Days 20 & 21, Vienna: The U.N. is Bullshit, or, I'll Come Back When I'm Retired

Vienna looks like a lovely city, brimming with museums, opera houses, theatre and art.

I take advantage of all this high culture by sleeping 12 hours a day, blogging in my hostel, and occasionally running across the street for wiener schnitzel.

Sustenance.

I'll come back when I'm retired.

The only remotely fascinating thing to report about my stay in Vienna is that I meet a United Nations peacekeeper on holiday. An Australian stationed in Dubai, if I'm not mistaken. After discussing geopolitics for only a few moments, he informs me with great certitude that "the UN is bullshit," and that he would like nothing more than to see it completely dissolved so the world can get on with its life.

I guess he's not looking to climb the ranks.

I'm not quite sure how to respond, so I just say that Kim Jong Il and Hugo Chavez are two crazy motherfuckers, and that when China takes over the world we're all fucked. He agrees.

Here are a couple more remotely fascinating things I observe in Vienna:

Haven't I seen you somewhere before?


Off to Budapest.
