day 74

the last post was a mistake apprently blogger installed a new button that translates every thing to hindi. why, i do not know.....

today i planned on going to the UN and eating the most famous schnitzel in vienna which i did. the tour was great there were only 2 of us and he was the talkative type so i got allot more out of it than if i had been alone. the tour guide said it was odd for the group to be so small. the only problem i had with the tour was the other guy kept going on about how crazy the security is and how he can#t see why an one would attack the UN and on and on. i knew the answer but i knew enough to not use the words attack and UN in the same sentence while in the UN compound. so i let it go. the UN onsists of 192 countries and in order to become a member a country has to be recogniyed by all the othere memebers so if egypt wanted to join and isrial said they didn't recogniye them then the would not be aloud to join. the UN building complex was actually build by the austrian goverment out of their own pockets and the UN pays an anual duty of 7 euro cents to the austrian goverment. however the building is not big enough for some confrences so they have to rent out a building next to the complex (the vienna international center) and then they pay the big bucks. while i was there i was not actually in vienna any more or even austria for that matter i was in somsort of UN nation kinda thing. as i understand it i could have killed a man there and it would fall under intenational law. they had an incident with a suicide a while back at the vienna international center but they were having a confrence there so it was technically UN territory so they had a big to do about it. saw a short propoganda film about standing up against poverty. so if any of you hate poverty stand up on october 17th and say you hate poverty.

then i went to the money exchange place and exchanged my money and then went to the worlds most famous wiener schnitzel resturant "figlmüller" and got a schnitzel and gape juice mixed with sprite. the grape juice i guess was made from white grapes, it tasted like watered down apple juice. the schnitzel was bigger than the plate it hung over by about 2 inches evey were. however it was about 3/8ths of an inch thick. its like they ran over a pig with a steam roller and then deep fried it. it was good. the total cost was 14.50 euro but i remembered that i needed to give a tip so i gave him a twenty and said 15. then i went home and dropped off my passport (which is the heaviest doccument i have ever had to carry, it makes me parranoid having it on me). and then i came here to the central office and picked up a piece of apple struesell at the local backery and ate it while typing this.

now i shoud mension that today was made possible by the money grama gave me over the summer. thank you gramma.

gonna post more blogs when i figure out how to makee my internet work in my room.
