We spent a very hot five days in Vienna last week. On Thursday, we went the Stiegl Ambulanz in the Altes Krankenhaus (AKH) to meet some friends. A nice evening in a huge courtyard, under the trees, away from traffic noise, but right in the middle of the city.
As the name suggests, they serve Stiegl beer, a nice bräu that actually comes out of Salzburg. Stiegl uses the colors red and white on everything, and they did a really, really nice job on their coasters!
I’ve lived in Munich, Germany for over five years. And I must say, it is a privilege to be able to live in Germany, and Munich is one of the nicest, most livable places on Earth.
But for some reason, living in a foreign country triggers the odd feeling of patriotism from time to time. Lots of ex-pats have told me that they have the same feelings. It’s probably just some form of home-sickness.
