In Vienna now.
Tai Chi in Crotia was fun, though on rocky, uneven coastal ground which made things awkward.
I paid 3 euros for standing seats to the opera. Impressive building, that's for sure. I stood for two hours (which was just the first act) listening to Wagner played by probably some of the best musicians in Europe. My interest in classical music has waned a bit over the past few years but this still blew me away.
Yesterday we saw that new Wolverine movie. It was weird and interesting to directly experiance globalization like that. Also what's been fun is trying to figure out the posters for Austria's upcoming election. This country's recent political history is pretty sketchy, with parties in control which have a facist whiff to them.
There is a lot of graffiti here speaking out against racism, which is sweet. I'm a huge fan of graffiti, though only the more artistic or political ones. Eastern Europe has been very exciting for that, especially here and Croatia. Trying to be a sharper observer of the cultures than I was last time has really made me think even more than usual about hierarchies and capitalism. It's nice to see such vocal resistance here.
Northbound next.

Got your telephone message. Thanks, you pushed me to up my daily pushup quota by thirty. I'll be needing some more of that when you're gone permanently. It definitely is not the same without you.
