Alter Laa
Today I went with my friend Martin to Alterlaa. Its in the 21st or 22nd district and its quite away from the city. Martin told me this area could be called a bad area but that is by Austrian standard. Nothing close to what could be called a bad area in NYC. So any way we walked through this area and I could feel almost like I was in New York City. We even came across an abandoned car that had been in a bad accident. There neighborhood was made up of an industrial section and then there were these apartment buildings that looked like Co-op City with a shopping center and all. Martin told me when they first built this housing area there were problems with crime and even gangs but that now they are becoming quite expensive housing. They have swimming pools on the roofs. One of my favorite things I saw today was this kid with the Wu-tang Klan hat on. They Kare one of my favorite Hip Hop groups and to see some young kid wearing a hat with the Wu-tang Klan emblem is so funny and amazing to me. Martin is going back to work for Magnum in New York City again, this time they're paying him. It was an interesting walk today. Notice the snow around. Its been snowing about everyday this week since the weekend. I love it!! haha.

yea i agree, I didnt like the photo so much as I liked the idea of the Kid with a Wu-tang hat in the outskirts of Wien. I love how hip hop is so big in the world!

i like the color pictures you posted from that day. even the one where i am on (actually i like that picture of me pretty much). ;-) they give a sense of the nice weather and light. and of course the cat in the first picture.
but honestly i don't like the last bw picture. it's too much of a telephoto shot and you see a small boy standing on the street but that's about it. did you post that because it was the boy with the wu-tang klan hat?
