Vienna


Vienna is now a caricature of itself.
You can buy Klimt scarfs, T shirts, shoes, handbags in any shop
The entire city is also sponsored by an electronics giant
You are badgered in the streets to go to the daily Mozart or Strauss concerts by people dressed up in traditional costumes.
Vienna survives on the exploits of its ancestors, what has it produced today ?
The Disneyfication of Vienna, cultural tourism at its lowest
