I have returned from a busman's holiday - a conference in Vienna. Here are some things I learnt.

First, Vienna General Hospital, which hosted the conference, is the largest in Europe. It has a supermarket, multiple cafes and even a Starbucks. It is easy to get lost there when you're looking for a conference room.

The hospital grounds have a statue of Sigmund Freud. Actually, there are lots of statues, because Vienna loves statues, but one of them represents Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis. Yes, I have a nerdy selfie with Sigmund, even though I'm not a big fan of many of his ideas.
