I saw them catch some stuff, but it seemed pretty small and, quite frankly, I don’t know if I’d want to eat anything coming out of the canal. Perhaps it’s not [...]

Originally uploaded by scottpartee

Adele understands the word “clap” without any visual cue. She can say “mama” and “dada” more or less appropriately, too.

I Love Landstraße

I Love Landstraße

Originally uploaded by scottpartee

I enjoyed living in Neubau, Vienna’s 7th Distict, very much. It’s got a charm and hipness to it, and the infrastructure is pretty much unrivaled. However, I’m really getting into Landstrasse (Vienna’s 3rd District) too. It’s got a more “real” edge to it, great infrastructure and [...]

Anyway, [...]

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 [...]

Seriously? For an iPhone

December 8th, 2007 · Comments

iPhone mania is hitting Vienna. The release of the unlocked version in France and Germany resulted in a bit of a gray market here in the Austrian capital. Retailers and individuals have been traveling to Germany and France, returning with unlocked iPhones (which somebody told me are selling nearly as well as the carrier-locked versions) [...]

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 .

Askew

November 7th, 2007 · Comments

A few month back, Halane and I were returning from one of the many baby doctor appointments we attended during this recent pregnancy. It was a hot, beautiful summer day. In fact, the photos are here(link coming). The doctor’s we chose, since we have private insurance, tend to be located where more people have private [...]

German Lesson for Today

October 28th, 2007 · Comments

I had a nice time trying out some of my recently Kindergarten-honed Deutsch with an Austrian friend last night, and he taught me really good thing to know.
You know how people often say, “I need my morning Latte”?
Also, do you know how to say it in German? It would be something like “Morgen [...]
