Tourist tip of the day: Get your favourite meme in german while in vienna:

https://www.spreadshirt.at/shop/home-living/tassen-becher/das+haben+wir+schon+immer+so+gemacht/

The full german triptych is:

Das haben wir schon immer so gemacht  - We have always done it this way
Das haben wir noch nie anders gemacht - We have never done it differently
Da koennte ja jeder kommen            - Who are you (to propose change) ?
