...Austrian-born, New York-based accessories designer Devi Kroell, Vienna is a city that stirs up conflicting emotions. "This is the city that has always mixed artistic genius with the gemütlichkeit it is so renowned for: the Viennese mentality is one of questioning and suspicion, scandals and revelations, all mixed in the cozy atmosphere of its legendary cafés." Here are Kroell's favorite cafés and shopping destinations that she visits on trips home to see family and friends...
...rklstetter, the Mavida [an error occurred while processing this directive] comprises 47 sparse but tasteful rooms, each with open granite showers, private balconies and widescreen views of the Alps.

Attractive as many of them are, the parks are generally located a long way from anywhere, take at least a day to "do," and can cost a prince's purse for tickets, meals and a room at the inn. The Krofft brothers' answer: bring the theme park downtown...
...feeling of Gemütlichkeit began to evaporate when West German youths engaged their East German counterparts in political discussions. Among the FDJ "youth" were more than a few East Germans in their 30s and 40s with the thick necks and receding hairlines of state security men. As West German Socialist youth Leader Wolfgang Roth began to speak on inter-European cooperation, his speech was drowned out by FDJ troublemakers. But at week's end the exuberance of youth seemed to overcome ideology, and Communists and Socialists mingled congenially-at least for the moment...
