Day 5 - Shopping with Robbie

Today was a quite uneventful day. In the morning I went to a doctor friend of ours to check on my general health condition. (We will see how bad that cafeteria food really was for me) It costs nothing to do that because of my insurance and it is quite useful, since you know afterwards if you are lacking something in your diet.
After that I went shopping with my little brother Robbie. I'll add a newer picture of him tomorrow. I needed to buy some nice shoes, since I left the old pair I had in America. The shopping experience was quite interesting. Everything is ridiculously expensive over here. Well maybe not ridiculously, but definitely more expensive than in America. I was looking for a nice pair of running shoes too, but decided not to buy one, since the average price was 100€, which is about 140$. (I have to say though that I went to one of the nicer stores)
Well, to come shopping here as a tourist is probably not such a smart idea. You are far better off with Ross and Marshalls in America.
It was also interesting to have a 3 year old with me at all times. It requires quite an amount of concentration to make sure he doesn't do something crazy. He is a really nice and cute boy though and very smart for his age, just very active too.
Tonight I fixed my surround sound speakers (Somebody broke them while I was gone) and that was almost it for a whole day. I like it that I can take it easy for right now. It is nice after all the stress of the last couple weeks.
That's it for today. Gute Nacht (Good night as the Austrians would say) I promise I will finally sort all my pictures tomorrow and upload some nice ones.
