Do you have spurs and ride a horse to work?

Unfortunately the answer to that question is NO. Thats only one of the many stereotypical questions I was asked last night. Seriously, about everybody at the party I was at asked me some kind of question that pertains to the old west. "Do you have a horse?" "Do you say 'howdy' and 'yee-haw' all the time?" My only response was "yes, just like you wear liederhosen every day."

Never have I ever been to a party that lasted til 7AM. Seriously, there was an epic party. I have never seen people drink THAT much beer. None of them drove home either. Thankfully the underground here is amazing. By 5AM I was actually fed up with everybody so I went out and took a walk around the city. I found a fantastic store that I plan on revisiting once I can figure out how to get there again. I'm pretty sure I can find my way though. These folks in Wien play hard, and party harder. I got back home around 7am and then slept til about noon. I'm just waiting on something interesting to happen today. I met a lot of people last night. Thankfully they all speak english. Yes I know I'm here to study and practice german... but school hasn't started yet :-p  Yesterday as we were walking around the city, NOBODY would give us directions. I was very surprised at the assholes out and about here. WTF mate. Whatev though. I'm waiting my turn to take a shower, the hot water is broke and surprisingly enough the water is FREEZING. Not like back home where you could take a cold shower and its tolerable... but like freezing like just before its frozen freezing. Like daggers into your body. I've never shivered after a 30 second rinse before until now. Even when I had NO hot water in my apt in the middle of winter. It was never that bad. Never. SO COLD. I'm looking forward to the studentenheim even more now. I'm told there are two more parties tonight... I don't know that I want to go. Not if it means staying  up all fucking night again. I love meeting people but its very strange being the odd one out at a huge party. This party was full of nothing but beautiful people. Any one of these folks could be a model. I had to pluck up quite a bit of courage to try and assimilate into the crowd, but I ended up getting a bunch of numbers and making friends. Holla!

I plan on having more adventures today. I found a Jundl store and I want to go buy it now that I found a place that has them for less than 500 Euro. In fact, they have them for about 100 euro. I'm willing to drop that kind of serious dollar (the total cost in dollars will probably run around $250-300) This will be the most amazing thing, and I can wear it to renfest, and pretty much love it every day. The coutoure store I tried the first one on at was pretty cool. They actually had my size. The lady was afraid I couldn't fit, but I showed her. Not a seam popped, nothing but fit. It was pretty much perfect.  It will be mine, oh  yes, it will be mine!



I'm totally done now. I will update more later folks.
