A Call For Help

I am in a bit of a situation. I am still in Vienna and completely undecided as to where to go next. I will be going to meet Dzido in Warsaw, but I need to travel for a week or two before hand. I have narrowed it down to 2 possible routes:

1) The Baltic States
The Plan: Go through Poland up to the Baltic states of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia and then come back down to Poland.

The Pros:

• Exotic and relatively untouristy.
• These places are big with backpackers these days.
• I would get to see some old towns and be somewhere new.

The Cons:

• Traveling is hard.
• There are few easy ways to get between places and even then it takes hours to move a small distance.
• The language barrier is tough.
• It is DAMN cold there.

2) Germany

The Pros:

• Much less language barrier.
• Easy transport.
• Awsome country.

The Cons:

• I have been to Germany before.
• More expensive.

So that is my dilemma. I know that is is one that isn't really a serious one and that I will have fun in either one. And sure we could be spending our time trying to solve problems like Iraq or world hunger. But I am important too damn it! So post some thoughts!
