Willkommen in Österreich!

Pros: No extra charge for luggage - even oversize!
Cons: Austrians get airsick far too easily.

I have finally arrived in Vienna where the other students and I have settled in at a small hotel (Pension Kaffeemühle) near the Westbahnhof as per program instructions. We are meeting for dinner tonight with our program director, Frauke Binder. Tomorrow we will receive our schedules, cell phones and meet with our host families who will then take us to our new home away from home.

More later.
