In order to become better acquainted with Vienna we have been encouraged to get "lost" daily. On my first day I knew I needed to get 'lost' in Karmelitermarkt, the Jewish and Turkish influenced market in the Leopoldstadt district of Vienna. I got on the UBahn and let myself out at Taborstraße, wandering and hoping to find something good and vegetarian to eat. It was 5:30 pm and I knew it closed at 6:00 so I knew I had little time. I looked at the street names and tried to match them on my map like the classic tourist until I finally found my bearings. I walked in the general direction. Soon I found the market and bought die Eier, frische Gemüse, und Obst.
I wandered into a sandwich shop and ordered a Falafel im bis. The Jewish shop owner from Uzbekistan was excited to meet an Californian. However nothing could compare to his enthusiasm over a wedding. He asked me if I knew Chelsea. I was not sure who he was talking about until he showed me the article in the paper. Ich weiß etwas über Chelsea, Mr. President Bill Clinton's daughter (because I only have an idea of her). This Jewish man was celebrating Ms. Clinton's marriage to a fellow Jew, Marc Mezvinsky, as if this was a victory for Judaism. I wonder if he is privy to Friedrich III's motto,
"Let others wage wars, let you, happy Austrians, marry."
