Mr. AZ


So yesterday was a good day. After class, I went back to my room and ate lunch there. I took a very small nap, and then Allison came in and we got our stuff together and went for a walk with other people to the Hundertwasser area. Hundertwasser was this awesome architect and artist who has all these incredible buildings all over Europe. Here is a picture of the building we saw. It is called the Hundertwasser House. We went to the little cafe there and hung out and did German homework for a while. After that, we headed back to Hotel Therresianum. After laying around for a couple of minutes we got ready and went out to eat at the Mexican Restaurant next to our hotel. It was great to be able to have food that we have at home. It was a nice change from Schnitzel. After that we met up with everyone else who was going to the concert and hopped on the U-Bahn to the venue.

It concert was amazing. Jason Mraz is possibly even better live than he is on CD. He is such a poet. I loved it. However, we were standing and so it was very, very crowded. It was interesting. He sang and spoke completely in English, which was awesome. It was so nice to be able to understand what someone was saying. Hearing English was a treat.

This morning was interesting as well. It is only 11:30 here, and so far I have almost broken my nose on my sink, and I fell into my bathtub while the shower was running, fully dressed. So for those of you who were worried I might change here, don't worry...I am still as clumsy as ever.

We are headed to Prague Sat. morning, so I am sure I will have some good stories after that.
Hopefully tomorrow I will get to update.

Love from Austria.

Since you are visiting the unusual and artistic sites too, make sure you check out the Kugelmugel... It is a micronation right there in the middle of Vienna.
