Highlights of (Mr. Volín in) Vienna.

Once in the bus, Mr. Volín called himself the sheriff and he was the greatest sheriff I've ever met. He asked each one of us to compose a poem about Vienna so he had something to read (out loud) in the bus. In Vienna, Mr. Volín took us to Vienna's Sound Museum in which we were supposed to do some homework. Some of us did. After a nice visit of the Museum we went for a walk in Vienna, a beautiful city, full of “houses that are nice even though I can't think of many historical facts on them,” as he would say. He was very modest – those who were listening closely got to know many interesting facts though, e.g. noticing the famous balcony on which the bomb exploded in the first episode of the Inspector Rex series. The walk was over once we reached what Mr. Volín appreciates the most in Vienna – an ice cream shop. We all had one, following his example.
