Weekend Vibezz

All I Want for Christmas Is You...very welcome 😂

I can't wait to hear this music a million times during a Christmas season + Last Christmas from Wham 

This month has passed as if we were traveling through time at the speed of light, and on Sunday we arrived in December. December is my favorite month, not only because it is my birthday, but also because of the Christmas atmosphere - flavours - lights - foods. I love walking in the evenings, because I can admire the beautifully decorated houses and there is nothing more beautiful than when it snows.

The Christmas markets have already opened their doors, where you can buy ridiculously overpriced products, where the smell of roasted chestnuts fills the markets and you can sip delicious warm punch and mulled wine in the cold weather.

At this time, cities set up their most beautifully decorated Christmas trees in their main squares, and the city is also adorned with festive lights. Christmas music is already playing on the radios and in shopping malls, and everywhere people are buying Christmas gifts to express their love...Christmas has unfortunately become a huge spending and marketing holiday, because gifts are not what's important, but we can spend the holidays with our loved ones and eat delicious food and cakes. You can see that I'm Hungarian - just the food and the board game nights, the lots of conversations and watching movies with the family.

Our car was at the mechanic's, as it not only had to be changed to winter tires, but also to have the brakes changed and a technical inspection. When I travel, I always get used to looking at cars and a few years ago the Cupra car appeared. As we "focused on it", we saw this car more and more often and today, finally, our replacement car was a Cupra. I just sat in it for the first time in my life and after our "old" car, it always feels so good to sit in a modern car and feel the wonders of technology. I can't drive, and I honestly don't want to, I've been wanting a self-drive car since I was a child (I don't know where this came from, since I hadn't even watched the sci-fi movie at the time and hadn't heard about it anywhere) because I like to look around the scene, not focus on driving, and besides, I have no sense of space, so for me the car ends behind me. So today was a big surprise for me from the Universe. Although I think this car is overpriced, it doesn't feel as plasticky as many new cars.

Today we finally left home and went to Vienna to see the Haus des Meeres: Aqua Terra Zoo, since I had never been there before and this year the visit to Schönbrunn Zoo was cancelled because the pandas were returned to China. As usual, the traffic in Vienna was terrible, especially since many places were under road renovation and there were big traffic jams in many places. This is one of the reasons why we don't really go to the capital except visiting my boyfriend´s mother, but I always admire the beautiful, old buildings near the main district. The good news is that many buildings are constantly being renovated from the outside and preserve the old (Tartarian) beauty, but the many new buildings spoil this cityscape.

This aquatic zoo is open 7 days a week from 9am to 8pm and is home to around 10,000 animals. The building has 9 floors and is accessible by stairs or elevator. An adult ticket costs 21.90 Euros and you can get an extra parking ticket here, so parking in the nearby parking garage is half priced when you check out.

There are not only aquatic animals here, but also tropical animals such as monkeys, reptiles, birds. The good news is that work has also begun at the famous Schönbrunn Zoo in Vienna and there will also be an aquatic aquarium there.

There were a lot of people here on Friday afternoon, lots of families with tiny babies a few months old, lots of children and an entire school class - I think this kind of biology class is enjoyable and exciting. 

The building has many panoramic windows, and on the 9th floor there is a 360-degree panorama with a beautiful view of Vienna, as well as a restaurant and a café. There are many places to sit and admire the many fish, as well as an exhibition about how much garbage the ocean is full of.

I think it was a good experience, although on the one hand I feel sorry for these animals/fish that they can swim around in such a small place, but on the other hand I am happy that I can see these creatures from faraway places in the world and I don't have to swim among piranhas to see one. 

Only the koi fish were pettable, although I would have really petted the little monkeys, they were so cute. In the tropical wing, the monkeys and birds could jump and fly freely, and two of them appeared for a photo.

Whenever we go on vacation and there's a zoo or wildlife park, I always visit these places. Even though I hate snakes, I still look at them, just like here...it's so comfortable to be separated from them by a big glass window and not get to know them by twisting around me.

What I really liked was this turtle.

This little creatures had amazing flower patterns

The lovely Jellyfish - so tiny, some swimming upside-down.

 

The stingray is so grumpy from above, but when you look at it from below, it's so cute

What a cutie pie 😍

After the fish zoo, we ended our trip to Vienna with a kebab sandwich, and it took us 1 hour to get out of Vienna, pay for our car's repair and technical inspection, and come home. Next, we would like to visit the War Museum, which is free on Sundays, but a few exhibitions are under renovation here, as is the crocodile enclosure in this aquatic zoo.

I love water, it reminds me of my home and of a good old time here on Earth. Whenever I listen to deep underwater sounds, especially the sounds of whales and dolphins, I always cry bitterly, but later I feel very calm, cleansed, rejuvenated, like with this music. I miss it very much...I think this is my mermaid heritage.

I'm saying goodbye to this week with this beautiful healing meditation music (may you will cry too), have a nice weekend and a nice start to December :)
