Dear North Americans,

Thanks for visiting, sharing and contacting me for the past few years!!!

Some years ago, i assumed that the most interested persons were from Australia.

I was wrong.

My Blog counts 
MORE THAN TWICE AS MUCH
visitors from North American as from Australia.

I would never have thought that way.

Bless you,

Mik

Another dream i had...

... be able to take one of these into my hands!


Bambi Presszó

Since i have known of its existence (here), i dreamt of going there.
So i went.



 

Try to look surprised now, look what is to be seen among all the Bambis!!!

My utmost pride & pleasure has nothing to do with coffee machines...


Zum Bogner

More infos about the architecture here.


"Zum Bogner" - Naglergasse, 4
is where Desider Stern lived.


His name is still there...


After a short ride in this lift from past times...


... you'll arrive to this door.


 And i dream that if i'd come earlier to Austria,
HE would have opened the door.
We would have had a lot to talk about.

(I arrived in October 2000 in Vienna, he had passed away that year in April.)

The journey touches its end.
