The time has come. My semester in Vienna has come to a close, but before I am officially gone, I was thinking about the many things I will miss about Vienna and my time abroad, as well as those things that I am excited about in America, and I thought I would share them here.
What I will miss about Wien:
-the public transportation
-cafes
-reading German words on street signs and then repeating them over and over again with my friends
-being asked for directions and knowing how to get there, but not how to say it in German
-the people
What I am excited for back home:
-ice in my water
-people smiling on the street
-solicitation laws
-no smoking
I wasn’t sure what to include for pictures here, so I thought I would just throw in some of my favorites of Vienna.
Schönbrunn in February before spring had arrived.
