Graz, Austria

[andreyb]

Hello Loungers,

I've just moved to Graz, Austria.

Any tips (both sartorial and on elegant living in general) would be much appreciated.

So far my "elegant living in Graz" book has just one phrase: "get a railway ticket to Vienna". This is fine for new bespoke commissions -- but one definitely needs a local dry cleaner, alterations / repair shop, etc. Not to speak on gastronomy, wine and other fine things in life.

Any Grazians reading this?

I'm very jealous !

Graz looks truly lovely - and 6 universities ?

Isn't there a duelling society you could join ?

It's a very nice little city, indeed -- but a little city netherveless. I lived in a big city all my life, and even though some people say my home city is not that good (bah! what do they know?!), it's not easy for me without that invisible feeling of living in a metropolis...

Yuk! Should I?

Budapest...

Budapest...

Do I smell a pair of budapesters in the air?

One very elegant friend (with very narrow feet...) once told me to buy english shoes -- and that's what I do ever since!

This E Green retailer stocks only "F" fittings because Italians have very wide feet.

I was thinking more of Budapest as opposed to Wien, not for shoes, but for enjoying city sights.

Cheers

A good excuse to visit Brescia, which is not that far from Graz!

Thanks for the tip!
