Overheard: Vienna

Tuesday, May 19, 2026


I recently visited Vienna - my fifth time there. As it was Eurovision Song Contest season, I kept my ears open and overheard the following.

  • The lighting is on point, the drinks are very good.

  • You can fly very cheaply, and you can stay at my place!

  • He's good on the bass i'n't he? He's got his own sound, yeah.

  • So many people find her empowering!

  • Every time I drink and try to study, it doesn't work.

  • I prefer the Danube because I'm a water person.

  • Rudolf was very sensitive and intellectual.

  • I need to charge my phone, and then I can relax.

  • You look so fucking disappointed!

  • It's a bangarangadrama!

  • When all that was going on, I stayed out of it.
