Welcome to YUROP
The Ultimate Eurozone of Culture, Chaos, and Continental Excellence
A glorious gathering place to celebrate (and lovingly roast) the lands, peoples, quirks, and contradictions of Her Most Magnificent Europa. From the fjords to the Med, the steppes to the Atlantic spray, this is a shrine to everything that makes Europe gloriously weird, wonderfully diverse, and occasionally passive-aggressive in 24 languages.
Here we toast:
πͺπΊ The progressive Union of Peace (and paperwork)
π§ The freest of health care
π· The finest of foods
π³οΈβπ The liberalest of liberties
π The proud non-members and honorary cousins
πΆ And the eternal dance of unity, confusion, and cultural banter.
Post memes, news, satire, linguistic wars, train maps, cursed food photos, Eurovision fever, propaganda and whatever makes you scream βonly in YUROP.β
Leave your stereotypes at the border control and enjoy the ride.

I think most people here just view AH as a fact of history and don't have many grudges against you in the modern day. Some people tend to be a bit jealous of Austria being 'richer' than us today, but honestly I think that's a stupid thing for them to care about. I think the language difference is unfortunately quite a barrier for most Czechs to have any sort of closer relationship to/understanding of you all (this may well change with younger people speaking English obv)
I do agree. The monarchy is back long enough that it is fading into the background. However, in Bratislava they are larping Habsburger coronations every year, but Slovaks are different in some ways ;)
jk I have never experienced a problem getting around in Czechia but I have been mostly Moravia close to the border or in cities like Brno or Praha. Young people can usually speak English well enough to make themselves understood on both sides of the border I think but maybe that's my bubble.
True. Also, I don't think most Czechs realize how many Czech surnames there are in Vienna lol
Oldie but on the topic, Georg Kreisler's "Telefonbuchpolka" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6IzN02CMYA&list=RD-6IzN02CMYA&start_radio=1
;)
Hahaha π His pronounciation is surprisingly good
He does sing the whole song in what I assume is a noticeable Czech German accent. This accent has pretty much vanished from Vienna's streets I think. Those families who used to be called "Behm" are now the true Viennese and they are calling now people with Serbo-Croatian accents names ... ok, that's a generalisation but the irony is there nonetheless.
