I departed my country,Georgia on 1 September and arrived in Austria with my friend,Kate.The very first day we spent in Vienna-in the City of Dreams and City of Music.We visited Schoenbrunn Palace-the uppermost tourist attraction in Vienna.
The next day we got to our destination Graz-UNESCO City of Design.I am really thankful to my buddy(mentor) who met me at Graz station and helped me a lot later.The first two weeks at the university were "Orientation Weeks".After it,we had much time to get to know the city where we would live next 5 months.First of all,I had to remember streets very well and a map of Graz was especially helpful for a person ,like me,who is not very good at orienting directions.Well,I don't need a map now.:)
Kate and I, naturally, did some sightseeing:we visited Schlossberg, famous for its Clock Tower, Kunsthaus, Landhaus, Murinsel,Double Spiral Staircase,my favourite place: Stadtpark. Still we have to see other places of interest.
One of the most impressive event was Aufsteirern about a month ago,Styrian folk culture festival where we listened to traditional Austrian music,saw Styrian folk dances,different costumes,tasted local food and beer.I was amazed.
P.S.To be continued.
