Vienna Würstelstand's Jacob Moss says

Like everything in Vienna, spring takes its time and has its own specific way of doing things. Like a teenager struggling with puberty, spring is moody, unpredictable and blooms when it’s god damn ready. Here are the 15 stages of spring in Vienna: 1. The ‘false start’ stage 2. The ‘first shorts and t-shirt wearers are spotted on the streets’ stage 3. The ‘April, April, der macht was er will’ stage 4. The ‘sitting in a Schanigarten with blankets’ stage 5. The ‘getting dressed in the morning becomes very confusing’ stage 6. The ‘It’s tulip time! Flowers pop up all over the city over night’ stage 7. The ‘cherry blossoms bloom in waves of pink in parks across the city’ stage 8. The ‘Everybody is sneezing all over each other and their eyes look like they’ve been smoking the wacky tobacky’ stage 9. The ‘first bikini-clad and topless people in Burggarten and Augarten make you mutter under your breath – ‘Respect” stage 10. The ‘It rains…’ stage 11. The ‘everybody starts eating asparagus, and are talking about how their pee smells funny’ stage 12. The ‘more fucking rain…’ stage 13. The ‘Donaukanal awakes with the waterside beach bars starting to open up’ stage 14. The ‘bikini-clad and topless people in Burggarten and Augarten give you a cheeky grin as you mutter under your breath – ‘Oh yeah, summer has arrived’ stage 15. The ‘all of a sudden it’s summer and people are complaining about how hot it is’ stage Top Back to People & Stories
