Vienna day 2

So I just realized I dont sound too happy / I didn`t really say anything too positive in this video. Truth is..I still have yet to be wowed by Vienna. I also dont think it helps that ever since the airplane was descending down to land, my ears have been stuffed like crazy...and my cold has not gotten any better. If I still feel sick by ...hmm tomorrow..I will go see a doctor I promise (I`m just not sure where lol)

Anyways, I`m finally going to meet all of the exchange students tomorrow!
Then on Saturday we`re going on a trip to Lower Vienna (Melk and Krems) so that should cheer me up :)


Airport Goodbyee

A video I made before getting on my flight. I`m going to miss my brother so much!! He`s the cutest thing :)

Vienna day 3


So I finallyyyyy met my buddy today!

For those of you who don`t know - each exchange student is set up with a local student whose job is to pick them up from the airport , show them around town, help them get settled in... like a big brother big sister type of thing.

So yes, I met him today and he`s really sweet. He took me to the *Sisi Museum* in Hofburg. This *residence* is where the Emperor Franz Joseph and Empress Elisabeth lived during the habsburg dynasty. Most of the tour was dedicated to Elisabeth who became known as Sisi. This woman was intense - she was best known for her rebellion against the court and the fact that she hated her title (she was promised to be married at the age of 15 - making her feel as though her freedom was taken away).

Anyways, as most of you know, I`m really NOT into history so the greatest thing I took away was - that it took her 3 hours every day to primp her ankle-length hair (which she would also condition with cognac and egg once a week) lol...so boys should not whine when it takes us a little bit longer to get ready for a date.

Anyways, my buddy is so cute to think I would be so interested in history. After that eventful outting he wanted to take me to see some horses getting trained...or something? haha. It was a tad expensive so I said maybe in the future. So then, we went to McDonalds! haha
