Misc. middle-European observations

- Is it just me, or did the Hapsburgs have the worst taste of any ruling family ever? Seriously, their entire approach to building design seems to be "hey, let's put some statues on, and also some eagles because eagles are cool, and some Corinthian columns even though there's nothing for them to hold up, and maybe a few fake hieroglyphs."

- One of the nice things about backpacker hostels is that nobody bats an eye if you fold your laundry in the bar.

- I do not speak German with any facility. But still less do I speak Slovak or Hungarian.

- I am never traveling without a smartphone again. How did I never know how useful these things are?
