On Friday, we don't have class, so we meet up with Tate in front of the main cathedral, Stephansdom, so he can show us around to bookshops and pen shops. We go to one awesome graphic design bookshop, which I will be returning to. We hit an art and architecture bookshop, where the aforementioned subjects are divided in the middle of the room. We go into several pen shops. It is our task to find a good fountain pen while we are here, and some brown ink, which is not sold anywhere else, apparently. It is hard to find good ones that aren't cheap, or too expensive. You can spend up to a few thousand euro on a Mont Blanc.
After shopping, we go to Centimeter III, a restaurant where I ate last year. It is as delicious as I remember: warm bread covered in three kinds of cheese by the centimeter, Bernwürstel (sausages wrapped in bacon on a bed of fries with mustard), and Budweiser that isn't the cheap American kind.
We meet up later on at our homestay to hang out before going out. We spend time at a little bar on Laudongasse before moving on to an Irish pub just inside the Ring. I play pool with an expat sporting a devil beard. It's his birthday next week and he invites us out, but we'll be in Prague that weekend. He seems disappointed.
The rain has stopped for the first time in days, although it's still overcast.
