Wherein, I try to recall everytime I thought: "I should post this" the past four weeks.
- Wieners are from Vienna. I admit it took me a full two days _after_ leaving Vienna to realise this. (Vienna is Wien in the German). Best way to consume a wien wurstel? From a street stand with a draft beer --in a glass-- with mustard and roll on the side.
- Vienna has the worst holocaust memorial I've ever seen. Surprised?
- Receiving the espresso with a glass of water on a silver tray is a fine Viennese custom.
- Best way to travel: on a train, BYOB.
- Summer fashion in Budapest is like spending all day at an amusement park.
- White pants? Check. White underpants? Check.
- Non-ironic heavy metal is alive and well in Hungary.
- Greatest name for a convenience store chain in Romania.
- Budapest : Bucharest :: Davis Square : Union Square
- Of course it's going to lightning and thunder as you descend the slippery trail through the dark forest on the way to Dracula's castle.
- Getting onto the Blue Line at the airport stop and using the ticket machine was _almost_ europe-like.
See for yourself.
