Nice to have a hot chocolate in Winter.

Finally, Beethoven Platz







It was so cold tonight and GG kept shivering even inside the opera house.

We finally have some free time here including lunch.

We had bought 2 pairs of Ferragamo shoes, after tax rebate approximately 40% cheaper than in Singapore. Vienna is a better place to shop than the rest of the countries we went in East Europe. And H&M is a must to go:)
