Sehr Schoen Wellenlaenge....erinnert an die alten Zeiten.... ;)

Thanks, the high living standard kinda makes one lazy to travel though  ;D
It's also funny how tourists always know more about your place than yourself.

Some statues at one of the entrances, somewhat bodybuilding related  ;D :

i presume those statues depict hercules during his 12 tasks. Last one looks like him wrestling with Cerebus.

Thanks for sharing. I plan to visit Vienna someday

I honestly don't know, but as I said, tourists often now more about your place than yourself.  ;D

Diese Bilder bieten ueberaus beeindruckende Schoenheit. Nach Korea werde ich nie wieder soetwas als selbstverstaendlich annehmen, Sachen wie den blauen Himmel, die ehrfurchtvolle Architektur, die Geschichtlichkeit, die reine, unvergleichbare Schoenheit; es ist wahr: man wird erst dessen bewusst, was man mal hatte, nachdem man es verloren hat; Korea hat mir diese harte Lektion erteilt. Wenn ich wieder ich Bonn bin, besuche ich das Geburtshaus von Beethoven und mache einen Ausflug nach Koeln, um mir die Wunder der Stadt anzusehen...vor allem den Koelnerdom...

Europa sei gesegnet! Sollte ich das Lottospiel gewinnen, bin ich mir sicher, dass ich mir eine schoene Wohnung in Wien erstehe; Budapest, Berlin, Rekjavik, Kopenhagen, New York auch...vielleicht Paris...weiss net... ;D

Very nicely put!
Koeln has a nice inner city and the Koelnerdom is really beautiful, especially when you're on top. If you were a beer drinker I would say don't drink too much Koelsch  ;D

Auch der ist sehr beeindruckend; wenn mir eine Arbeitsstelle in Wien angeboten werden wuerde, wuerde ich das Angebot nicht ablehnen.

Tempting, yet not very promising, I'm afraid. The ego will do anything to maintain its position.
Ridicule and dodging logic being just two feats in its repertoire; quod erat demonstrandum.  ;D

I would rather let you teach me a few languages, an endeavor of much greater prospect.  :)

Could you ask my cousin in the topic photo if he is still OK coming for poker night on Thursday instead of Wednesday?

Longitudo Undae, nunquam quidquid demonstravisti. Te cum logica argumenta demonstrare dicis, sed non solus sum qui logicam tuam non intellexit. Puto ut argumenta tua magis 'De Gustibus Non Disputandum Est' sint quam 'Quod Erat demonstrandum'. Cur credes ut conscientia humana satis ratio pro differentia inter animalia et homines sit? Hanc logicam non possunt omnes intelligere; Cur?

I learned English, yes? So there goes that theory.  ;D
PS.: I never learned Latin, just know a few catch phrases. But I should have known that you're perfect in that one too. :)
