i just landed here from 1 week in germany via the super efficient vienna airport and of course, I can write this post directly from the airport while I am waiting for my suitcase because, after 45 minutes, there is still no sign of it and 3 people from cirque du soleil have just turned on their music and they are starting to dance right here in the waiting hall while we are all waiting (patiently?) on italian time. of course…
