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
