Spotlight on the Strassenbahn

We want you to get to know a bit about something we do everyday - ride the Strassenbahn (say SHTRAHssen bawn). So the following pictures and descriptions show a little bit about what it's like. :) It's basically a streetcar - of which there are probably hundreds around Vienna going all day long on various routes. They run on electricity and there are usually two cars attached with one driver in the front. Smoking isn't allowed on them (good thing!), but eating and drinking is. You see and hear all kinds of people and can learn about the Austrian way of personal space, eye contact, right-of-way, etc. It's pretty fun if you have the right attitude! Hope you enjoy it!
