Poop bags for horses
In Vienna horses drawing carriages around the old inner city have individually designed poop bags attached. They are required by law in cities such as Vienna, NewYork and Dresden.?Apparently one of the reasons cars became popular in the early 1900's was the problem with horse poop, particularly in rapidly growing cities like New York. If this idea had been thought of then cars may not have become so popular so quickly.

A refreshing spray on a hot day in the city
Today we went on a day tour of Bratislava from Vienna and were surprised to see this water spray in the main square of the old town with many people going through to get a refreshing spray. We've only seen something similar at beaches.

A Bitcoin store
I've read about bitcoin but never seen anything physical. I was therefore surprised to see a Bitcoin store opposite our Astoria Hotel in Vienna. Apparently it was the first store opened in the world. There's another one in Amsterdam. I enquired and was told I could invest a minimum of 10 euros.

Art stored in digitally controlled shelves
About 1 million works of art on paper are stored in the Albertina Museum's 24 metre deep shelving canyons in Vienna. The shelves are fully automatic and digitally controlled, protected against direct light, temperature fluctuations, dampness and bacteria. The museum's collection offers a rich overview of 600 years of art history.
