Wherein, I try to recall everytime I thought: "I should post this" the past four weeks.

<ul>
<li>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.
<li>Vienna has the worst holocaust memorial I've ever seen. Surprised?
<li>Receiving the espresso with a glass of water on a silver tray is a fine Viennese custom.
<li>Best way to travel: on a train, BYOB.
<li>Summer fashion in Budapest is like spending all day at an amusement park.
<li>White pants? Check. White underpants? Check.
<li>Non-ironic heavy metal is alive and well in Hungary.
<li><a href="http://www.angst.ro">Greatest name for a convenience store chain in Romania</a>.
<li>Budapest : Bucharest :: Davis Square : Union Square
<li>Of course it's going to lightning and thunder as you descend the slippery trail through the dark forest on the way to <a href="http://brancastlemuseum.ro/indexfrm.htm">Dracula's castle</a>.
<li>Getting onto the Blue Line at the airport stop and using the ticket machine was _almost_ europe-like.
</ul>
