today. It was used as an imperial hunting ground for the aristocracy. In 1766 the
Austrian Emperor Josef II donated the area to the Viennese as a public leisure area.
Several restaurants and cafés were established. It became the most
popular place to go for a dance with its huge ballrooms and music cafés. You
could hear the classic dance music from musicians like Johann Strauss or Josef
Lanner. Soon rides and attractions followed.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="background: black; border: 1pt none black; font-size: 0pt; line-height: 115%; padding: 0cm;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A long
tradition of petty crimes and prostitution exists in this beloved Viennese
amusement park. Even though both were banned from the Prater, especially those
juvenile delinquents keep popping up in the park. The latest crime on a larger
scale happened at the beginning of December 2015 when a group of ten robbed
around 19 visitors, the youngest only 10 and the oldest around 70.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Nowadays
the center of all crime in the Prater is actually the Praterstern, a train
station nearby, where especially at night shady things happen. People get drunk
and drugs get sold. People, especially women get assaulted and some even raped,
like the student who got raped in the station's restroom by three juvenile
refugees. Because of the ongoing crime at that train station the police want to
install more security cameras and the politicians are thinking about banning
alcohol from the hall of Praterstern station.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Ever since
the Prater was opened it has been infamous for crime, not only real crime
but also staged crime. Many movies were shot in the Prater like “The Third Man”
or even a James Bond with Timothy Dalton as well as many local productions like the crime series “Tatort” or the children detectives of “Tom Turbo”.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Since the
dancing establishments for Waltz and Polka disappeared, new clubs like the
Pratersauna, Fluc and Praterdome have appeared and they are now the epicenter
of clubbing and because to get to most of these clubs you need to pass through
Pratestern, you will most likely find someone there who sells drugs or has
already bought some on his way to the club.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One of the main differences between classic
Disneyland and the Prater is the fact that you wouldn’t go to Disneyland without
kids. All the cartoons, princesses, castles… It would be kind of strange for an
adult to go there alone, because Disneyland is meant to be a family place. Unlike
that, the Prater is full of people that go there alone, or with friends. You are more likely to see a group of friends
than families with children, because it is more fun for young people and it’s
also a better adventure for them. The access to the area is free and open 24
hours, so you can always see some drunk guys, or homeless people there. What
you won’t see are mascots, or parades, that would give you “that family-feeling“.
Many Viennese kids are actually skipping school there. You can typically find
them on the Tagada. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">With our blog crew we also visited this park,
which is located in the central cemetery in Vienna. This place should fill us
with energy and inner strength. At the beginning, we didn’t believe that it
works, but as soon as we got out of there, we felt relaxed and kind of
peaceful. We didn’t even notice how bad the weather was at that day. If you
want to escape from the sad atmosphere that cemetery radiates, you should
definitely visit this place. Down below you can see some pictures we made
there.</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span></div>

those of us for whom walking is a burden to the resting places of the dearly
departed.</div>

<span lang="CS">To add
education to gravitas you can visit the cemetary´s own funeral museum. Its
exhibits take you through centuries of buryial rites and instruments, like this
one here. What is it you ask? A heart-stabbing dagger of course! A reminder of
the mass hysteria of the 19th century when people feared nothing more than
being buried alive.</span></div>

California and it’s called Coachella and has been around since 1999. The main

good music produced by the best artists in the world, for example, Calvin
Harris, Coldplay, Jay-Z, ACDC and many others. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

15th – 17th and April 22nd – 24th at Empire Polo
Grounds in Indio, California. General admission tickets cost 840
dollars, a 3 day pass costs 1000 dollars and the VIP-3 day pass costs 2100
dollars. It’s true, they’re quite expensive but references from past years say
that it’s worth it<span style="background: white;">. </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Have you
ever heard the expression „Ziegelbehm“ before? No? Because it’s actually a big
part of the Austrian history.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In the late
19<sup>th</sup> century Vienna needed people to work on the Ringstraße boulevard and most of those people came from the Czech Republic. They were
quite important for the Austrian economy because they helped to build a big
part of the magnificent buildings you can now admire all over Vienna. But those
people had to live quite a rough life, which was mostly caused by the conditions they had to live under (there were often too many people living in houses not
even having toilets or anything close to a bathroom).</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">They were
discriminated by people and assimilated really quickly even though </span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">400 000
out of the 1,6 million Viennese inhabitants were Czechs.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">I was given the instruction
to go to one of the many Viennese pubs. But because this blog should connect
and find the connections between Vienna (or whole Austria) and Czech Republic
and Slovakia, it wasn’t just any ordinary pub. This pub is called Pivothek - </span><span style="line-height: 115%;">a combination of the words pivo (means beer in
Czech) and –thek which signals the collection of something. And they actually
have a collection of not well-known (at least not worldwide) Czech beers, for
example names like Svijany, Bernard, Lobkowitz, Primátor or Postřižinské pivo –
a product of the famous brewery, which was featured in the well-known Czech
movie Postřižiny. Many of these sounded familiar to me, even if I’m not a big
fan of beer. You can get most of them in supermarkets in the Czech Republic or
Slovakia, but if you’re not anywhere near, Pivothek is a good alternative. So when
you’re up for drinking a beer, don’t forget to stop at Landstraßer Gürtel
19 – just a few minutes from Vienna Main Station. And of course, leave a comment
- which one of their beers is your favorite?</span></span></div>

And where do you best experience that yuletide feeling? That question has everyone pointing to Christmas markets. And there are loads of them in Vienna. A veritable <a href="http://www.weihnachtsdorf.at/">industry </a>has sprung up around these folksy collections of rustic huts. But what is the attraction of these markets? CzechAut has sent out its staff to investigate!</div>

<span lang="EN-GB">Our first stop was the <span style="font-size: large;">Christmas

were selling hand made goods such as Christmas decorations and similar items. We even bumped into a booth selling traditional Czech cake-on-a-stick. </div>

One of the most traditional Christmas markets in terms of the souvenirs and things they are selling, is the <span style="font-size: large;">"Altwiener Christkindlmarkt"</span> which has been on the Freyung since 1989. But the Freyung was already a market place many years before that. <span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 16.8667px;">This Christmas market </span><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 16.8667px;">also</span><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 16.8667px;"> </span><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 16.8667px;">has a 46 meter long picture of Bethlehem with Jesus and Mary in the </span>middle<span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 16.8667px;">. </span>The sellers of this market run little shops and workshops with handmade products like kitchen utensils made out olive wood as well as signs and toys from an original wood carver.<br />
<div>
Within all those shops was also a little stage for charity projects used for Christmas plays and charities and for those who might get thirsty or even hungry there is a stall with an old Czech sweet called "Livance" which is known to be the grandmother of pancakes as well as having a place to buy many different sorts of punch, a mostly alcoholic Christmas drink. </div>
<div>
Our staff met a couple from Houston, Texas, and asked them about their thoughts, why people keep visiting the Austrian Christmas markets and whether they have something like this in Houston?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div>
<i>"<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">-...yeah, but it’s just a four days, it’s called Nutcracker market, but it’s nothing like this, it’s not outdoor."</span></i></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 16.8667px;">she told us due to her visit and her mothers visit a year ago. They also agreed that being on a Christmas market is a nice experience.<i>"</i></span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"><i>Well, I think it sort of depends, where are you from, I mean, Houston is really hot, REALLY HOT, so we don’t get to experience a weathe</i></span><i style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.8667px;">r like this, so it’s kinda nice to come here." </i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So now we know</span> why tourists´enjoy those markets but what about the natives? The answer is: punch (and mulled wine). For Viennese it´s that time of the year when you meet your friends and get loaded on sweet, hot alcohol and regret it the next day. </div>

Last week on 9 November 2015 our team wanted to see for themselves how it's like to be a volunteer at a refugee center. The Dusika Stadium used to be a sports center for cycling events but was closed to become a place where refugees can stay. If you are inspired by the following stories and want to go help out yourself, you can visit <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Refugeesdusikastadion">Dusika Stadiums Facebook Page</a>.<br />

refugee camp was definitely a great experience for me. Although I spent only two hours </span>there I met some very nice and friendly people there and I have also
had a lot of fun. I was trying to do my best even if my jobs were not so
exhausting. My first job was to sort clothes according to size and gender and later,
me and my classmates were helping to serve dinner for refugees. We could also
help by teaching refugees some german words and show them how to say the words
properly. At the end I felt very happy because of meeting those people.</div>

toothbrushes and toothpastes. Also they were bringing their dirty clothes to
put it into the washing machines. Many of them couldn’t speak English, maybe
just some words or phrases, so the communication between us consisted more of
the gestures than words. Overall the people were really nice and thankful for
every help.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

two camps: in the gym are families and in the main Stadium hall are men. We were
given orange signal vests and could begin to help. With my classmates we sorted
winter clothes into cardboard boxes in the family camp. Meanwhile some refugees
came to ask for clothes that they needed. Then I helped in the men camp to hand
out hygienic products. They have a possibility to wash their clothes too. People
there were nice and they thanked us for everything they got. Some of them could
speak very well English and some of them learnt German too. It feels good to

I was personally really excited to be there and help a little bit. My impressions were really good and we had the opportunity to get to know a lot of people from different countries. The fact that all of them were sleeping on the ground or in tents was really sad for me. First we were sorting out the clothes and then we were serving them dinner. Almost at the end we were helping one guy with German. I am really glad that we had the opportunity to be there because we could see how it really is and form our own opinion about it. It was really emotional for me but we also had a lot of fun.<br />
<br />
We had a really great time there.<br />

<b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Current situation of
refugees in Europe</b></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In the last months Europe has experienced an mass arrival of refugees from the Middle East. After seeing pictures of a child corpse
washed up on the beach after an unsuccessful attempt to get to Europe and also
after news about a truck with 71 dead bodies found by the side of an Austrian motorway,
the German chancellor Merkel stated, that Germany would accept as many refugees
as possible. This statement probably caused, that a large majority of the
refugees are trying to find their new home in Germany. There have been almost 700.000
refugees so far this year and the amount will be rising. Germany closed the
borders, but after a few days, the border closure was changed to temporary
border controls with so called ‘refugees trains’ coming to Munich from Vienna. 2000-8000
refugees are coming to Vienna every day. Most of them stay inside Vienna's Main
Station or West Station, where approx. 200 volunteers care for them. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Refugee routes to
Europe</b></span></span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Thousands of refugees are risking their lives
while coming to Europe even if the route is very dangerous. Refugees from Syria
need to go through several countries to reach their final destination. Most of
the time it is Germany, Switzerland and Sweden. They choose the safest way
which starts in Turkey and continues in Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary and Austria.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This statistic shows us, how many Refugees want
to come to the Slovakia, but also, how many of them will get or not get asylum
and also the rest of them, who are still waiting for an answer. Even though
many people say, that refugees don’t really want to come to Slovakia, they
actually do. This statistic shows us that about 12 000 refugees applied for
asylum, but only few of them really get it. The rest, about 10 000 have to wait
for a decision about their asylum requests, which will maybe never come. Is
this this one of the reasons, why they don’t want to live in Slovakia?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As you can see, the apportioning of refugees through
the countries doesn’t seem so fair. The states Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan have taken in about 2 million refugees and Czech Republic only about 700 but
we have to look at the economy, too. States like Turkey have a far better economy and when you look at the size of this state
and compare it with the size of the Czech Republic, its size is just like a tiny
little piece of Turkey. On the other hand, it’s true that the Czech Republic can take in more refugees than it has done. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

voting in Vienna</span></span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Because of the
upcoming elections for the state parliament and the city council of Vienna, and
also for the district council of each of Vienna’s 23 districts we collected
some information to guide you through the election process. As for those people
who don’t have an Austrian citizenship we found out what, where and under which
circumstances you are allowed vote in Vienna. <o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The parliament of Vienna passes the state laws, which
are also the laws for the city of Vienna and is being elected every five years.
You’re allowed to vote for the city and the state if you have an Austrian
Citizenship, are living in Vienna and have reached the age of 16. If you live
in Vienna but you just have an EU-citizenship you can only vote for district
councils. An exception is if you lost your right to vote as a part of the
punishment of having committed
a crime against the state.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">By the end of September you should have gotten
official information about the polling station nearest to your main residence
by mail. On election day you have the right to cast your vote in one of 1500
polling stations, which isn’t mandatory. It can happen that you will be out of
town at the time of the elections and you want to cast your vote, you can send
your vote by mail with the official votecard.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The district council
decides about stuff that has something to do with the environment of the city,
planning new buildings, streets and where the new pedestrians zone needs to be

We b*tch on and on about the pedestrianizing of a high street until some politicians actually decide to waste everyone's time and tax money and hold a referendum.

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 150%;"> </span><span lang="SK" style="line-height: 150%;">Due
to the fact, that the only cultural experience I had in the past couple of
weeks, was the <a href="http://www.letsceefilmfestival.com/home.html">LET'S CEE FESTIVAL</a> in Vienna, I decided to write about it.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="SK"><span style="font-family: inherit;">At the beginning of
the post I should explain, what this festival actually was. The Let's Cee
consists of 91 short films from the Central- and East Europe. These films are
shown in their original language with German or English subtitles. Regrettably
we haven't seen all of them, but the three that we have were really good
indeed.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="SK"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Why do I actually
write about it on the Czech-out blog? I am not sure, whether it was only on the
day, when we attended the cinema, but the lineup of the films has begun with a
conversation with three immigrants in Austria. At the moment, of their speech,
it was the first time I have thought about my position in this society. Altough
the life stories of these speakers were bit different that mine, I have found a
couple of connections between them. They were speaking about, how they came to
Vienna and what was the hardest time for them. The most notable idea that was
stacked my mind was: “If you want to be considered as equal by the society, you
have to be able to at least speak their language fluently.” If you think about
it and connect the idea with the daily life, you can see it's really true.
Probably some of you are immigrants and have fought against prejudice as well.
I am well alike one of them. However I personally disapprove of the idea of
this motto, it doesn´t make your feelings any better. I'm in the foreign
country the second year and I can personally say, what it is about. I should
also note that my language skills are not up to native speaker's proficiency,
however I try always to improve them all the time. On the other hand, I want to
say, that the people in Austria, Vienna especially are thoughtful and
considering. It's just better, when you don't have to consider yourself as
inferior.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="SK"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I am aware, I have
had to write about the festival in general, but at this point this idea became
the one for me that I will remember for the rest of my life. Mostly due to the
fact that it resembles my life as well as many of yours.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Even
though most of the time we try to focus on local topics, this time we reached
out for a global one, reason behind this being a) we find this one quite
interesting, b) there’s not that much happening around here anyways and some
more local focused post should be coming soon, covering happenings in
Austria/Czech/Slovakia, c) Press freedom! We can write about anything we want
to write about.<br />
Anyways, back to the post itself:<br />
<br />
Forbes takes list-making to a whole new level: the magazine is well known for
its annual lists, including ones like ‘The World’s Billionaires list’, ‘The
Richest People and America list’, ‚The World's Most Innovative Growth Companies
list’ and – the most recent and talked about – ‘World’s Most Powerful People
list’. <br />
(All this ‘list list list’-ing makes me think of obsessive–compulsive
personality disorder, and yes, I had to google it to get the name right.)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 150%;">Putin tops the list, winning for the second time
in a row. Forbes reasons for this choice are ‘a proxy war in the Ukraine’, ‘the
deal to build a more than $70 billion gas pipeline with China (the planet’s
largest construction project)’, ‘(giving asylum to) NSA whistleblower Edward
Snowden’ and the ‘chess match over Syria’.</span></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 150%;"></span></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
One of the aspects when ranking is the candidate’s use of power and it’s no
surprise that Putin scores the highest, while Obama comes in as second. Forbes
accuses him of being too cautious and calls him internationally the weakest
President of the post-WW2 years. (Is Putin really more powerful than Obama? <span style="line-height: 150%;"><a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/steveforbes/2013/10/30/is-putin-really-more-powerful-than-obama/"><span lang="EN-US">http://www.forbes.com/sites/steveforbes/2013/10/30/is-putin-really-more-powerful-than-obama/</span></a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 150%;">) This sounds ironically – I had the feeling
that people were complaining about the US being </span>way too
loud and a bitty bit too malignant. </span><br />
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">
Also, other reasons probably are Obama’s u-turning in Syria, US’s defeat in
Afghanistan and Iraq or the Republicans triumph in the elections. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">On the
other hand Putin is known for his more heavy-handed attitude, stability being
his leitmotif and having a way more dominant position in the Russian politics. He
obliviously knows what he wants and, looking at the case of Krym, how to get it.
“The bear is the master of the taiga. It is not going to move to another
climate,” he claimed at the Vaidai International Discussion Club. “It’s not
going to give up its taiga to anyone.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: inherit;">By the
way, Putin’s speech at Vaidai: it does have a strong post-Cold War vibe to it,
doesn’t it?` He’s openly (and not for the first time) criticizing the US’s
politics, accusing US of recreating a ‘quasi-bipolar world’ for the propaganda,
in which it doesn’t matter who gets the role of the ‘Evil Empire’. He’s talking
about the US selling guns and thus supporting the conflicts in mid-east and in
general of deforming the world order. He even mentions Cold War itself, saying
it ended, but not with peace. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US">But it’s
no surprise that Forbes’ list is criticized a lot – and not just this one, but
the most of them in general. The Guardian even calls it absurd (</span><a href="http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/oct/31/forbes-vladimir-putin-most-powerful-person-world-obama"><span lang="EN-US">http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/oct/31/forbes-vladimir-putin-most-powerful-person-world-obama</span></a><span lang="EN-US">).<br /><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">People mostly question Forbes’s ranking methods, or the result being way too
obvious, the real ‘most powerful person’ being somebody out of the spotlight,
who’s pulling by the strings. My personal favorite is probably comparing it to
‘deliberately controversial 'best albums of all time' lists’. We can talk about
it, discuss it, argue about it, hash or even fight over it, but we’re not going
to get our answer. </span></span></div>

Kofola in Vienna!<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Darling readers!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A while back we did a <a href="http://czechaut.blogspot.co.at/2013/10/mission-kofola.html"><span style="font-size: large;">desperate search</span></a> for our favourite cola drink - Kofola. Alas, it was nowhere to be found in the VIE. The last deli selling it had taken it out of stock months before, so it was back to bothering your friends and family in SK and CZ to bring our beloved elixir by the bottle.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But there has come the day when we can all rejoice and drink our caffeine soda while sitting down in a really nice place too. Vit Dvorak, dentist and chef, has opened his lovely coffee bar called<a href="https://www.facebook.com/garage01"> <span style="font-size: large;">GARAGE 01</span></a> in a former garage (what else?) underneath the light rail tracks on Radetzkyplatz in the heart of the 3rd district.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He and his staff serve up a fusion of Czech and South American food. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You heard right: Czechozuelan! </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And that is also the name of his signature drink: Kofola and rum!</span><br />

And even though we consider all of the statements to be equally correct, there was one statement that our readers clearly considered to be the most correct. More than 60% of our readers think that "It´s just a stinky, crowded spot ", while one quarter of our readers believe that "In fact, there are some interesting shops/restaurants".<br />
Only about 10% answered that it was "just a place to change trains or trams".<br />
<br />
Here´s a nice diagram:<br />

As you know
our blog is based on comparing living in Austria, Slovakia and Czech. The other
day we went to Bratislava to look for places that could be easily mistaken for
Viennese – and trust me, though the two cities have a completely different vibe
and atmosphere, we did find some that even a local could hardly tell apart from
the Viennese ones. </div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Schwedenplatz
is a place in the centre of Vienna, where you find a lot of clubs and bars. The
other name of the place is “Bermuda Triangle”. It’s right next to U4
Schwedenplatz – you can’t miss it! Every weekend it’s full of young people, so
if you’re in doubt and don’t know where to go, you can always try the Bermuda
Triangle. There’s loads of small and even smaller clubs, so here are some tips
where we recommend to go and what you can find there!</span></div>

It’s self service, so if you want to buy something you have to fight your way

spent there it starts to be really boring, same people, same music everywhere
you go, same strange men who try hook up with you, its really nothing I would
recommend. Sometimes but I wouldn’t overdo it. When I am there I feel like
everybody goes out just to find a partner or someone with who he can sleep
with…..</span><br />

<span lang="EN-GB">So this time we decided to write more about nightlife in Vienna. Vienna is not the metropolis for parties, but there are certain positive aspects of partying in Austria that you might enjoy.<br />For example, it´s likely that you are not going to be asked for your ID card!<br />If you follow these easy steps, you are going to be able to enter a Viennese clubbing for sure, even if you´re underage! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><span lang="EN-GB">Go with
a big crowd<o:p></o:p></span></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">This is
probably the most important point of all!<br />
When you go with a big crowd, the security guys will most likely only check the
first three or four people! <br />
After that they´ll realize that a crowd of 15 people means they´ll earn lots of
money :P.<br />
Also, ask some people where they go to school/university and try to keep in mind the easiest name for
if a security guy asks you (It doesn´t happen often, but it does occur every
now and then).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><span lang="EN-GB">Don´t be
nervous<o:p></o:p></span></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">I think I
don´t need to explain this one much. Just don´t look afraid or shy. There are
cases where it´s not enough to “go with
the crowd”. This point shouldn´t be a problem if you follow the two next points,
though!<u><o:p></o:p></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><span lang="EN-GB">Make up a
new identity<o:p></o:p></span></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">This you
will obviously need for if someone asks you how old you are. <br />
You might think this question is easily answered, but in a stress situation you
will freak out, really!<br />
Therefore you need to think about it before you go to the club and really
believe you are over eighteen. <br />
It´s going to be too late when a security guy asks you. You won´t have enough time to spontaneously
say what year you were born.<br />
Remember that you might come across more convincingly if you say you are 19.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><span lang="EN-GB">Dress up sexy and intimidatingly<o:p></o:p></span></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">If you are
a girl and afraid that you look too infantine, you´ll probably want to find
someone who´s skilled at applying make-up to make you look more adult. There
are also some cool web sites with tutorials about this.<br />
Next, find your favourite push-up bra and
get some sexy clothes.<br />
But please be careful not to look like a slut ;).<br />
If you are male, just try to look like a
swag dude and give your best!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><span lang="EN-GB">Only in
case you´ll need it…<o:p></o:p></span></u></div>
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">This is something I would only do in special
cases and only if you really want to go to that one clubbing so badly that you
are willing to take a risk.<br />
It´s not like I´ve ever done that, but it did work for many people I know ;p<br />
Scan your pass port and edit your birth date with Photoshop.<br />
When you enter the club and they ask you to prove you are 18, pretend you are a
tourist from Germany and say that therefore you´ve only got a copy of your pass
port. <br />
But as I said, don´t do this on a regular basis. Because if you do, you will
likely be down on your luck some day!</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05924195470133676214noreply@blogger.com0
