Hoping that my impression would not fail me to realize that this first travel outside my home land (Manila, Philippines) is as exciting as any other usual experience that I had, it seemed like I had left my thoughts in Manila. Smelling the fresh air of Vienna, I thought i smelled the breath of my seven-month old baby Agatha. Oh, how I missed my little Angel. Viewing her everyday through the webcam makes me so sick that I wanna go back home. Ooooppss.. since this travel is quite job related, I cannot afford to do so. Baby..just wait for your Mom ok? Thank God for the coffee houses which serve as second living rooms to Austrians."Schlagobers", an austrian dialect for a brewed coffee with lots of whipped cream on top, drew my soul closer to Vienna. Near my apartment is Cafe Demel from which I tasted and now indulged with my first Kaffee mit Schlagobers. I really enjoy this childish gesture of having milk moustache on my upper lip from sipping cup after cup of coffee laced with cherry brandy and lots of whipped cream. People here say that a stop in a Viennese cafe is a ritual of many and part of their daily existence. Though I'm not an austrian, dropping by the cafe will now be my defense mechanism so as not to miss my baby and my homeland.
