In Vienna there aren't many buildings more than 4 or 5 stories, because they want to keep the Stephansdom the highest thing. So all these must be across the river, in the new and upcoming Vienna DC (Danube City).<br />

Their brochure says, "tours, mon - fri" but according to the mean lady that works there, that means "mon - thurs"...<br />
<br />
Maybe we'll try again some this week, maybe not. Who knows?<br />
<br />
I have decided, among many other small, but frustrating details, that someone did not think our trip through when they were planning everything. Check out time for the dorm is 10am. Our flight leaves at 6:45, which means we have to get on the train around 2:45am. There was a 50 euro key deposit that no one told us about, so on the way to the airport, I'll get a 50 euro bill back...<br />
<br />
But what good is complaining? This trip was worth whatever inconveniences it comes with. Not to mention that it's <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">not</span></b> 112, or whatever it is back home! I'd take 50F and raining over a heat-pocalypse any day!Katya Rebmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04160066504341765947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488299800012017625.post-21674495338043405912011-07-22T03:14:00.000-07:002011-07-22T03:14:19.080-07:00One Week To GoToday in class we learned about the Jugendstil and Art Nouveau. It was a big cultural shift in Austrian culture during the Turn-of-the-Century, and apparently is newly "retro-vogue"<br />
<br />
Frankly it's still the style of stuff that Grandma had in her house... But that means it was already out-dated when she had that stuff... (Not that there's anything <i>wrong</i> with that...)<br />

But it went on for nearly two hours.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">Saturday night I went<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"> salsa dancing</span></b>. A seven-foot Bulgarian taught me to salsa. It was a lot of fun, but it was super-crowded, and I had a nasty incident with another high-heel, and we ended up going home early.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">So Sunday, I didn’t do much because it was swollen, but nothing’s open anyway. In the evening, we went to the music festival and watched opera fantasia-style. The others weren’t so interested, because it was weird, and even though it was in English, we couldn’t understand a word.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">So actually, I spent last night listening to Gina, Asya and Angela argue – which is quite entertaining. Angela speaks Bulgarian and Gina and Asya are Macedonian, but the languages are so close that they still understand each other.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Ece taught us the Turkish word for hiccups, which was really fun to say, but I already forgot it. Between the seven of us, we could say <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #073763;">Hiccups</span></b> in four different languages, but not German – we agreed that “der Hiccup” is as likely as anything.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">In class today, Juraj (from Slovakia) told me the six languages he speaks. Apparently Czech and Slovakian are so close that it hardly counts as a second language, Hungarian is apparently very similar to the roots of Scandinavian languages and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">literally everyone </span><span class="Apple-style-span">knows English. Juraj told me that proper Slovakian is the third most difficult language in the world, right underneath Chinese. Even normal native speakers can't do it, so English is easier for him. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Despite my low-energy weekend, the approximate half-way point of this month has hit everyone here in the face. I only recently stopped feeling like we “just got here.” And at the same time, I feel almost at home here, as though I’ve done this for years.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">It is a truly unique sensation. Half of me feels like I love this city and I love living with my international friends, and I don’t want to leave in less than two weeks. But the other half of me couldn’t stop thinking about how much I’d rather salsa with Sloan, and that I miss my friends and family more now than when I’m at college.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Anyway, I'm still having tons of fun!!!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

1) the weather has been lame and uncooperative.<br />
2) the weather has made me feel lame and sluggish.<br />
3) the weather has impeded my access to the free wifi.<br />
and 4) nothing's been going on anyway.<br />

Vienna was actually the envy of the European world following the War. in 1919, one year after the fighting ended, was the first time women were allowed to vote in the general election (mostly because all the young men were dead). you vote for the party here, not one specific candidate - and they picked the Social Democrats. It's a<b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;"> little</span></i></b> confusing because the Austria "Conservatives" are equal to the American Left and Right Wing is still Right wing, and Nazis = Tea Party.<br />

They build apartments for the workers and people can still live in them super-cheap. It's designed as a scary fortress outside, but every room has access to the beautiful gardens and even a <i>private</i> bathroom.<br />

</tbody></table>So, this went on beautifully until 1934, when a guy lead the formerly wealthy, gun-toting, Christian-zealots to revolt. They didn't really care that this system was really good for 75% of the population, they were more miffed that their 25% had the same taxes as everyone else. And since they were wealthy and gun-toting, they were widely successful... that is until the guy got shot in 1938. By then Hitler was already into power.<br />

<br />
Today was the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">first day of classes</span>. At 8:15 we set out to find our way to the language school in the rain. Eventually, after walking three blocks in the wrong direction and wandering around until something looked vaguely familiar, we found it. Even though it took 45 min to get to class today, tomorrow it should only take about 10. We have to take the U-bahn a few stops over. In the past two days we’ve been on the U-bahn a lot, but apparently at 8:30 on weekdays <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">everybody</span></i> is on that train.<br />
<br />
My class has about 15 people. After 24 hours in Vienna, you realize that diversity is a big deal, but I had no idea how big a deal it was. My youngest classmate is Haram, 15 years old from <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: inherit;">South Korea</span> and the oldest is Tony, a 50- something <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">Englishman</span> (who has lived in Vienna for the past 10 years and figured it was about time to learn German). We also have people from<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;"> Japan</span>,<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"> Hungary</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">Turkey</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;">Seattle</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">Slovakia</span> and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Poland</span>. My table-buddies are Hannah and Rutsuko. Hannah is 23 from Krakow, Poland and studies medicine. Rutsuko is from Japan and has lived in Vienna for the past two years at the music school and has only been learning German for 8 months!<br />
<br />
And now that the weather is a bit nicer and<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: lime;"> I FOUND a McDonalds with WIFI</span></b> - there<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"> WILL </span></i>be pictures tomorrow!!<br />

<br />
Today I played Civilization IV from 7am, when I was awoken by the noisy Sunday morning traffic, until mid-afternoon. Apparently everything is closed on Sundays in Austria. Even McDonalds. I had a Coke from the machine downstairs and a fiber bar for breakfast and gushers for lunch.<br />
<br />
Our director, Kris Riggs, took us to the IKI Vienna office to do placement tests, offering a welcome diversion. But he said this was the worst weather he’s ever received a group in. So in 55 degree rain and 60 mph gusts, we toured the center city. Needless to say, I have no decent pictures. <br />
I met the rest of our group. Meredith from Indiana. That’s it. The five of us from Juniata and Meredith. And I still don’t have a roommate.<br />
<br />
After enjoying <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #783f04;">instant black coffee</span></b> (yeah, jet lag sucks that bad), we had a quick orientation consisting of “how to not be that ripped off American tourist” and “basic Austrian for the ‘trying not to be a tourist’ student.” So rather than saying, “Das Wetter ist schlimm,” I should say, “De Wette is schiach.”<br />
<br />
For dinner we went to the <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Donauturm Wein</span></b>, which translates roughly to: the spinning restaurant on top of the really tall tower that sways in this kind of wind. I do have half-decent pictures of us falling over in the 80+ mph gusts on the observation deck. There, we all had weinerschnitzel and Riesling, followed by more Riesling and a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">cranberry</span>-<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">raspberry</span>-<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">strawberry</span>-<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">blueberry</span> sundae (note to self: don’t do that again).<br />

</tbody></table><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">We are finally in the Stockholm airport. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">It is 8:15am here but at home it is 2:15am. The airplane was very cool because it had individual touchscreens for movies, music ans games. Of course, there were no decent FREE movies... so i literally played <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Tetris</span></b> the entire trip. The plane even had a camera on the front and bottom of the plane... but the Atlantic ocean is really boring at nighttime.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Landing and takeoff WOULD HAVE beenthe best part... but they turn off the cameras then. Lame... Momma, I know you want me to call as soon as i get there, but Ill let you sleep until Vienna.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Btw... i bought a pepsi for 25 sek. Would someone please tell me how much that is? But good news! Reindeer pelts are on sale for only 995 sek! And if dont find better gifts in Vienna, you all are getting kaviar in a toothpaste tube... or salmon paste... or maybe that giant tuna that was on sale...</span></span>Katya Rebmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04160066504341765947noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488299800012017625.post-72641284759496023192011-06-30T19:05:00.000-07:002011-06-30T19:05:04.407-07:00Ready to go!So tomorrow I'm leaving for Vienna.
