hello from vienna!
just arrived last night. the flight here was fine. they served tastey sandwiches and two (2!) drinks. the flight attendants tried to speak to me in german just about every time they came by, but they soon learned i'm an english speaker.
by the time i rode into central vienna from the airport, then out on the U-bahn (subway) to the hostel, i didn't check in until after midnight. the guy at the front desk was relatively friendly, though, so all was well. i got to my 6-person dorm to find it almost-full with 5 other men, all sound asleep. so i had to tiptoe around to store my things and make my bed in the dark. i grabbed my toiletries bag, and headed to the bathroom to brush my teeth, and all those other bed-time rituals. alas, when i opened the bag, i discovered that possibly due to the pressure of being on an international flight, the bottle containing my shower gel committed container suicide. and the guts got all over everything else in the bag... so i gave up and went to bed with dirty teeth.
but i cleaned everything up this morning after my shower, so all is right in the world. and my teeth are sparkling.
ok. i'm off to breakfast, then to figure out what the hell i'm going to do in vienna. wish me luck!
happy travels
