP friends

    THanks so much!
