i went to the urgent care today and it was a reminder of the importance Austrian place in titles. Everyone was very keen on being called doctor etc. We took several trams and ubuans to get to the hospital and ended up at the university.I was not feeling well at all and this added to the feeling of helplessness in not understanding German and the cultural etiquettes.
Later I had a hot sausage and fanta from a vendor and the flavors were fantastic. The directions of the streets are so interesting, I'd like to see an aerial view. After we were all finished with the doctor we went to the royal treasury museum and i was shocked with all the regalia. everything had a symbol on it and a jewel. patterns and jewels galore. it was like all the stories Ive ever heard about kings was looking me in the face saying that these people actually had kings. I had never thought about how elaborate everything would be that a king would encounter.

Hope you are feeling better. Most of the germanic folks expect respect from young folks. Learn to say Heir, Frau and Fraulein correctly. Before asking for something, say "please", "bitte". A well placed, "excuse me please"...entschuldigen Sie mir bitte....is also helpful.
