Howdy folks, heres a few things we have been up to lately. The Euro Masters soccer tournament was held mainly in Austria this year so we got into the football fever, as did most of the country. Unfortunately there were no games held in Graz but we got to watch the games at FanZones in the city centre and at pubs etc. But Austria didn't win any of their 3 matches and drew 1 game (against Poland) so they are no longer in the competition as its finals time now. Their final match was against Germany and it was going off, [View Full Entry]
The sudden end of a long journey After more wonderful things in New York - Shopping, Cocktails, Helicopter ride, Sunset cruise - and some culture - little italy, chinatown, gugggenheim museum, Museum of Modern Art - we finally took the flight back to europe. After another changed flight, due to delay of the oversea flight, we landed happily in Munich, where my parents cheerfully greeted us with an austrian flag! So we are back HOME! [View Full Entry]
All we want to do is our stupid washing and we cant. We have been back in Graz for 2 weeks, used up every single item of clothing we own and cannot get the key to the laundry from the neighbour in the next building, to finally do our washing. We have to go to the next building, give them 30cents, we get a special coin and a key, then go to our top floor and use the washing machines up there. So we thought we had organised a time to meet the lady (through a totally german conversation) which was [View Full Entry]
We got our silver, thin coins from a lady who smelt like cats and went up to the laundry. There was no where for these precious coins to fit at all no matter how hard we rammed them into random 220V sockets so we chucked our stuff into the machines and hit the start button and it started so we were happy with that and kept our coins to give to the many beggers about town. We were super impressed by the middle of the three front loading washing machines as it was so much bigger than the other two we [View Full Entry]

Back in my hood, chillin wit my home boyz, I found myself a sweet pad and moved in 3 dayz ago. My house is great and my room is really nice, I have the best view ever.

Registered with the town today and joined an Austrian bank which, as a student, involves no fee's for ANYTHING. sweet mate. Thats about the only exiting thing that has happened to Graz in the last [View Full Entry]
Hi dudes, We took a train from Vienna the day after Jess' dance audition, to Graz. It was a very beautiful train ride, lasting about 3 hours and went mainly through mountains and valleys. It was a sunny day but the mountains in the distance had snow covering their peaks. The countryside was how you would imagine old Austria to be, pity Graz isnt. Our first impressions of Graz was that it was Austria's version of Ballarat and it took us a few days to start liking it. The uni (Jazz department) where I will be studying is an extremely boring [View Full Entry]
So zurzeit bin ich noch dabei, die Reise zu fixieren! Ich warte ebenso gespannt auf die elektronischen Tickets! Hier mal eine aktuelle Zusammenfassung der Reise: Am 11.Juli wird einmal von München aus mit Qatar Airways Richtung Doha geflogen.

Nach dem erfüllten Flugurlaub beschloß ich nach Hause zu fahren. Schlechtes Wetter war angesagt - abe was bedeutet das in Serre ( halt keine 500 km sondern nur 200 km ) und mir reichte es von Fliegen. Ich bin über die Gorge de Verdon gleich nach Tobelbad gefahren. [View Full Entry]
Dei Wetterprognose ist nicht allzu überzeugend, den 1000er LOWG - LFTM anzusagen. Zumindest das Flugzeug ist bereit und die Technik funktioniert [View Full Entry]
