Vienna

The buildings here are different here than back in my hometown. There aren't any skyscrapers but rather the they were all about the same height. They all have a contemporary style to them rather than Gothic. The landscaping is in order and is consistent. I am not sure what I expected but it wasn't this. The city is smaller city than it appears to be especially considering it is one of the smallest cities in Austria. There was a big culture shock in Vienna mostly because of the language barrios (they speak German). Those that did speak English knew very little or if they did it was hard to understand with the accent and how quickly they talk. The city itself just seems so busy, people just seem to be constant go, go, go. One thing that astonished me was that you had to pay to drink water at a restraint and also to use public bathrooms. This is because they are a capitalist country and they think why I should let you use my facilities if you won't give me anything for it (unless of course you dine in). I am just so used to having those kinds of things in America be free to me that I really took it for granted without even realizing it.
