Oh heck. I'm just going to keep updating this blog (for now) because there are things I can write about that relate to Austria (Europe?), even though I'm not there anymore. And actually, there are still quite a few posts that I kind of want to write, even if it is just for myself (e.g., some stuff about London/Norway/Stockholm).

Anyway, last night I went to the kitchen to get some ice for my water (how American? Haha...) and then I saw that House Hunters International was on TV. Naturally, I had to see where in the world they were doing some house hunting this episode and, since the world is crazy and full of coincidences, this episode was about house (well, apartment) hunting in VIENNA. I had to watch it, obviously. I think the first apartment they were looking at was in Neubau (7th District) and the second one was in Wieden (4th District). I have no idea about the last one since it was 4 miles outside of the city or something.

Also, today I was just reading some stuff online, like I normally do. I came across this thing written by an Austrian who has also lived in the US/England about the things he liked and did not like about living abroad. In one part, he mentioned how Austrians are way ruder than people in the US/England. I realize that there are billions of people in this world so it would make sense that our experiences are different, but I seriously didn't notice extremely rude people when I was in Austria -- not even in Vienna, where people are supposed to be significantly more rude or something. In fact, one of the first things I noticed upon returning to the States was that people are way ruder here! When I was at Navy Pier the other day, I accidentally brushed some lady and was like, "Sorry" and she freaked out. She was all like, "UH, THE PROPER WORD IS EXCUSE ME!!" Seriously? SERIOUSLY? Of course, I suppose this was probably just an isolated incident, as Americans are generally known for being (obnoxiously...?) friendly -- like, to a point where it scares people.
