Kalenberg – Get off at Helligenstatt U4 and transfer to bus 38A. Get off at “Kalenberg” stn. Cobenzl is also a good stop to look around the vineyard and still enjoy the view of Donau river. You will see Hundertwasser’s incinerator near WU too. There is a university at this top of the hill called MODUL vienna for tourism studies. My Austrian friend’s brother goes here. He told me interesting story; the reason they built school up there was to present itself as eco/environmental-friendly figure, but ironically most students drive their car to get to school…

Art History Museum – the one I have been saved to go with Violet, but i sensed that she won’t be coming due to her busy schedule in Rome and Paris. I loved Vermeer’s “The Artist’s Studio.” Partly because a man was drawing it beside the real painting.

Viennese Boy’s Choir – On every Sunday at Hofburg chapel from 9:15 am, you can hear them singing! Its better to go there at 8:30 to line up for free standing tickets. These boys are so lovely. I went on 27th Dec, which was last week of the year. Usually I heard they only sing a couple of songs after the mass in front of all the tourists who came to see them, but this time they sang over 4-5 songs including Christmas carols such as ‘Silent Night’.

Annie Leibowitz’s exhibition at Kunsthaus Wien. She’s renowned photographer who shoot various covers for Vanity Fair and Vogue. Even if you don’t know her name, you might have seen her pictures – pregnant Demi Moore, John Lennon and Yoko Ono(remember? I mentioned this in “Museum Night” post)… Again this museum is designed by Hundertwasser. There’s a restaurant, gift shop and museum – two floors dedicated to the designer’s life and works while the other two are for Leibowitz’s exhibition until Feb 2010.
