A day in Salzburg

I spent yesterday in the beautiful and picturesque city of Salzburg. A city characterized by salt, classical music (read Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart), art, history, sweets and bakery (Mozart Kugeln) and the mighty Alps.

The city was charming and calm. People were friendly and the air was fresh. There were many tourists but not too many. All in all it was a good experience.

The dome was magnificent and as calm as only a dome can be. It was not commercialized and most importantly, there were real candles and not battery driven lights (as in Venice)!

We had lunch in a Chinese restaurant (I was looking for a decent restaurant serving Schnitzel but we eventually chose Chinese food over Burger King). It was the worst Chinese food I have ever had. It was expensive and it was disgusting. It sucked!

Anyway, after lunch we went towards the castle and the hill it is situated on. The view was great and the weather was as good as it possibly gets this time of the year.

Now here's one thing that disturbed me a little yesterday. Those of you who follow this blog regularly know that I believe that many Austrians still have a lot to learn when it comes to fashion and all the "dos and don'ts". At one point yesterday, my eyes ached.
This is a wonderful view:

And this is how you ruin a wonderful view:

 

What the fuck?!? They all wore horribly designed (and fitting!!!!!) jeans. The guy in the middle made me curse. How can you ruin such a great view with this shit? It's a sin!

After our long walk from the castle, over the museum of modern art (which probably is a big excuse for wasting time) down to the city center again, we passed by this weirdo:

He was playing music. Period. I'll let you judge for yourselves. To me it sounds like shit. I would gladly give him a couple of coins if he had played an instrument with verifiable tones and melodies, not one that sounds like a Boeing 737 jet engine. Whatever...
