Austria

When we flew to Bulgaria over Christmas we had a brief stop-over in Vienna. I have only passed thru Austria before (late 80's on the way south, and last decade on the way to Munich), and never really stayed. Which is probably why I had a view of Austria containing yodeling, people learning to play accordion in school, goulash soup and in general a sorta mini-Swiss/German but with a nicer manner. And with some dark secrets a la Fritzl. But going to the bathroom in Vienna airport changed all that. Toilet paper holder broken, the urine smell, no soap for washing hands. In general not a welcoming country. It really is the threshold to Eastern Europe. Now I know.

surely you can't judge a whole country based on the toilet in the airport? Then again, even third world countries have soap in the airport toilets so I guess its a pretty bad sign
