ICH LIEBE WIEN <3

Wien is AMAZING!!! Honestly, only in Vienna can I have visited graves/memorials for Schubert, Beethoven, Brahms (<3), Mozart, etc...........and go to a free outdoor concert at Schönbrunn Palace by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra =) It was just amazing!!

To be honest, when I was told that I didn't get my top 3 choices for exchange (which were all in Singapore), I was a little disappointed. I mean, I was worried about internships, costs, language, etc that I didn't even know if I wanted to go anymore (but that only lasted a second lol). I'm so glad Alex convinced me to go to Vienna and not St. Gallen (which is SMALL, hard, and expensive). I don't regret my choice one bit; I love music and I just died when I was at the concert. Kinda reminds me of our band days =P

My parents are coming on the 15th and I have an exam on the 17th; thus I thought I would have a lot of time after my Prague trip to study -_- But I've been filling my days w. random activities. I met up with my buddy Lizhen and Ken for the concert; went to SOHO (that's right!) for a karaoke birthday party, biked from school to the city centre.............oh! and go to class once a week =P

Only in vienna................I've been telling myself that everytime my friends ask me to go out b/c there are certain things that I can only do in Vienna. The other day, my Austrian friend brought me to his flat; he lives inside a church, next to the Belvedere museum (remember Tee???) and from there, we went up to the attic to get a panoramic view of Vienna......My buddy Georg is a crazy athlete, running marathons and biking (hahaha kinda like Tim and Karim!) so he took me on a scenic route in Vienna.........we biked through parks and the city centre in order to get to the Donauinsel, the island next to the Danube. We biked all the way to the end =) ONLY IN VIENNA!!! (BTW check facebook for pics!)

As for my studying........the next couple of days are going to be crazy as some of my friends are leaving and I have to prep for my parents (aka the last of my freedom!!!) so I don't know when I'll be studying.........but there's more to life than studying ;)
