TT Web, so far all your "YouTube" videos are working fine, no probs. I think once we all go using our cameras on video mode or our camcorders we will be be posting ours as well. Unfortunately I have to wait until September 08 before I can post mine.

So far so good, it will take off soon, cheers.

"Strictly Ballroom" is one of my favourite movies of all time. Thank you TTWeb for this little vignette.

Great videos TTWeb, although I have no sound! (it's a mystery! sometimes I do, sometimes I don't) By your commentary Brenda, I take it had Strictly Ballroom music, one of my favorites movies also. My hip was hurting just watching those youngsters dance! I enjoyed all your videos, lots of fun.

Californian, did you remember to turn on the sound on your computer, not just the link? It was silent for me until I thought to do that, and now the room is filled with lovely music!

What memories this video invoked. We had a wonderful evening in the Vienna Woods

It too brought back memories of doing the 'chicken dance' in the Vienna woods

Hate to be negative but ....reaallly..thechicken dance?? OMG, I wonder if this was taken before or after the included drinks??

jewel ~ I can understand how watching the video would make you come to the conclusion that it was a really cheesy night. As a PR exercise it is not what I personally would have chosen as a promo. Trust me it was a great night, a lovely drive into the woods, good restaurant, nice food & lovely atmosphere. Guess you just have to experience it for yourself.

p.s. I don't drink so it wasn't the included drinks that 'helped' me form my opinion.

Yes jewel I think it was the included vino that helped initiate the chicken dance but we all had such a fantastic time on this optional, even those non-drinkers. From the start of the evening at the schnapps museum, the drive out to the woods and the lovely meal, all made for a great evening with a fantastic atmosphere. The day and evening was made all the better as on that particular day it was our TDs birthday. He had cake and a few little novelty gifts presented (representing the countries we came from) in the afternoon before we all got ready for the optional. Because our TD always wore black (everyday) we all dressed in something black too for this special evening optional. I think is was one, if not the best, evening of our tour from my perspective.

As a matter of interest, NZNurse, what did you find in Vienna to represent New Zealand?

A key ring with a cute white sheep on it...

Aaah! I should have known! i hope it was the right breed!

Sorry Dimpz and Nz Nurse, but the chicken dancers bought back come rather unpleasant memories of family gatherings that my in laws have had and if my husband ever sees that video, I'll never hear the end of it as well as him probably wanting "out" of this tour
