The Traveling Jobless

It is always nice to travel and to see places especially in Europe when financial aspect is only present all the time. Sad to say, I am jobless and I cannot travel anytime I want. I sometimes called myself, the "travelling jobless" because despite being unemployed I can still do a lot of travels and trips in a year. A lot of friends have been asking how do I do it.

Before I answer this question, I need to fill-up first the sears application form to apply for a job. Sad to say, hubby won't allow me now to work outside of Germany. It simply means that I need to find job in this country to finance my travel. And the secret of being a "jobless traveller", I will let you know once I have the time to share it here.

For now, let me just share this image taken in Vienna, Austria during my last visit in August 2011. This is the St. Stephan's Cathedral in Vienna.

St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna, Austria

It is more than three years now since I had a trip in Vienna, Austria with a friend. It was actually an adventure which is full of excitement. One of the sights we visited in Vienna is the St. Stephen Cathedral. It is one of the city's most recognizable symbols and is really worth to visit.

taken last June 2007 during our trip in Vienna, Austria.

The church was dedicated to St. Stephen, who was also the patron of the bishop's cathedral in Passau, and so was oriented toward the sunrise on his feast day of 26 December, as the position stood in the year that construction began. Built of limestone, the cathedral is 107 meters (350 ft) long, 40 meters (131 ft) wide, and 136 meters (445 ft) tall at its highest point. Over the centuries, soot and other forms of air pollution accumulating on the church have given it a black color, but recent restoration projects have again returned the building to its original white. wikipedia.

Somewhere in Vienna, Austria

I totally forget now where this picture was taken in Vienna, Austria. Did you see me in the picture? I only remembered that we were going to the Volksgarten in Vienna and happened to pass in this building. Me and my friend had an adventure in this capital city of Austria last June 2007. It was truly a great experience. I guess that is all for now. I can't stay too long tonight because we will be waking up early tomorrow to attend the burial of hubby's relative. I also need to browse online about clinicallix. I wish you all a great evening especially to all my friends in Europe. Feel free to browse my categories for more images from our adventure in Vienna, Austria. More updates tomorrow when we come back from the burial.

I Love Vienna, Austria

I am just remembering my adventure in Wien (in German) or Vienna, Austria last June 2007 with a friend. I have been to some places in Europe. Each and every places, cities or countries is unique and has its own beauty. if you have to ask me about Vienna, for me it is really a magnificent place with a lot to offer to its visitor. I am not so sure if Rome or Paris is more beautiful than Vienna. I have not been yet in these cities. I will be visiting these cities one of these days. By the end of the month, we are finally going to Paris. Thanks to a dear friend Liway who booked our trip. I just had a one day adventure with a friend here in Vienna and I believed a day to explore this capital city of Austria is not enough. I am hoping to visit it again next time. Here is a little info about the photo above taken in Hofburg in Vienna, Austria

The Hofburg is the location of the Schatzkammer (treasury), holding the imperial jewels of the Habsburg dynasty. The Sisi Museum (a museum devoted to Empress Elisabeth Amalie Eugenie of Austria) allows visitors to view the Imperial apartments as well as the silver cabinet. Directly opposite the Hofburg are the Kunsthistorisches Museum and the Naturhistorisches Museum, which houses many paintings by old masters, ancient and classical artifacts.

Hofburg Imperial Palace

Hofburg Imperial Palace is a palace in Vienna, Austria, which has housed some of the most powerful people in Austrian history, including the Habsburg dynasty, rulers of the Austro-Hungarian empire. It currently serves as the official residence of the President of Austria. It was the Habsburg's principal winter residence, while Schönbrunn Palace was their preferred summer residence. The Palace was the birthplace of Marie Antoinette in 1755.

My Euro Travel in Vienna, Austria

Now I forgot where this photo was taken in Vienna, Austria. Vienna is one of the most interesting cities I visited in Europe. I wish to go back there one day. I guess this was taken in Sissi Museum in Vienna..sorry just forgot it.

My Euro Travel in Vienna, Austria

It seems that I was absent in this blog for a couple of days. Now I am finally back! It also seems that we cannot upload pictures in blogger now. I borrowed a picture from my friendster account. This is quite large but maybe sometimes is also fine. So where is place? This was taken in front of St. Stephan Cathedral in Vienna, Austria. I was amazed as I saw the beauty of Vienna. The first time I was there, I immediately told myself that I will be backed in this city next time.

I guess most of you know that Vienna is the capital of Austria. It is also the largest city of Austria and the centre of political , economic and cultural activities. That's all I can say for Vienna now. You can also find below some information about St. Stephan Cathedral.

that's me in front of St. Stephan Cathedral during my visit in Vienna, Austria in June 2007

St. Stephen's Cathedral (German: Stephansdom) is the mother church of the Archdiocese of Vienna and the seat of the Archbishop of Vienna, Christoph Cardinal Schönborn, OP. Its current Romanesque and Gothic form seen today, situated at the heart of Vienna, Austria in the Stephansplatz, was largely initiated by Rudolf IV and stands on the ruins of two earlier churches, the first being a parish church consecrated in 1147. As the most important religious building in Austria's capital, the cathedral has born witness to many important events in that nation's history and has become one of the city's most recognizable symbols.

My Europe Travel in Vienna, Austria

I'm striking again! Life is always busy. And now, I finally have the chance to share about my Europe travel in Vienna, Austria. It is almost two years ago since I visited Austria's capital city, Vienna. I was also fascinated by this city just like other great cities I had been in Europe like Munich, London, Prague, Salzburg and the greatest so far for me by now is Paris in France. I know there are still a lot of cities here in Europe that I am planning to visit when all the resources are available. I am just fascinated everytime I see interesting cities. Vienna is also beautiful. I also love it there. I am still hoping to visit this city in the future. Below is a little info about Vienna's architecture.

that's me striking a pose at the Residenz in Vienna, Austria

ARCHITECTURE IN VIENNA

A variety of architectural styles can be found in Vienna, such as the Romanesque Ruprechtskirche and the Baroque Karlskirche. Styles range from classicist buildings to modern architecture. Art Nouveau left many architectural traces in Vienna. The Secession, Karlsplatz Stadtbahn Station, and the Kirche am Steinhof by Otto Wagner rank among the best known examples of Art Nouveau in the world.

The Hundertwasserhaus by Friedensreich Hundertwasser, designed to counter the clinical look of modern architecture, is one of Vienna's most popular tourist attractions. Another example of unique architecture is the Wotrubakirche by sculptor Fritz Wotruba. In the 1990s, a number of quarters were adapted and extensive building projects were implemented in the areas around Donaustadt (north of the Danube) and Wienerberg (in southern Vienna). The 202 m-high Millennium Tower located at Handelskai is the highest building in Vienna. In recent years, Vienna has seen numerous architecture projects completed which combine modern architectural elements with old buildings, such as the remodelling and revitalisation of the old Gasometer in 2001.

Most buildings in Vienna are relatively low; in early 2006 there were around 100 buildings higher than 40 m. The number of high-rise buildings is kept low by building legislation aimed at preserving green areas and districts designated as world cultural heritage. Strong rules apply to the planning, authorisation and construction of high-rise buildings. Consequently, much of the inner city is a high-rise free zone.

A Visit to the Parliament Building in Vienna, Austria

I had an adventure in Vienna, Austria with a friend last June 2007. During that adventure we passed and went to the different cities in Austria like Salzburg, Linz, Welsh, Vienna and a lot more. It was an amazing trip that I cannot forget it. I had here a photo taken in front of the Parliament Building in Vienna, Austria..lovely building especially those dancing colored lights during the night! I love Vienna!
The Austrian Parliament Building, (German: Parlament or Hohes Haus, formerly the Reichsratsgebäude), is where the two Houses of the Parliament of Austria conduct their sittings. The building lies at the Ringstraße in the first district Innere Stadt in Vienna, close by the Hofburg Imperial Palace and the Palace of Justice.

The main construction lasted from 1874 to 1883. The architect responsible for the building was Baron Theophil von Hansen, the building is an example of Greek revival. The architect von Hansen designed the building as an ensemble, where each piece harmonised with the rest. He was therefore also responsible for the interior decoration such as statues, paintings, furniture, chandeliers, and other elements. One of the building's most famous features is the statue of Athena and the fountain, a notable Viennese tourist attraction. Despite heavy damages and destruction during World War II, most of the interior has been restored to its original appearance.

The parliament building covers over 13,500 square meters, making it one of the largest structures on the Ringstraße. It was constructed to house the two chambers of the Reichsrat, the legislature of the Austrian part (Cisleithania) of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Today, the parliament building is seat of the National Council (Nationalrat) and the Federal Council (Bundesrat). It contains over 100 rooms, the most important of which are the Chambers of the National Council, the Federal Council and the former imperial House of Representatives (Abgeordnetenhaus). The building also includes committee rooms, libraries, lobbies, dining-rooms, bars and gymnasiums. It is the site of important state ceremonies, most notably the swearing-in ceremony of the President of Austria and the state speech on National Day on each October 26. The building is very closely associated with the two Houses, as shown by the use of "Hohes Haus" as a metonym for "Parliament". Parliamentary offices overspill into nearby buildings such as the Palais Epstein. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austrian_Parliament_Building
