A Viennese Update

Since I'm writing a lot about Italy, I think I should just write a quick blurb on how life in Wien is.

I think the most important thing to note is that Gregoire, the french guy, has informed me of the French love of Burger King. Apparently, BK used to be in France but for some reason they aren't there anymore. So now when the French travel, their restaurant of choice is BK. That, and apparently the "French don't care!"

Also, a small group of us went to the Natural History museum. They have a few live animals including a display of poison dart frogs and garter snakes (of all things, I find those in my back yard - or Declan's back yard). They've got a really impressive collection of gems there and I went looking around until I found one from Ohio. I've got a picture of it some where. They also have a prehistoric fish skull from Cleveland. That being said, it's got nothing on the Smithsonian. It is a very nice museum, though.

Last night, I went to a pub and spent a decent amount of time talking to Gregoire about the history of sea warfare from the 1600's on which I thought was pretty interesting. Afterwards, at about 1 o'clock am I went out with Erkel, Ozan, and Berk to go looking for food or a bar or something. I wasn't quite sure what the goal was. Those guys are great. They're all Turks and they're a helluva lot of fun. I wound up going to bed around 7:30 because we were out so late just hanging out. Good times.
