Ponder, ponder

So, I ordered the Lonely Planet city guides for Vienna and Budapest a few days ago. They arrived today (I was pretty shocked, actually.)

Reading through the Vienna book makes me wonder if I'd rather go there for a month than Berlin, regardless of whether I can afford it. It's strange. I love Berlin, all the Cold War relics, and the Hohenzollern stuff and the former Prussia and everything. But since I introduced the idea of going to Vienna instead, my brain's tending in that direction. I admit to a rather romantic notion of Vienna, with the coffee houses and Opera and Habsburg relics.

I'm torn.

Sadly, I'm extremely biased in my opinion and can't offer any credible educational reasons for going to Vienna, besides, OMFG Vienna! Klimt! Vienna! And so on.

Goethe sounds very well-regarded, and, well, I suppose you could try to go to Vienna and really devote yourself to vacationing a few years down the road...

...but OMFG! Vienna! ;o;
