i'm glad you had a nice trip to vienna, hopefully you had enough time to see (at least some of) the major attractions.

Just kidding... he just owns a bunch of Hummers, and that's not a vehicle one sees often in Europe.

Only had enough time for a bite to eat unfortunately. My sister lives in Salzburg, and this time it was cheaper to fly into Vienna than Munich for some reason. I do need to go at some point to actually see the city rather than simply passing through...

i see, well next time you consider visiting vienna let me know, so i can give you some advice how to avoid being ripped off.

and btw salzburg is a very beautiful city, its charme is unique.

They seem to have achieved a nice balance with this design. Normally I despise modern European architecture, because it tends to be abstract to the point of fatuousness. But this has coherence to it.

hunser · #47 Posted **Apr 18, 2011, 8:34 AM**

^^ i agree! and that modern european architecture you are talking about- well i know what you mean because i have been to berlin many times before to know that this city is just full of abstract buildings. believe me, noone beats berlin (or generally speaking the germans) in this matter!

These towers look nice, congrats to Vienna for this great development.

The tower is making good progress, rising quickly.

hunser · #55 Posted **Jun 2, 2011, 3:04 PM**

^^ yeah, it's just incredible how fast this tower is moving.

Hey Why is the RCS panelling covered in English slogans?

comon guy, a True Wiener never goes under! (except for Andrew Wiener? lol!)

Let'em know how it's done!

haha, lol- you mean the "vienna's heighest" slogan?

well, i guess they want to promote the tower as international as possible. german is probably too "boring" or too "harsh" for them.

and are you referring to the canadian science fiction writer andrew wEIner? believe it or not, i heard of him (when i went to toronto to visit a girlfriend...)!
