Okay a weird comparison I know, but I make an effort to compare Vienna to every place that I go. Since I just got back from Puerto Rico, because god knows I had to escape this weather a bit, here goes:
Pros for Puerto Rico
Beautiful beaches
Warm weather
Ocean
Coffee to make a Viennese weep with pleasure
Cake to make a Viennese weep with pleasure
Salsa
Rainforest
Cons for Puerto Rico
Horrible traffic (worse than L.A.)
Horrible roads
People as cranky as the Viennese (it’s a tropical island, I don’t get it either)
Fatty food that didn’t taste good
Pros for Vienna
Beautiful city
Good food overall
Good roads
Ball season
The waltz
Public transportation
Cons for Vienna
Currently cold, horrible weather
No ocean!
No beach!
Superb post on Puerto Rico vs. Vienna | Op-Expat – and nifty domain by the way!
