Today and yesterday, I am in Vienna. Grammar check? I’m here because it was a logical stop on the way to Prague. About an hour away is the capital of Slovakia, Bratislava. Today, I jumped on a bus to see what the place had to offer.
I found that Bratislava is exactly what I expected Vienna to be. Small, quaint, and charming. Vienna, on the other hand, is very large and impersonal. The people are nice, but I keep forgetting I am in Austria. I almost refer to Austria as Germany over and over again.
One good thing about everyone speaking German is hearing the children shooting off their best infant accents. Some of them sound charming while some of them sound like Minni Hitlers. Quite a site.
I met a few Aussies last night who have been traveling through Western Europe on 30 euros a day. That’s 43 bucks (an ambitious plan indeed). But I tend to not have much interest in eating bread and water for every meal. It just puts the $170/day budget that many of my friends from home had into perspective.
