Prague - "the journey"

Hey guys,

I have been in Prague for 3 days. This trip was organized by my school. and now I will tell you some facts and things I liked and disliked.

So the first fact is that you have to drive by bus for 5 hours. This was very hard for me, because after half the distance my body had hurted so much that the rest of the ride wasn't enjoyable. After arriving we walked throught the city more than 3 hours, it was so exhausting.
In Czech Republic the beer is so good. Our whole group liked it so much, so we drunk more than 50 litre beer in 1 hour!!
The biggest problem was that it was raining all day long, so we were wet like a fish.
The next day we also walked over to the other side of the city and did some sightseeing within leading of our guide. It was still raining and we shipped on the moldau, it's the longest river in this country.
On the third day we got a guided tour in the budweiser brewery. After we turned a round throught this factory, everybody bought beer so most of the souvenir shop was empty.

I really liked this trip and think that it was the right decision to go on this journey. I really recommend you to go to Prague once in lifetime.

See you.

Stereotypes about Austria

Hey guys,

This semester I'm a buddy and welcomed James. He is an exchange student and lives in England, near London. His name is James and he has orange hair. Also he is as big as me. His hobbies are playing football, basketball or going for a swim. As a buddy I have already spent some time with him, and realised that he has heard of some stereotypes about Austria. So today I'm writing about these and try to explain them.

On Monday he told me that he always thought that Austrians don't go out without wearing a "Lederhose" or a "Dirndl". But this isn't correct, because people in Austria only wear this traditional clothes at festivals or at some weddings. Fifty years ago people in Austria used to work in these clothes every day. But nowadays the people don't wear this anymore.

On the next day my mom prepared lunch very well, but James was confused, because there wasn't any "Schnitzel" on the plate. He thought Austrians eat "Schnitzel" every day! So this is the next stereotype he had about Austria. That's not right, because most of us only eat this food once a month. But Kugler Simon really eats this food almost every day, because he has a eating disorder, so he can't eat other food!!

I hope I could inform you and James about the Austrien culture.

See you,

Patrick
