Well the nice spring weather didn’t last long. This weekend we had some powerful winds. I am glad I didn’t have to sit in a plane
Mediamarkt uses the slogan “I’m not stupid” in it’s commercial in Austria (probably also in Germany). Trying to say something like “I’m not stupid to buy somewhere else, I go directly to mediamarkt”
Well reality is a bit different then commercials. Mediamarkt offers (as seen some minutes ago) the “DeLonghi EN180 Nespresso Le Cube” for 199 Euro. A short search (took me about 20 seconds) showed me the same espresso machine for 165 Euro. Yeah mediamarkt, you are right, I’m not stupid … that’s why I don’t buy from mediamarkt.

Yesterday we had “a bit” of a thunderstorm in Vienna. Winds up do 120km/h killed 2 people and ripped trees apart within some minutes. Luckily I came home just as the wind started it’s action.

I came to work today with the Metro and was quite surprised to see “Romania” on some windows. Seems that they have invested quite a lot in ads all around Western Europe. The photos you see on the ad quite want to make you go there
but there are 2 things I find real funny, first: there are no photos from the black see, this sure is a place in Romania that you do not really want to visit. Second: The tourism agency in Berlin is on the “Budapester” Street. If you know about a bit of Romanian-Hungarian history then you would understand why I think that this is kind of funny.
