shopping, starbucks, shopping again, chinese food, starbucks again, drinks and finally a movie

On Tuesday I had an eventful day out with my sister. We left the house at around 12:45 and spent the entire day on Mariahilferstrasse (the largest shopping street in Vienna). Basically we were trying to kill time before 8:00 P.M. when a thing called "Sneak Preview" - where you go and watch a movie without previously knowing which movie you are watching - was scheduled to start. So after entering and buying something from the third H&M on the street my sister and I decided to take a break and visit the Starbucks located towards the bottom of the seemingly never-ending street. After ordering a caramel macchiato and something unbelievably chocolaty we went over to sit in the window and waste as much time as we possibly could. Of course when two girls are faced with a window, Starbucks coffee and a constant supply of hot and not so hot guys walking past, the first thing that pops into our head to do is to rate those who just happen to walk by.
So half an hour past quite seamlessly and we had seen several 10's as well as quite a few 1's so we decided to proceed with rating outfits instead of looks. Let me tell you, there were many unbelievable fashion atrocities but of course there were many exceedingly exceptional outfits. Once we had finished we went out again for a little more shopping before dinner. After some more carefully planned time wasting, we decided to go out for dinner and we settled on a much loved fast-food Japanese place called Akakiko. We ate until our bellies were full and then scuttled out and onwards towards the cinema. On the way we stopped one last time at another Starbucks for another round of caramel macchiatos and then we finally made it to the cinema.
We were early of course so we decided to have a drink at a bar around the corner before actually entering the cinema. Then finally we finished our drinks and sat ourselves down in a large cinema anticipating what the movie we were about to watch was doing to be. Then as the African music started and we heard people playing rugby, we squealed with excitement as we knew that we were about to watch Invictus which I must say is one of the best movies I have ever seen in my entire life. The day ended with a bang and was truly worth it.
