Day 6: Last day in Vienna
Today at a Glance:
- The toilets have ashtrays! You can do your business in the bathroom stall while you smoke.
- Each hotel room has an umbrella; I’m guessing that it’s because it rains a lot here (and it did during my stay.)
- The transit system is based on an honor system, as a lot of them are in Europe. A person sometimes checks for your tickets; if you can’t reproduce one, then you are fined about 10 times the price of a ticket - plus you are then forced to buy one.
- Went to Schönbrunn Palace
- There is a lot of Chinese influence in the palace, and this is noticeable in the paintings, ceramics, and the wallpaper.
- There’s a big meeting of international members of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Prague, I believe; I see them wherever I go around here.
Places I went to:
- Austrian Parliament Building
- Vienna State Opera
- Stephansdom
- Graben, Vienna
- Hofburg Imperial Palace
- What European trip is complete without a trip to McDonald’s?

LOL, the I’ve never seen anybody get fined, but I never knew most of the transit systems in europe were based on that type of enforcement, trust is a beautiful thing after all.
