ZAGREB, VIENNA (February 7, 2014)
I just spotted two women in their mid-twenties walking in front of me. One of them immediately struck me as oddly dressed. When I looked a bit more closely, she had a blue woolen hat, a brown jacket, an ocher skirt, dark brown tights, and black socks sticking out of her yellowish shoes. She must be a foreigner, I concluded. Then I noticed that she had an awkward bag with the University of Vienna insignia printed across it. When I overtook the two women, they were talking to each other in German. To the best of my knowledge, they spoke in an Austrian accent. Indeed, no woman roughly that age living in Zagreb would be caught dressed like that. Not a single one. Vienna is in the provinces now, anyhow.
