The Aussie in Austria ! (Vienna yo !)

Hey hey hey all my travel loving interweb mates I hope your all doing fanbloodytastic!!

So yeah as I said in earlier blogs Sara and I went on a trip around Central Europe not long ago to Hungary/Slovakia/Austria. This is my post about Austria !

Austria is a pretty cool place with a shiteload of history. It seems almost everywhere you look theres some old palace thats 600 years old and just looks fucking EPDAWG ! If you are not familiar with the term EPDAWG then let me explain it to you. Its a word me and my best mate Rob made up. Its a combination of Epic and Dawg , if you didnt notice already haha. Some ppl think its stupid and immature ... I just think its bloody EPDAWG ! Anyways moving right along...

This first picture is of me inside the Museum Of Natural History in Vienna. As you can see its old as fuck and god damn thats awesome ! Coming from Australia most of us bloody love old buildings etc becauase we have fuck all back home since we were only colonised in 1780 and even then it took ages for proper buildings to be built so to have a building of any significance in Australia that is over 200 years old is quite rare. Anyways this Museum of Natural History was motherflipping EPDAWG ! It had the biggest collection of meteors in the world (over 30,000) and of course heaps of other cool shit like fossils etc. I even bought myself a fossil which is called an Amonite and its from Madagascar and is 65 million years old!!!. All in all a bloody good couple of hours spent wondering around here !


This next picture is of the Amonite fossil I bought at the museum... its 65 million years old and its from Madagascar! How freaken cool is that shit ! Also on a side note the lady I bought it from had chest hair. Not a small amount either there was like 50 of them and they were black....anyways I reckon this fossil is cool as fuck ! :)


This next picture is of Sara and her Vienna Schnitzel which was absolutely incredibly motherflipping huge !!! Unless you come from America of course where this would probably be your appetiser haha. I also had one and I managed to finish it all .... took me and hour and I felt super sick afterwards but I beat it !!! Fuck me it tastes as good as it looks too !!! :)

 
 

This next picture is of me and some of my mates I found in the museum haha. I am almost as hairy as them ! :P To all those people who beleive that god magically created the world from fucking nothing how do you explain the existance of these people ... our ancestors !!!


This last picture is just of some awesome graffiti/street art/ whatever the fuck the people call it these days. I love this shit ! There was heaps of it along the canals of the Danube river... and it was god damn awesome ! 567,000 times better than just a concrete wall !! :)


All in all Austria was a pretty damn awesome place , although not as cheap as Hungary or Slovakia it made up for that in friendliness and history and food and just generally being freaken awesome ! Would highly recommend spending a weekend here. Oh and we went to an opera also ... Im Cultural as fuck ! haha.

That is all , Peace out , Catch ;)

I HATE GOVERNMENTS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey hey hey all my government loving (hopefully not) mates. This post is going to be a huge rant so get ready !

Just now I read that the Australian government is going to spend $5.3 TRILLION dollars subsidising fossil fuel companies in Australia in a time when we are suppose to be moving AWAY from these old and outdated ways of procuring energy. The whole world has lost its fucking mind ! In a time when the Arctic is melting most probably due to the fact we have been abusing fossil fuels for so long in our ultimate wisdom we decide to drill for oil where the ice is melting !!!WHAT A FUCKING REDICULOUS AND SAD JOKE !!! The problem is its not a joke. It is REALITY. WHY WHY WHY !? I feel like such a dick to be living in these times when the whole world (a lot of it anyways) just doesnt give a single fuck about saving the environment but cares more about the destruction of it for a quick profit ... what the fuck are we going to do in 50 years when the whole world is fucked because of what we did NOW !? This next picture is a great example of why we need to get ride of fossil fuels , and NOW ! Its pretty much self explanitory !



I cant express how angry these things make me. Why is it this way ? Why cant more people see the light and see that we are killing the world . Not killing it slowly either , we are absolutely and positively raping it at an ever increasing rate! If you want to help in even a really small way can you please go and sign this petition which i will put in a link below ! Would be super awesome if you could ! The world these days is fucked but we cant just sit back and let it continue like this ... we need to stand up and say what we think. That we love our planet and we need to save it. Not kill it!!!

We went to HUNGRY HUNGRY HUNGARY!!! ( Budapest is sick yo!)

Hey hey hey all my well travelled international interweb people. How the fuck is your person !? Hope your all good in the motherflipping hood ! ;)

Not to long ago Sara and I went on a trip to Hungary/Slovakia/Austria . This post is just about Hungary. Hungary is a small land locked country in Central Europe . Population is approximately 10 million, of which about 1.8 million live in Budapest where we went. It was a prettty damn cool place to visit with 500 year old epdawg buildings every bloody where you look !!! :) Yes I did say I was Hungry in Hungary many times !!

This first picture is just of some random awesome buildings we saw when we were on the tourist bus. The one on the right looks fucking epic I reckon !! Probably about 400 years old or some shit !! Crazy ! :)



This nexy picture is of the Sczechnyi bathhouse in Central Budapest ... these baths are thermally heated and are just a bit over 110 years old. It was fucking epic to say the least. In that huge building on the other side of the photo they have about 10 more smaller baths also thermally heated . They even had a bloody steam room that steamed mint smell, I lasted about 5 Seconds in there ... never understood saunas . Who the fuck wants to be hot !? I spent the first 26 years of my life before I moved here trying to cool down living in Brisbane ! Anyways these baths are cool as fuck !! Water temperature in there was a nice 37 degress celcius ! :)


This next Picture is of Budapest castle at night. Sara and I went on a romantic dinner cruise which I surprised Sara with ( im fucking cassanova yo!). Either way we went past the castle and I took a picture and this is it. Simple ;) Sweet castle though ay !



This next photo is of Sara and me in some small room in some huge club in Budapest . This club had 25 rooms and 7 bars ... and not many ppl because it was a Monday night haha. Ahwell we still had fun !



This next picture is of me having a go at archery when we went up to the castle. I will admit Sara beat me at it. Not next time though !


This last photo is a picture of the Parliament building (3rd biggest in the world) from the viewpoint of the castle overlooking the mighty Danube river, which is 2860 kilometres long and is Europes second longest river. See you can read my blog and learn shit aswell as look at and read a lot of other stupid shit! Winning !


All in all Budapest was a sweet place to travel. In general people were welcoming and friendly and spoke pretty good English thank god! Fuck me its cheap as fuck ! I went to the alcohol store and bought 2 bottles of wine and 4 big beers for $10 AUD ! (55 NOK) I would defeintely recommend visiting. But make sure to book a place in the centre of the city so you dont have to take taxis to much cause the taxis are cunts and they rip you off at any chance ... just like everywhere I suppose haha.

That is all , Peace out , Catch ;)
