While I'd like to say that I don't feel like a tourist in this city anymore and I'm more cultured now, I'm honestly still very much a tourist in Vienna and haven't picked up much in terms of culture.
I have, however, become more accepting and comfortable being a tourist here and I care less about trying to fit in as much as trying to enjoy the whole experience.
I can ride the U-Bahn comfortably without getting lost, I can throw out some off-hand facts about the architecture of the city, I can list my favorite museums, restaurants and bars...
I've made a lot of friends and enjoyed being somewhere new and radically different and just gone with the flow.
It hasn't always been good, but it has all been worth it and I would do it all over again. Maybe I will somewhere new next year...
It's been a blast and I'm going to miss it. But it's time to head home to the people I've missed while I was having fun.
Hopefully someday I come back and stay longer. Hopefully it's not the same experience when I do. It's always more fun when it's a mystery.
