Although there is much excitement leading up to this tournament, you will find many Austrians that are not as thrilled as you would expect
One of the locals I found myself talking to at a bar last month suggested that because Austria was so bad, they should drop out and sell their spot on eBay. I'm sure the English would be happy to pay. The reason why I'm bringing this up is because I have heard rumors all semester about a petition for Austria to drop out of the tournament because they do not actually belong in it. I have just found evidence that this petition exists.
The concert I went to last night at Shonbrunn was hosted by the Vienna Philharmonic btw.
Today I went to a museum called the Haus der Musik. The history stuff about the various composers was boring but they had a couple floors of interactive stuff where you could play around with different sounds (real and imaginary), test your hearing threshold, create new sounds with multiple sounds layered together in the right way, and finally make your own music onto a cd. Fun while learning!
my euphoria is limited because I have to start lesson 2 of my online class and my head is playing tricks on me because I could have sworn I just caught a hint of BBQ in the air....
auf wiedersehen.
