Wien (A big step into not suck)

Vienna!!





Oh, lovely Vienna. Right on, now here is a people with their proverbial heads out of their asses. Great city, again, great city. Long beautiful streets filled with quaint shops, cheerful people, laughing and joy full children and to boot this little bad boy is CLEAN.

I know what your thinking, "So your telling me the streets are not literally crumbling apart without attention or care? every nook and cranny of each window is not filled with random bits of garbage that you are lucky to notice since you just stepped in dog shit again?"

Nope dude, this town is well managed and full of lovely sights such as the Parliament gardens and palace gardens, long luxurious mother fuckers of gardens which smell and feel wonderful. Such a breath of fresh air, figuratively and spiritually.

The English name of Vienna, the German name Wien, and the names of the city in most languages, are thought to be derived from the Celtic name of a settlement, but opinions vary on the precise origin. Some claim that the name comes from Vedunia, meaning "forest stream", which subsequently became Venia, Wienne and Wien. Others claim that the name comes from the name of the Roman settlement Vindobona, probably meaning "white base/bottom", which became Vindovina, Viden and Wien.

And the food and drink can not be beat, well, we will see. Vienna, along with Paris, Prague, Bratislava (shudders) and London is one of the few remaining world capital cities with its own vineyards. The wine is served in small Viennese pubs known as Heuriger.

Visit this city, so says I
