The food song...

I'm hungry!!! I'm hungry!! Do something, reader!! I'm very very hungry!! And I just ate!! What's wrong with me???

Anyway, who cares about my stomach? I don't suppose you do, so I'll get to the point of this entry, which is to answer Betty's question: Have I noticed any difference in attitude to politeness and table manners between Austrians and French?

Well... I guess I don't really know about table manners, because I mostly eat alone in my bedroom (I'm a poor lonesome blogger)... But generally speaking, I must say it looks like it's pretty much the same thing, at least from what I've seen at the restaurant, or on the rare occasions when I ate with my roommates.

As for politeness, It's very close too. Generally speaking, I only had quite positive experiences, if one forgets the University Choir... I sat next to a girl, who subsequently got up, and went to sit at the other end of the room. But I guess she was a bit strange, and cannot be considered as a good example of the Austrian civility. You would tell me if I smelt, reader, wouldn't you?

My problem with cashiers at Billa I already told you about, and I now got the knack of it, I just shove everything back into my cart, and pack elsewhere. And I stopped pretending I was a well behaved person. Veeeeeery satisfying....

I remember these two example because they are exceptions, and mostly, people are really polite and friendly to me. I think it's exactly the same as in France. Except in France, we kiss, and here we shake hands. That took some getting used to, but I find it quite nice, actually, not to have to kiss people so often!!

Anyway... Thanks for commenting Betty!! I might have a new interview before tonight, if I'm lucky!! I hope you all enjoy your friday as much as I do!! It's so sunny!! And I'm free!! I guess I'll go out, and get myself something to eat... I'm soooo hungry!!!
