@MatePetar1971 Hey Mike. Sure. Look me up in September if you find yourself in this part of the world. Although it's possible we could be on holiday then. All the best mate. J.

@lyslejc Doing well just changing careers from transport to IT. I will be in Europe in September and my partner and I are toying with a stopover in Vienna. Fancy a catch up?

Why do the western media refer exclusively to Ukrainian *refugees* but call people fleeing war and persecution in other parts of the world *migrants*? Words matter! #Fluechtlinge #Ukraine #racism

@MatePetar1971 Hey Mike. Vienna is cold and pretty miserable at this time of year, as I'm sure you can imagine. How are you doing?

@lucysween @BecArmitage Great article! One small thing - Slovakia not Slovenia belongs to the Visegrad group. Sorry to nitpick but it's important to Central Europeans...

Although I've lived in #Vienna for 20 years, there are some things I'll never understand. Why is there a rubbish bin on every street corner but no toilets in public parks... #expat #expatlife

In Majorca, a group of school students has been forcibly confined to a hotel for 10 days after being in close contact with the coronavirus. What's called illegal and kidnapping in Europe is routinely praised in Australia as protecting public health...#hotelquarantine #COVID19Aus

@chrisccummins Britain seems determined to become the European Australia. And I don't mean it's trying to improve its beaches, food & weather... But at least you haven't criminalised returning citizens. Yet.

I was born in the #UK and, aged 21, moved my life in another #EU country where I was received with kindness. #Brexit, which I opposed, was a democratic choice. OK. But this story makes me feel deeply ashamed. Where is the respect? theguardian.com/politics/2021/…

#Ottakring I love you. This is a place where people get along regardless of ethnicity, class or background. We don't want the empty rhetoric of the far right, their division and hate. Schleich euch! #w0805

#AndrewBolt says he is “ashamed” that the government is “making it a crime for Indian-Australians to come back home”. He says it “stinks of racism.” #auspol

The great #ChristaLudwig has sadly passed away. Many happy memories working with her in Zurich 20 years ago. Such a beautifully expressive voice - seductive and melancholy - thankfully captured for eternity on many wonderful recordings.

This is not a flag I expected to see flying in someone's front garden... Is there such a thing as EU nationalism? #FlagShaggers #nationalism
