Vienna. It took me 6h on an hydrofoil to get here from Budapest (don´t think I have ever been that fast on water. Nice but long)
Vienna. It took me 10 years to come back. I spent New Year 1997-1998 here. The only thing I remember from this week is the club we went to on New Year´s Eve, SofienSale. It has brunt down since then.
Today I really wonder why I travel as I forgot 95% of the Vienna I saw 10 years ago. Been walking around the city today and it seems all new to me. Why do I travel really, as my memory is the one of a gold fish.
Anyway, nice city, magnificent, superb, grandiose.... but it does not do it for me. It is too big, to show off. As well, tourism has plagued Vienna like so many other cities. I cannot stand all these groups moving together anymore. And here they are everywhere. Call me intolerant, call me anti-social... but they are a pain in the ass. Best time to visit the city, before 11am. After this time, the city turns into a zoo and the best thing to do is to leave for a park or a walk along the Danube outside the old town...
