"Nobody will help you get nervous"

I returned to Vienna a few days ago after a more than a month away in Oman and some days in Al Ain and I wish I could have just stayed there. Shopping for groceries this morning in Vienna was more stress and more unpleasant interactions than one entire month in the Arabian Gulf had in it for me.

A sentence I heard that describes the environment very well is "Nobody will help you get nervous here". And, yes, nobody will. If you want to get nervous in Oman, you will need to take the car to Dubai.

Anyhow, on Monday I will be starting my new, non law firm job. My bicycle route to work is the longest and most beautiful one I have ever had, through a long alley in Vienna's biggest park, then along the Danube.
