Froehliche Weihnachten

Wien was a great trip.  The city is beautiful and it was certainly great to spend Christmas in a place where most of the population celebrates.  There's lots of photos after the jump (somewhere around 150).  Just saying.

Click on for the pics.  That's what you really came here for anyway.

This is where I live

Friends from India arrived yesterday for a vacation/honeymoon/stop on the way to the States.  I met up with them today for a cold boat ride up the Bosphorus.  Here's a good view of the city from the water.  Maybe this break I'll take some time to visit other areas and show you what they look like too.

 

 

 

That's the mosque in my title picture.  It's being redone at the moment.  Keep heading up this direction and you'll eventually hit my place.

Pfizer.  There's lots of Viagra on display in the pharmacies here.

A favourite nook for breakfast.
