... op zich wel grappig, de prof stelde en paar vragen, maar het was verder ook gewoon een gesprek over Erasmus-uitwisseling in portugal en andere philosophische dilemma's.. Het naarste was, toen die uiteindelijk vroeg wat we van onszelf vonden.. Loser! De anderen vonden zichzelf wel 'gut', en ik dacht, weetje wat, ik doe even een staaltje inkommensurabilität: "ik vind mezelf een 7 waard!" "ehm... juist?" "juist ja!". Maar we kregen alledrie een 1! Goed heh!
Wien, Vienna, Austria eyre

Bin am 25.06.1970 geboren, ledig und von Beruf Lokführer. Vor meiner Zeit als Läufer war ich Turner und Schwimmer seit meinem 3 Lebensjahr. War auch jahrelang als Jugendbetreuer im Turnverein Münzkirchen tätig. Zum Laufen bin ich durch meinen Hund gekommen. Ich hatte keine Lust mehr mit im spazieren zu gehen und dadurch habe ich zum ...

The city of Vienna is absolutely breathtaking and, of course, you know how much I love the architecture! There's something about buildings that are several hundred years old that intrigue me... their stories, their energy, their mysteries! My Uncle works downtown and so he was the best tour guide anyone could possibly want! We parked at his work and walked.... and walked..... and walked! I think we were on our feet ...

... time or energy to try and cram it all into 3 days so will have to see what I get done. I know this blog hasnt been as detailed as in rpevious years but granny has put a bit of a downer on things and recounting funny happenings can happen when you see me in person. I did however buy GLUTEN FREE SACHERTORTE today from a konditorei woop wopp. More tomorrow or monday. xx

... find a locker where I could leave my baggege at the main station. So I decided the next destination was the last stop in Vienna. At that time, I was fed up with churches and so I skipped St. Stephen's Church, too, and I visited Stadtpark to see Johann Strauss. I took a picture of him and lay on the bench close to him, but I should have lain on the grasses just like Viennese did to sunbathe in the park. Anyway, that's all I did in Vienna.

... but they truly are a spawn of the devil. They clearly have realized that I caught on to their evil tactics and now I'm their priority target. The weather has finally gotten a little better in Vienna. Although the weeks are still riddled with rainy days, sometimes, the sun DOES shine here. On these sunny days, I like to sit outside on the shopping street near my school and eat my lunch. My lunch typically consists of a schnitzel sandwich or a ...

... to the embassy, I thought they would be really mean and perhaps not even let me in, but it turned out to be quite the opposite. They booked me some accommodation, lent me some money and helped me to contact Mum. By midday everything was sorted out, some money had been transferred and I went to collect it from the bank across the road. After that I went to Karskirche (St Charles Church) which was nearby. It was a beautiful building from the outside, white with a ...

Once again, I am thankful for our GPS and my ambulance driver! Driving here is crazy! We arrived late in the evening and our Hungarian-speaking hostess showed us to our very cozy room (narrow with uncomfortable twin beds... oh well, it was a deal). Despite the late hour, we decided to take a stroll through town. We stopped to enjoy the talents of some street entertainers and got a pretty ...

... balconies, and we were all standing squished up in the back of the nave, we couldn't see them. But that wasn't the final blow: the anticipated arrival of the Boys' choir wasn't until after mass was over, at which time they filed onto the steps leading to the altar, sang a beautiful 45 second a cappella piece, and then took a bow and filed out again. Now, for all I know they had been in the choir loft singing their little hearts out the entire ...

... of life here. We walked up to St. Stephen’s Cathedral, which unfortunately was heavily bombed during World War II. (St. Stephen’s sits right in the heart of Vienna, and with its tall spires and mosaic roof, is visible from any point around the city.) Today St. Stephen’s is one of the more famous cathedrals in the world. After seeing both St. Stephen’s Cathedral and the Salzburg Cathedral, both centuries old, it makes me realize ...
