PEDAL POWER Vienna
This morning I went bicycling with Pedal Power Vienna. I booked the trip through Expedia, and it turned out to be an informative experience. However, the guide was not a particularly exciting person, thus the bicycle trip ended up being a little disappointing.
Yesterday, I tried eating the "world famous" Wiener Schnitzel, which apparently originates from Milan.
Being close to Germany, the food here is rather plain, but I guess I can survive for a few days. If I were to stay here longer, I would have to start hitting some Asian restaurants.
The fact that has impressed me most about Vienna so far is that people are capable of standing in lines. On the escalator, people neatly line up on the right side and let people pass on the left. It is extremely hot here at the moment, almost too warm to be quite honest. If global warming continues, someone really needs to introduce the concept of air condition to the Austrians.
Also, thanks to Holland for beating Italy 3-0 yesterday in the European Championships. It was a fantastic match to watch.
