What is this?
Hi, my name is Tom Lazar and I'm a Plone and Zope developer based in Berlin, Germany and this is my personal and professional (no big difference, really...) website.
 

Comparing Vienna to Berlin

Filed Under:

Notes from taking a four hour walk

  • people are more polite
  • trains run smoother and more quietly (and are cheaper)
  • Sunday seems to be taken way more seriously here
  • people seem to take more care about the way they look (or perhaps that's a byproduct of Sunday being taken seriously)
  • as mentioned elsewhere, Vienna is noticably more expensive
  • free wifi seems to present no problem ;-)

Aside from these Vienna specific observations there's the more personal one that I've simply become too damn old to perform well with only two hours of sleep under my belt. It's now 4:45 pm and if I were a car, I'd be running on fumes... at 7 p.m. we'll head over to the opening session at a nearby restaurant. Then I'll either get revitalized by some Goesser or hopefully be able to crash early at our hosts place...
