It's that time of the year again - the annual movie festival of Vienna is about to start. The Viennale. Last year i missed the day they started selling tickets. And they're usually sold out quite fast. So this year, me and some friends who also wanted to go went there on the first day.
Knowing that there'd be an ridiculously large crowd waiting in the morning and that buying through the web would be almost impossible on the first day, we met in front of one of the tickets shops in the afternoon last Saturday. And guess what, it was impossible to get tickets.
Felt like the organisers of Viennale thought that this year, for some unknown reason, there'd be much less people to buy tickets on the first day. All their servers broke down and they couldn't sell any tickets in hours. Well, anyways, i agreed with my friends to meet on Sunday morning, some time before the ticket store would open.
And so we did. Got there early, just to wait one and a half hours. And when we finally were first in line, just before getting to buy our tickets, they starting giving out numbers. Well, at least we got number one, pointless as it was, though :-) and then we got to the counter and bought 57 - in words: fifty-seven - tickets. I have never ever bought so many movie tickets at once. Hehe. And i can definitely recommend queueing up with friends. A social and quite fun experience.
Looking forward to a lot of great movies in the next two weeks, with a bunch of good friends.
Cheers!

Vienna - the BEST way
Hello there,
if you know me you know that this May i was showing my wonderful city to ten Serbian friends. As part of a so-called cultural exchange organised between my group and BEST Nis. One of them made a video of this week in Vienna. It was project for university, and a lot of fun. The video's actually quite nice, so i wanted to share it with you.
Here you go, enjoy:

Wrong bussi in A
Hello there,
i hope the title of this entry didn't confuse you. I am talking about cream filled gummies that look like this. While being on vacations - yes, visiting friends - in Germany in 2007, i discovered a new Haribo product called Jogi Bussi. Weird name, but being friends with all things Haribo i tried it. And really liked it.
Supposedly it was a new product, consisting of three different things. Deliciously put together, with the cream filling being the new idea. Well, actually it's a yoghurt filling, hence the name. I read later that it even won some candy-related prize. Apparently they have that in Germany =)
So far, so good. In the year after that, they tried to follow-up on their success with a new variation called Fruity Bussi. Basically the same, but instead of the yoghurt filling it had a kind-of jelly filling. I don't like that one at all. Really, not my thing. Yuck!
Now, until recently they were selling both kind of bussi only in Germany. But today i found out they have already brought one of the two to Austria: you guessed right, just my luck, now here we have Fruity Bussi on sale. But no Jogi Bussi! Who needs that sickly-sweet Fruity Bussi. I want Jogi Bussi!
Well, anyways, eating too much sweets only makes you obese, so thank you Haribo marketing experts, one less temptation for me in Austrian supermarkets. Nevermind the teasing.
And to you, my dear readers: if you think blogging about candy is lame, well, at least i'm not the one reading it ;-)
Cheers

ps: German "Bussi" translates to kiss. What were you thinking?
