Europe Post #3: A few differences and pictures

1)  It doesn't get dark till about 9:30.  2)  The people here don't use a flat sheet.  They put a fitted sheet on the bed and use duvet covers.  They wash the duvet covers instead of a fitted sheet.  3)  No air conditioning.  4)  A lot of places don't have hand soap in the bathroom... or maybe I've just been unlucky.  5)  At least in my host home - we don't wear shoes.  6)  The grocery stores close at 7:30 pm.  7)  The opera will not let you in if you have on shorts (personal experience...)  8) To Kelsey, I saw a nun.  9)  To Charlie, one of my classmates ate a kiwi - skin and all.  10)  A hotdog consists of a hollowed baguette with various types of sausage inside.  11)  Sleeping late is hard to do when... a = it gets light before 5 am; b = you sleep with open windows (remember - no AC) and lots of dogs are barking.  12)  They have lactose-free cheese here.  And soy-ice cream.  Hallelujah.  13)  All of the deodorant is in the form of spray.  14)  I eat nutella every morning for breakfast.

Today:  breakfast, grocery shopping, homework, lunch, class, walking tour, dinner, rejection from the opera, home, homework

Here are a few pictures from the walking tour.

A monument.  An orthodox Jew scrubbing the road as in Kristallnacht.  Few Jews live in Vienna now.
