Burger, Mate?

 So imagine going to a restaurant and seeing these menu item choices:

Notice that grilled grasshoppers are offered as one element of the "Mixed Plate." I decided to have a kangaroo burger, medium well with barbecue sauce.


They put a kangaroo flag in it, just in case the customer forgets what they've ordered. This wasn't a real problem for me. I found it impossible to forget I was consuming the meat of a kangaroo.

After this classy classy meal, I went to hear the Viennese Philharmonic Orchestra play a concert in the gigantic, magnificent garden of Schonbrunn Palace. At this once-a-year, Rolex-sponsored event, the best of the city puts on a free concert.... You can't even imagine the crush and crowd of people on the metro... 

A tiny part of the palace but enough for you to get the idea. 

As you walk pass through the magnificent courtyard you see 
A huge mass of people.. and a concert waaaaaaay in the distance. 
It still sounded beautiful though! 
They played Star Wars and Strauss. Not a bad way to end a long day of work.
