A More Traditional Dinner at Grätzlheuriger

When it comes to Austria, I hadn’t really known what was traditional and what was not. I’ve been to Germany a handful of times, which feels similar in vibes, so was excited to try some more traditional food when visiting Austria. When we landed, we went to Grätzlheuriger, which has Austrian and Slovak food. The inside of the restaurant is very cozy and quant, which feels traditional, without being flashy. The staff were very kind to us English speakers and gave us English menus, that also had a picture side, which was very helpful as some of the translations were a bit perplexing to me!

Exploring the Pokemon European International Champions

[Ad- gifted experience] It’s not the first year that I have attended the Pokemon Europe International Championships, which is a huge, overwhelmingly Pokemon focused event that happens at the Excel each year. As this year is the 30th anniversary of Pokemon, there was an even bigger buzz than usual as the event was coming up.  I am very much into Pokemon, running a local Pokemon Go community (that’s officially partnered with Niantic) and I’ve written about Pokemon events as a member of the press for quite some time – so I wasn’t going to miss this event which was a stone’s throw away from my town!

Exploring the Austrian National Library

Now, when it was explained that one of our outings while in Austria would be to the Austrian National Library, I didn’t really get why would we would be going there. Surely, I’ve seen libraries before! We were then told that this is one of the libraries that Beauty and the Beast was inspired by, I was a little more interested, but still thought it would be like a normal, functioning library. It turns out, the Austrian National Library is more like a museum that is within a library, and it’s absolutely packed with people.

Ding Dong Dim Sum Set Boxes – Perfect for Date Night

[Ad- gifted product] Dann and I are big food lovers, especially Asian food. Though we are known to go out quite a bit, it’s fun to mix things up and have an at home date night from time to time. Especially as we are both people who work from home, and with kids to feed in the evening, having a little at home date night box full of food for a lunchtime date is sometimes absolutely perfect. That’s exactly what we did with our Ding Dong Dim Sum Set box – we went with the Legends box – which was so much fun!
