Vier

I would definitely visit Vienna, Austria once more. The city was fantastic but what was even better was Dr. Schnabel, Dr. Wasser's mysterious friend that reminds me a lot of Dr. Wasser. Dr. Schnabel taught us so much about medicine in Vienna. From old cures the plague doctors would use that we got to try to the historical medical buildings of the city. Dr. Schnabel first gave us some clove that was thought to protect one from the noxious plague fumes. Dr. Schnabel told us to put the cloves in our mouths; I was skeptical at first but it was actually really good. I honestly wanted another one because it reminded me almost of like a cinnamon-mint mixture. The other cure Dr. Schnabel gave us was this carbonated apple drink with some hints of pear that honestly tasted pretty good. The worst drink Dr. Schnabel gave the class was apple cider vinegar. Drinking that was terrible and the acidity made it burn when it went down. Fortunately Dr. Schnabel was generous enough to Haribo peach gummy candies which were really good.

Walking around the Schonbrunner Schlosspark and Schloss Schonbrunn building was such a tranquil and serene experience. Unfortunately the maze was closed because of winter but nonetheless, the scenery was still spectacular. Once we arrived to the mansion, a group of Chinese school students were performing traditional Chinese music with traditional Chinese music which was really cool. I recorded them and showed them to my mom which she really appreciated. After we hiked up the Schonbrunner Schlosspark, we could see an amazing view of Vienna. There was also an enormous building with stairs from the front, left, and right that resembled ancient Greek-like architecture. I walked behind it expecting something great but it was a only a pool of water where the sewage (possibly from the cafe) poor into.
