Believe What You've Heard About Eastern Europe
Europe » Austria » Styria » Graz
Servus! I'm writing right now on Thursday at about 4 o'clock from an internet cafe. WHAT A FREAKIN' TRIP IT'S BEEN! Eastern Europe is trying to kill me, that's the long and short of it. The flight went well, took off from Boston about 45 minutes late but that was no biggie. Actually took off from the same terminal that I left from to go to Spain, which was kinda funny. The flight was standard, though, lots of study abroad kids, mostly on their way to Spain, though. Watched Made of Honor which was actually surprisingly entertaining. Sorrz if there are [View Full Entry]
Two quick things: I don't recommend calling me, as it's wicked expensive, but here's the number of "mein Handy" (my cell phone): (0043)(0)676 313 4128 Looks like a bad math problem to me. Second thing: HAPPY 23RD BIRTHDAY, HILLARY!!!! [View Full Entry]

Hello! I'm back in Austria and cannot believe it. Die letzten 6 Monate sind einfach viel zu schnell vergangen!!! Kann es gar nicht glauben. In den 3 Wochen in Neuseeland haben einen Gletscher bestiegen, sind auf einem Vulkan (den aktivsten in Neuseeland) spazieren gegangen, waren am Strand reiten... Einfach toll. Der Heimflug war nicht so schlimm wie der Hinflug. Konnte sogar etwas schlafen. Tja und jetzt bin ich seit einer Woche wieder zu hause und möcht am liebsten noch in Australien sein... In Kürze werde ich ein best of Album mit den schönsten Fotos von Australien und Ne [View Full Entry]

The hotel where Ferd works is 2½ hours away but he had very kindly decided to take the week off to show us around his home town, so after a breakfast of sliced meats, bread, cheese and coffee, we headed out. First port of call was the airport where we picked up our wayward bags and then out to a small lake at Teichalm for a short wander around and a look at the big bull. This area is called Almenland and is famous for it’s beef due to the grasses and herbs that the cattle feed on which are big, [View Full Entry]

Well, It has been a while since we last blogged! We have been travelling between Graz and Salzburg a lot this last month organising visas, houses, Austrian insurance, German translations, applying for grants and undertaking a 2 week German course. Im very happy to tell you all that I now have a visa, a house in Salzburg, appropriate documents to live in Austria, and my German is slightly better, however no grants as yet! We climbed the Schlossberg in Graz about 3 weeks ago. It is a hill in the centre of graz with a massive clock on top. It is [View Full Entry]

Our last breakfast and we bid da svidaniya to everybody heading out for the day as we were catching a taxi to the airport at 11.30. We exchanged emails and suggested a reunion on our way back from Europe maybe if we fly by Melbourne on our way home. Altogether we have all got on well and it has been an enjoyable trip with a great bunch of Aussies - thanks guys. We booked our taxi so we would have plenty of time to spare, just as well because it was not fast going through security. No worries though and we [View Full Entry]

Hallo zu jedem von Österreich! I have now been here almost for 24 hours. I have already managed to figure out the Strassenbahn on my own (it helps that they are the same everywhere), eat Schokalade Eis, make tons of friends, and speak a lot of German! I forgot how much I loved the language and the people. My journey to Graz lasted about 32 hours - which is the longest I have ever gone without sleep! It began in Phoenix, then to Cleveland, then to Paris to Vienna to Graz. Paris was interesting. France isn't really my thing but I [View Full Entry]

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]
