    What fun! And slightly unnerving!

      Yes thank you! I chose it because it has a surreal touch. In any case, something unexpected.

    Davvero singolari questi due musicisti… certo hanno trovato u modo per attirare l’attenzione; quando la musica non basta, ci vuole uno shock visivo! 🙂

      Grazie molto! Sì lo penso anche io. Da musicista di strada non è facile attirare l’attenzione e avere qualche euro in tasca a fine giornata.

      Thanks! I don’t know who wrote this because I heard it many years ago: As an artist you can do anything, people will forgive you everything except one thing: being boring 🙂

    Anything equine is all the rage in Vienna! I celebrated the arrival of the New Year in 2016 with family in this beautiful city. I also got to fulfil my childhood dream of seeing the Spanish Riding School horses. Well worth it! And I love the coffee culture in Vienna!

      Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed Vienna! Yes, I don’t want to do without the coffee culture. And some other things as well…
