Cool Dude on Graben, originally uploaded by scottpartee.

I met this cool guy on Graben. I’ve seen him around before, and even have a shot or two of him wearing Lederhosen in my photostream somewhere.
Anyway, [...]

Spittelberg Christmas Market, originally uploaded by scottpartee.

I’m converted. I used to think Vienna’s Christmas markets were a bit overrated and charmless. In the early 90s, they were basically flea markets for cheap stuff. But the [...]

Arnold Apfel, originally uploaded by scottpartee.

Seriously. This is an individually-boxed, €0,99 apple from Styria featuring the “Arnold” brand. It says stuff about being powerful because it comes from the homeland of Arnold Schwarzenegger .

Hi everybody. Can I get another WTF? Here I am in Vienna, and the weather service is predicting hurricane force winds. So I’m thinking, “whatever”. Then I go to the online news and, sure enough, there’s a freaking hurricane hitting Germany as we speak.

So our buddy Kyrill is roaring down to Mitteleuropa. Personally, I’m not [...]

Despite my sweet new iPod nano (courtesy of my sister and brother in law), I don’t think the UBahn riders of Vienna [...]

I’ve decided to force myself to type some shit with my new work laptop because the keyboard is fucking weird and I can’t get used to it. It’s got keys in weird places, sort of like the face goiters around here.

Now that’s what I’m talking about. From an email list I subscribe to:
You might have seen the signs at several bars and restaurants in Vienna, and the rest of wine producing Austria. In case you are wondering what Sturm actually is, read and learn! We all know that wine is made of grape juice. To [...]
