#229 Things I Love and Hate About Austria | with Annabel Lubega from Vienna Würstelstand

Big thanks to Ottakringer, Vienna’s independent beer brand, for sponsoring this episode and supporting our independent podcast. Cheers! 🍻 Annabel Lubega is a content creator at Vienna Würstelstand. She was born in Austria, grew up in Singapore and Uganda, and moved back to Vienna three years ago. The culture shock hit her immediately. In this episode, she shares what she loves and hates about Austrian culture. Her hot takes include: Everyday racism in Austria: from inappropriate comments to people asking to touch her hair. Why is Wiener Grant treated as something to be proud of? Why is it so difficult to make friends in Austria? Why don’t Austrians greet each other? Why does nobody talk openly about money? Why do Austrians split the bill down to the last cent? What are the best Austrian phrases? And why is Brickerl so popular? Annabel also shares things she genuinely loves about Austria: Schwimmbad fries, the annual siren test and Arabella Kiesbauer.
