For some reason, he decided on three separate occasions to blast the entire car with ridiculously loud music. The only explanation I can give for this behaviour, was that he found it amusing. When the time came to return to Vienna, his strange behaviour got even stranger. It was on the return trip that he played the third song. He said he had to play us some Austrian Folk music. One of my fellow passengers questioned, 'You have too?' He replied, yes, the tour company…”
