Seasons Change

Hi all, hope you are well. I'll make an effort at correct spelling this time. Life in Vienne is alright. I started off rocky here after the near loss of luggage and being locked out of my hostel on no sleep. Since then, I did a walking tour of the city (saw all the emperial palaces and stuff like that), sat in some nice coffee houses, and slept for nearly 20 hours straight through. Then yesterday I got myself thoughrally lost on the public transport system, but of course had fun seeing the sights while doing so. It was cloudy and snowing all day yesterday which had me kind of down. That is until I was invited out of the cold for coffee and given a free ticket to the Imperial Orchestra concert by a nice Italian guy. The concert last night was nice and so were dinner and drinks that followed. I also got to spend the evening with a cool couple from Florida so I got a taste of the American accent again and funny enough it actually sounded wrong to my ear! Strangely the Aussie accent now sounds correct to me! So now I have the rest of the day to spend here. Maybe I'll go for a ride on the giant wheel today since it is clear and I might actually be able to see something. Tomorrow I fly on to Istanbul. I am a bit nervous and excited. I'll be happy to see my friend Hasan again though. That's all for this episode, talk to you all again from Turkey...
