Vienna

I have just returned from a weekend holiday in Vienna and I have to say it was awesome. Minus the fact that i don't know much German my friends and I were able to successfully navigate our way around the town without any problems whatsoever. I mean Vienna is much like any other European city in that its very culturally diverse. There are people from all over the world everywhere (but not many Americans or well we didn't see many). My friends Ross, Clay, Joe, and I arrived in Vienna on Thursday May21 and at first we walked out of the airport and looked at each other all thinking the same thought "Well we are here... now what the hell do we do" We were very confused about all the signs in German and somewhat lost even (Thank you whoever decided pictures were a great way of communication I think it was some caveman) for without picture we may have never it out of the airport. We were lost again however when the bus dropped us off at the bus stop in the seventh district (also the gay district... we didn't know this until we were there) called Wien Westbahnhof. Anyways to make a long and confusing story short we wound up finding our way to the Hostel Panda where we would be living the next few days. We were greeted by a group of Dutch kids who were also in Vienna for holiday...These kids were cool, but after sitting around with them for awhile we soon realized that they did not like Americans too much, and after I argued with a kid about American politics for a bit (he was trying to say I am an idiot even though he has never been to America and the reason he does not want to go was because he was scared he would run into George Bush... which would have been surprising as I have not met George Bush and I don't think he spends his days wandering through the streets waving.)

Anyways Dutch kids not super cool, but alright. We spent the next day walking around Vienna and seeing as much as we could... it would be about this point I posted all the wonderful pictures I took and even a video I was planning on making which would document my trip, however my computer decided it hates my cameras memory card and erased all of the pictures I took this weekend... SO long Vienna its like you never existed.

I guess I will just say that we had an amazing time in Vienna and we met some very strange people and saw some incredible sights such as the top of Mount Untersburg (a part of the Alps).
