Wiener Schnitzel

Here I am in Vienna, Austria and I am once again pleasantlz surpriyed. Apparently Austrian keyboards switch the y and z because that does not look right. I think the last time I blogged I was in the Czech Republic and it was raining. I think after that we just went back to our hostel and slept. It was a waz nice hostel for how cheap it was and it was good to finallz have a decent night's sleep. The next day we went all around Prague and saw everything that we didn't see the day before. To me the coolest thing there was an enourmous monument on the top of the hill looking over the city. During the height of communist rule there stood a statue of Josef Stalin and then they burned it down and now the base remains covered in grafiti and delapidated. It is a beautiful city but a day and a half was plenty of time to cover it. We took a night train on Friday night to Krakow Poland and it was another sweet ride. Our roomies were two larger girls and an Asian lady and her daughter, all of them snored and the Asian lady made us shut the window and we seriously almost died of heat stroke.
We spent all daz Saturday in Poland. As soon as we got off the train we hopped on a bus to Auschwitz and looked around there for a few hours. It is always so sad to think how people could actually be so mean to other people and the reality of a concentration camp is the epitomy of hate cruelty. We went back to Krakow and saw the cathedrals and castles there and it was nice. We were kind of tired of walking around so we sat in the square and people watched for quite a while. We saw some good break dancers and some good pick pocketers. After all of the fun we got on another night train to Vienna.
This train ride was probably the most tame of all, we had two normal Polish girls and some old Slavic lady and her daughter. The Polish girls found out we were from Utah and then asked if we were mormons and so we talked to them about that for a minute, everyone here is so surpriyed when they find out that you're a mormon. Right when we got to Vienna we checked our stuff into a hostel and then caught a train to Bratislava, Slovakia. We spent most of the day and afternoon in Bratislava, it was alot like the Czech Republic except it was extremely hot today and we couldn't find cold waters anywhere. Needless to say that pretty much almost ruined our experience there. The rest of the evening we spent here in Vienna eating Wieners and looking at stuff. I wasn't expecting anzthing cool here but there is actually alot of sweet churches and buildings and a huge square with tons of street performers.
Tomorrow we'll be headed out to Budapest, Hungary. I'm still loving it and I think the funnest part is going to a new city, not knowing what to expect there and then finding out when you walk around it for a while. I've decided that there is no reason for anyone to spend more that one day in any European city, unless your doing some kind of historical research then you can reasonably spend two days. Also the food has been great everywhere except for that it is expensive no matter where or what you eat. Every stinking meal costs ten dollars. We have been trying to eat authentic foods and that is one of the best parts of the trip I'd say. It is also extremely entertaining trying to learn Czech and Polish and Slovakian. They all use the roman alphabet but they are Slavic languages and are pretty similar to Russian so we slowly start to pick things up. I think when I get home it will be a hobby of mine to learn other Slavic languages. That's all for now, sorry I don't have a way to transfer pictures. Blogs really stink without them and I would not read this if I were you until there was some pictures on it.
