Day 7


Prague...you were a time. On Thursday, we caught the train in Vienna around 10:30 am and arrived in Prague around 2:30 pm. We walked to our hostel and settled in for a bit before walking around to view the city. These pictures were taken while walking around and let me tell you, they don't do this place justice. The architecture is simply beautiful and I couldn't get enough of the view from the bridge. After we finished observing the scenery, we walked back to the hostel for a free Italian meal followed by a trip to grab some delicious gelato - I had oreo and chocolate, need I say more? With gelato in hand, I strolled the streets accompanied by friends from my program group. We found a peaceful place to sit and talk by the water before heading back to the hostel to call it a night. It was a nice day and a great start to an even better weekend.

I noticed that Vienna and Prague are quite different from each other, but both cities are beautifully unique.

I enjoyed the architecture, streets, and colorful buildings in Prague and the historical, ancient feel the city offered. Its beauty is unmatched.

Vienna's structures are designed more modernly, and the city contains a more contemporary feel. I admire the set up of the city and the hidden beauty found within each district.

Day 5

Today at a glance: 7:30 - woke up 9:00-10:30 - German 10:30-1:00 - ate lunch & organized my schedule 1:00-2:30 - Health psychology 2:45-3:30 - rode the tram home  4:00-5:30 - napped (essential)  6:00-8:00 - homework, cleaned, cooked dinner 8:00-10:30 - drank wine & talked with friends  I should mention that I switched out of 4:35-6:05 (Psychology and Society in Vienna) to 1:00-2:30 (Health psychology) so that I was able to be in the same class as all of my friends. Although I would have enjoyed the content of psychology and society more so than health psychology, I was smart enough to download all of the readings from the society course so that I can still learn about it! Yes, I know, I am quite resourceful. All in all, everything worked out and I am one happy girl!

Today I went on a walking/bus tour of the city and was able to see some pretty neat sights. They were all very scenic and I was amazed by the view from overlooking the city. Also, I learned that Vienna has been voted the best city in the world to live in nine years in a row which doesn't surprise me at all! After the tours, I enjoyed a lovely meal and wine with good company. Overall, it was a day well spent!

Day 33

Tuesday, I attended classes and went home to change for the opera. We waited in line and then secured our seats in the standing room. We had an hour before the performance began so we went downstairs for a snack and glass of champagne. The show was an incredible experience; there was so much pure and raw talent. Also, music is an integral part of Viennese culture so we had to experience it at least once. We left after the second act and bought kebabs and ice cream and walked around for a bit. It was a very good day overall.
