The kid is handling the concert cancellation way better than I thought she would. She cried her heart out last night but today she is normal. She is disappointed she said but better than being in stadium if a terrorist attack happens. I am amazed by how well she has taken this and so proud of her. I owe her this concert- luckily lot more options later this year in USA so maybe something might work out.

[Taylor Swift Vienna concerts cancelled after attack threat – BBC News](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce31zxqypxpo.amp)
We were heading to Vienna this weekend to cap out our trip with a Taylor swift concert that was supposed to be my kid’s bday gift. She had been waiting for ages for this. We are so devastated right now I am just looking for flights back right away without even going to Vienna at this point :(. Fuck ISIS and fuck these terrorists. I hope they die and rot in hell.
Early call to retire tonight. Exhaustion has set in. Honestly can’t wait to be home at this point.
Here’s a tip for you if you are traveling anywhere:
1. Always ask an Asian to take your photo for you. They go out of their way to get the best photos and are super happy to take photos of you. Of course please return the favor to them.
2. If you need any help, find a person with American accent. Americans are the most helpful and cheerful people you will meet on travel and will readily share what they know and will help you out. They are the easiest to strike a conversation with and will be happy to chat with you nonstop.
3. Just avoid everyone else. Honestly, don’t bother.
Europe really needs to create “smoking zones” which is a common thing in the USA. Even at fucking 11000 ft people just couldn’t stop lighting up all around. Instead of fresh air we got a good dose of different vapes and cigarette smoke lol.
What a remarkable difference between locals at Grindelwald vs Zermatt. People at Zermatt are so much nicer, polite and helpful. Just the overall vibe of locals out here is so different and welcoming. Loving this town so much!
One of the best things we did this trip is to force ourselves to onebag. This has come in so handy in Switzerland it’s unbelievable.
Heading to Zermatt today. This involves 3 train changes and a bus ride because of a broken track somewhere. While the swill railways are beyond world class there is no way I won’t rent a car if we ever redo this trip again or recommend to others. This 3-4 changes for 3 hour journey are just …. Ridic.
We had great fun riding the bike down the hillside from gtindelwald first. So much fun and so thrilling!
Jungfraujoch is like Niagra of Switzerland I guess, in sense that the only people who seem to visit the “top of Europe” are Indians and Asians 😆
