Austria Part II / Österreich Teil Zwei
Back to the topic of my eastern europe trip...

| From Austria |
Innsbruck also has hosted Olympics Winter Sports in some particular year which I forgot, but whats left is the Bergisel Tower, the start point of Skiing. However as it wasn't winter season and the entrance fee to go up there is too expensive, we just took a few shots before making our way down the monstrous hill again....
The famous 5 circles. Oh man... I totally missed out Olympics 2008!!

In the heart of Innsbruck city, where you FINALLY can find people, there is the golden roof! Yes real gold! Ordered to build by some prince in the past.
Found this pretty building which apparently isn't as famous as Golden Roof. But I gonna model my future house according to this.
Walking further down the street brought us to a ongoing carnival at then. There was live music and many food stalls like hot dogs, seafood and crepes!
We had our dinner there. I ordered a hot dog bun; the hot dog is thrice the length of the bun! And above is the prettiest girl i met during the whole of my eastern europe, she is the waitress at the carnival. Love her smile lots <3
For 3 days we stayed in a youth hostel and the best thing is.... we got FREE BUFFET-STYLE breadfast! Thats Semmel (bread), typical Austrian bread, with ham and cheese. I usually would stuff myself with 1 and a half of that, hoho~~
And here is the illustration of typical kiasu Singaporean behavior; Stuffing hundreds ham n cheese in a Semmel! See how he is grinning anyway hur~
The bird eye view of Innsbruck, as I mentioned, surrounded by mountains.

Are we really on the mountains? Hmmm~
Innsbruck also holds a world record. It has the highest Zoo in the world! Its called the Alpen Zoo and yea you really have to climb many slopes in the Zoo :S But I think the mountain goats are happy over there!
See, its grinning!
Bla bla white sheep! I want the fur! Oops! Nah, its prettier on the sheep itself.
Pig-Cow hybrid, or?
There is also cable car to bring you to 3000 thousand meters high up if you are not tired out from the zoo trip. But nah, I decided to stay to have some local soup while the rest ventured. I ordered Tirolien Dumpling Soup.... and I got the same lump of bread + meat thingy as my first dinner in Innsbruck, really didn't wanted that :S
