Well, this is hard work.. how was Vienna? Did you go see some famous (dead) composers? Did you rebuff the Ottoman turks using only a banana skin and a keen Mario Kart like sense of combat? Did you visit the worlds oldest zoo, Tiergarten Schonbrun?

Would you recommend Vienna?

THat is all.

How bout you give a synopsis first, and we'll take the question asking from there. Right now, I feel like this is a cruel, cruel social game of 20 questions. Is it bigger than a bread box? Is it made of metal? Can I buy one?

You're telling me now that you're gone? :P

Well, I can only recommend the Third Man guided tour through the guts of the city. It's pretty cool. And the Museum of Natural History.


Why snark works.

Oh crap, I forgot that you livein that damn place!

Actually I went with this really bad airline called "RyanAir" which landed me in Bratislava, Slovakia, so I went on a coach ride through the border, into Vienna.

I stayed in this ex Soviet three star hotel which had this giant Nokia telephone advert down the front and a huge Tesco with about 5 floors.

The hotel that I stayed in was attached to the Tesco building, and the windows were just the right size to be throwen out of by a Soviet spy <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

When we got to Vienna, it was like we had reached civilisation again.

One thing that you could tell was the city was packed full of immigrants, which was something you take for granted in a European country, but it was something that felt erriely missing in Slovakia.

You've been at the Brunnenmarkt? It's like the "Turkish Quarter" of Vienna. Lot's of Kebab stands and "S?permarkets" (no, there's no "?" in the German word for supermarket <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif"> )


Why snark works.
