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
