First week of my work placement, complete. It has been such a challenging and yet fun week all at the same time! The language barrier has appeared to be an issue at times, however I am learning fast- I have even decided to take up a German language course to improve.

After a long working week, I decided a Starbucks treat was in order. It wasn't until I sat down that I realised what the Barista had done to my cup, it is safe to say that this made my day.

Last night we went out to some bars with our Erasmus friends! Such a great time and even better people. Cannot wait to make many more memories with these people over the next semester. 

In the past few days there has been a heavy, tiring schedule. Non of the less we have seen some amazing sights of Vienna- even had a guided tour around the city!
The history of this place is so fascinating, and we have learnt a lot about the traditional festivals here in Vienna and the meanings behind them.

We even had the pleasure of seeing one of Mozart's many apartments he lived in during his time in Vienna.

So, finally managed to get back online, at the second hostel- which is hell.
25 more nights here and counting, however finding a flat was a success and we move in on the 30th of September, then let the true Vienna lifestyle commence.

All paper work is done and sorted, 5 days to go, exciting!

..and so, 16 days until the big adventure starts, not that I'm counting.
