1) it rules.
2) Vienna has the best public transportation system I have ever seen. A week-long pass cost me about $13 (a monthly pass is $40), and was good for unlimited rides on any subway, bus, or tramway. There is no one who checks to see if you have a ticket, and there are no turnstiles or anything to prevent you from just getting on the subway, but everyone follows the rules anyway. The subway system is very extensive, and you can get almost anywhere without much walking. It is also very reliable. The signs at the station indicate how many minutes until the next train, and they're accurate.
3) These people eat nothing but meat and beer, but there aren't very many fat people. I'm not sure how that works. I put on 2kg in 2 weeks, and I didn't have any beer.
4) Kinderpunsch is really good. Take a cup of water, add half a cup of sugar, two pinches of ground clove, and a pinch of ground cinnamon (or a whole cinnamon stick) and bring to a boil. Then dump in three cups of apple juice and serve once it gets hot (don't let the apple juice boil). Then make more and more and eat it all. YUM! It's really just mulled cider. But yum regardless.
5) I want some peanuts.
6) I'm suffering from severe jetlag, and am not doing well in recalling my experiences in Vienna. But I recommend that everyone go to Vienna, at once. And visit the VIC, home of the IAEA; it's awesome.


I'm not visiting no home of the durned IAEA until they acknowledge the noble role that consonants play in our alphabet.
