strache here, strache there, strache everywhere. it’s annyoing, i know, and i really feel bad writing about the little trouble maker again, but there’s been some nice developments in the whole thing.

first, someone started putting up counter-ads all over vienna, some boring and simple, some actually quite funny. this one to the right (”vienna must not become carinthia”) was found by some friends of mine near the U1 praterstern, and if you look around, you can find many more.

also, my colleague seyda ozturk, the captain of the istanbul metroblog, put up a nice little story there about the whole thing - and she comes to the conclusion that istanbul has now become vienna.

it’s kind of funny, i think - i talked with some physicists, and they all agreed that the chances of one city either changing places with or spontaneously morphing into another city are low enough to make heisenberg turn in his grave should such a thing ever take place. also, while there are phobias against pretty much everything in the known universe, i couldn’t find any hints on a previous fear of city morphing. this can only lead me to the conclusion that mister strache knows something about the laws of time and space that we don’t. scary thought, actually.

oh, and by the way, with what must have probably been the first city-switch in the history of mankind now completed, i think we should take the whole deal one step further:
