Hiya, I went on holiday to Vienna, Austria recently, and have only just decided of starting a chat about it on here :smile: If you have any questions, please, feel free to ask...

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?

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 :smile:
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.
