Got to meet some more people today, and then went back to Vienna in the evening. It was the same driver as last time, with the same insane driving. After meeting Kara at the apartment we rented out (so much bigger and nicer than a hotel for half the cost!) we took the tram to the city center and walked around some. Unfortunately all the museums close around 6pm, and the stores shortly there after, so there wasn't a lot to see and do beyond that.
However I was finally able to get some "real" pizza. In Paris there are pizza places, but finding a simple pepperoni+cheese slice isn't trivial and it just tastes and looks kind of different. And most bizarrely at all isn't sliced, you eat it with a fork and knife. But here they have giant thin slices you eat with your hands from a take-away food place. It's marvellous. In fact, that there actually are plentiful and cheap (aka normal US priced) street food is pretty amazing after living in Paris the last month. That's been one of the more disappointing things about central Paris is how hard it is to find cheap-ish food, since there's lots of cafes where you can drop 20€ on a main course, but even the crepes are 5-7€. Here a slice of pizza is 3€, a kebab box is 3.50€. It's great!
