Its getting late here in the beautiful city of Vienna even though its not even 5pm back in the states. Our time here in this wonderful city is almost up and we only have one day left to explore and experience what its like to be in Vienna! I have learned so much about the history in not only Vienna but in Budapest as well and I cannot wait to see the other two citys we will visit although I will it here. I dont think that I would ever want to live in Budapest or Vienna but they are definatly places I would like to visit again.
The culture in Budapest and Vienna are so different in so many ways. Budapest has more laws towards womans rights than Vienna but I feel that Vienna is a much better work environment for women. After talking with Joanna who is attending the University of Vienna and studying law,she informed me that she didnt feel that she was personally discriminated against at all in school or in any of her jobs for being a woman working towards a leadership role. She felt that she was readily accepted and treated almost equal except for the pay. I found out that there are no equal pay laws in Vienna and that woman are usually paid less than 20% than men which is almost the same as the US even though we have labor laws against that.
I have so much more that I have learned and would love to share but its getting late and I'm exausted after all the walking around and exploring the city today, so I'm off to bed.
