This is the Karlskirche - an awesome, stunning and magnificent church in Vienna. Standing directly in front of it is a humbling and, sorry, going to use the same word again, magnificent experience. Vienna's magnificence took my breath away, again and again and again. And how very civilised they all are. Cyclists absolutely everywhere, not a single one of them ploughing through a red light, not one attempted pedestrian annihilation. It all only served to remind me - we really have become a barbaric and uncivilised lot here. Younger English males have allowed themselves to become brutally misogynistic. The contrast between Viennese society and our own still laddish lot was fairly stark. i think i'll go away and spend some more time fantasying about pulling myself one of those good looking (and my god, there was a more than abundant supply of these) intelligent and ever so sophist' Viennese male to flirt and fawn over in their stunning city.(as i commented to Chap Sticks on his blog, he was recounting his weekends all really rather civilised tale. I contrasted it with my own:
bumping into an ex' at the supermarket and being informed that he's still up for a jump.
so just not the same
