Experiential Blog #3 Vienna

I expected the buildings in Vienna to be very classical, older and smaller. I expected a very quiet city with a limited amount of quiet people. I got something totally different, what I saw were very narrow connected building that were very tall and lots of them block after block. There were tones of people and from my experience it was not the quietest city. I was disappointed that most of the interactions I had with the locals in Vienna were very short and rude, I believe this to have been caused by the language barrier but it is hard to tell. The landscapes were not exactly what I expected either. I expected much more greenery and small relaxing areas with public seating. It's possible we were simply in the wrong part of the city but there was very little decoration with greenery and very little public seating if at all. Although this posting sounds negative I had an excellent time in Vienna because of all the things to do for entertainment such as st. Stephens spire view, many places to shop and buy souvenirs, and best of all the food is fantastic every where you go.
