We went to school this morning and classes were even better than yesterday. During our first break I explored the main school building with Ashley. For supposedly being a gifted school they donrsquot seem to have too much technology in their classrooms. It was strange. For lunc http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Austria/Vorarlberg/Bregenz/blog-297128.html Today was our first day of classes I woke up feeling a little exhausted considering I wasnrsquot able to fall asleep until 3am. Our first class was AL 400 it is our art and history class. We went over the history of Austria beginning around 1560 to just before the start of WWII. It moved very fast but was still really interesting. I am the only one in the program with history in my major http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Austria/Vorarlberg/Bregenz/blog-296517.html The flight to Zurich from Chicago was long and boring. I sat next to a man who was going to vacation in Zurich for two weeks with a friend from his undergrad we didnrsquot really talk all that much. When I got off the plane I followed the crowd of people towards baggage claim but the farther into the airport we went the more terrified I became Once I got all my luggage together I went thro http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Austria/Vorarlberg/Bregenz/blog-296203.html Today I went to Bregenz Austria. I saw the Bodensee Switzerland and THE ALPS http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Austria/Vorarlberg/Bregenz/blog-277310.html Joint graduate school meeting in KleinwalsertalHaving looked here at trabelblog.org for an entry for this wonderful place and not finding one was quite surprising Because this place really deserves to be seen. Therefore the intetion was to describe some of the highlights of the trip. Getting there The trip from Muenster by train has been a really lengthy one. Strarting at around 730 in the morn http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Austria/Vorarlberg/Kleinwalsertal/blog-259952.html Well lots of changes happening around here. I am sorry it has taken me so long to catch up on the last month or so. I have accepted an internship offer with Accenture and will be moving to Karlsruhe in the next couple of weeks. Karlsruhe is in the SW of Germany inbetween Stuttgart and Mannheim. It is a fantastic internship and I am looking forward to beginning it and also doing some work travel a http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Austria/Vorarlberg/Lech-am-Arlberg/blog-235855.html When we arrive in Feldkirch Austria we get on the intercity train for Innsbruck. The train ride is very scenic as we go by the highest mountains of our trip. There is a group of 8 retired Germans from Baden Wuerttemburg in our car. As we approach Innsbruck the leader of the group gets out his map and cell phone in order to locatecontact their hotel. He has no luck on either front. He has been http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Austria/Vorarlberg/blog-176358.html This mountain is located in the region called Bregenzerwald where we already spent some winter holidays. We've always wanted to climb this mountain and tried once in autumn but there was too much snow. This year there is so little snow that we were able to hike up with just about 20 centimetres of snow. We took the snowshoes with us in vain. It wasn't necessary to wear them during the whole trip http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Austria/Vorarlberg/blog-114733.html I was in two minds as to whether to add a blog entry for a skiing trip. After all skiing isn't Travel in a purist's sense it's Holiday. And Austria didnrsquot seem to be exactly exotic at least from a Britrsquos point of view. On the other hand for nonUKbased folks and for UKbased nonskiers the photos at least might be of passing interest. In any event by popular demand my s http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Austria/Vorarlberg/Lech-am-Arlberg/blog-54144.html Aug. 24n sikeresen megvdtem doktori rtekezsemet majd elutaztunk Riezlernbe.
