2017 Beach Volleyball World Championships will be in Vienna: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ezr8YKPwTl8

Because we're so well known for our beaches. :lol:

This is like that awful mess known as Paris plages (beaches), courtesy of the Parisian taxpayer.  :bleeding: Maybe beach volley for the next Olympics in Paris.

Herrmann's Standbar has been around for ages. In recent summers, a multitude of summer bars and entertainments have sprung up along the Danube Canal that separates 1st and 2nd districts. They're really popular for after work drinks/food. Tel Aviv Beach is especially popular, run by the Molcho family which does modern Israeli cuisine: http://neni.at/en/

So our crown prince fractured his spine in a trampoline accident. He's 48. Time to stop running iron man and other useless stuff in order to look cool and start practicing saying just two coherent lines without going off on a tangent.

It's 8:30 am and someone is practicing on the transverse flute.   :glare:

It's nice to come home to your nice, quiet home and find a note on your staircase that this Sunday, 11 am, one of the neighbors is inviting everyone to a matinee concert with 3 classical guitars in our little inner courtyard (you know, between the parked cars and garbage bins). :rolleyes:

When I lived in NYC, one of my neighbors was a girl that studied violin at the Manhattan Music School. Whenever I came back to my apartment, I would hear her practice over and over and over and over and over and over. Does it sound romantic? Well, IT WASN'T.

My upstairs neighbor is a law student who also plays the cello in an orchestra. She practices (and sometimes the piano), but fortunately these old buildings block a lot of noise between the different floors. :D

I can see you're missing the 10. Bezirk balkan technopop already. :)

My downstairs neighbor is a single mother who constantly practices the phrase, "Mommy be back soon," over and over and over.

The US has banned Samsung Galaxy Note 7's from being carried on planes, or stowed in luggage.  Seems they can blow up.  Samsung has stopped production, is offering $100 discount coupons, and has taken a 2.3 BEELION dollar write off.
