Starbucks in Austria

Another thing I'd like to find out on my trip is if Starbucks coffee and other chain stores are as popular there as they are here. When I visited France, I noticed that around the city of Paris there was a particular grocery store I saw everywhere(I don't recall the name, but the logo had a strawberry on it).

I'll be sure to record the names of any popular chain stores in Vienna.

Lego in Austria...

I was talking with my friend who lives in Austria, and she said that Austria gets Lego sets later than we do in America. I found this interesting, because Austria is in Europe, and so is Denmark, one of the countries where Lego is made(and it's birthplace).

The US Department of State offers information on Austria

I've learned some interesting things about Austria from reading the information on The US Department of State website.
