With a massive sigh of some sort of sadness but no regret, I'm going with my gut and passing on Cairo. But! Being the travel-hungry girl that I am, I've already booked a ticket and room elsewhere. This city could not be further from Cairo in culture, climate, and cuisine.
I've decided to try something new here. I'm going to have a contest. Guess where I'm off to next, and you could win an original sketch from my little adventure. When I think of this city, I inevitably see images of violins, harpsichords, and powdered wigs in my mind. I've somehow never been to this fine nation, though I've been to five of the seven countries which surround it— two of which I have blogged about on Harika. I'll be needing a very warm coat, a hat, a scarf and gloves, as November there is quite cold. Thankfully, the plane ride is merely a hop from Istanbul.
If you can correctly guess the city where I am headed to in about two weeks, comment on this post with your answer and I'll put your name in one of my stylish hats, along with the names of other correct guessers. On November 9th, I'll draw the winner's name.
Good luck!

Vienna?
I'd also say Vienna/Wien - and don't forget to eat a lot of cake! :)
Well it has to be Vienna I would think
That's my guess, too, but if not Vienna, perhaps Salzburg?
I'm totally wrong, but I'll say Hamburg. Because you should go there sometime.
Vienna - that's where some of the greatest composers in history did some of their finest work (Haydn, Beethoven, Mozart).
I'm going with Vienna....
It is good that you go with your guts, that´s the only way to go! I´m guessing Vienna as well, and I am wishing you a great journey where ever you go to.
Have a nice time in Vienna.
You're going to have to give away a whole sketchbook at this rate;-)
Unless you're going to Prague...
my initial guess would be Vienna or Salzburg but maybe Dresden?
Although . . . I think Austria is bordered by eight countries, not seven.
Vienna, but Bonn might be another option (as Beethoven was born there)?
I'll say Salzburg, birthplace of both Mozart and Mozartkugeln.
My immediate thought was Vienna, and when I looked at the rest of the comments I had to laugh. But yes, I will still say Vienna. All I can picture is Mozart and powdered wigged ladies laden with silks and pearls.
Vienna is my first thought...
Keep your answers coming!
I also think Vienna. Have a really nice trip :)
Oh i understood wrong.. I'm guessing again (: Prague or Warsaw?
Have fun in Vienna. The hot chocolate is supposed to be good.
I'm thinking. . . Vienna?
I'm thinking. . .could it be. . .Vienna?
I wanted to add that even if you aren't going directly to Salzburg, you should try to make a side trip there. The salt mines amazed an eight-year-old me.
Vienna. Enjoy those little sausages.
I’m gonna go with Vienna as well. Have a blast!
Everybody agree with Austria.(7 big coutries in the boder although it is easy to forget little Liechtestein, that would make 8)
I will say Viena too.
Haha— all I had to say was violins and powdered wigs! Haha
my first thought was Austria/Vienna or Salzburg (8 bordering countries w/ LIchenstein) but Poland has 7 countries around too.... Good luck anywhere you go! I enjoy your blog very much.
First thought : Vienna (but 8 bordering countries) or Budapest (Hungary) good luck anywhere you go.
Vienna!!! I LONG to go there some day!
Krakow?
