Täglich Wiederkehrendes Abenteuer

The training I just got back from was at a ski resort, so we took a bit of  a hike into the mountains.  Click for larger. Gallery:

So training is alright. Yesterday, we took a hike up a mountain; it was pretty cool. We went to a little place up there to have a beer and tea and hot chocolate. Maria von Trapp’s friend, Hans, wore lederhosen and brought his accordion, so we sang songs up there as well. It was a […]

So I’m here at training. I was pretty nervous about making it to the place, but when I was waiting for the second train connection, I found some other people on the platform who were going to the same place as me. So we sat together on the train and chatted. Then when we got […]

Hey, here is some Simpsons with German voice overs. *Edit 1-6-2014 – Apparently Fox didn’t like this being on YouTube and it got pulled. 🙁 Not sure if it’s worth fighting it.

I’ve heard a few people say that, sure, we’re going to Austria, but most Europeans speak English anyway.  There have been many times in Germany when people I’ve spoken to have switched to English upon hearing my accent.  However, since arriving in Linz, only one person has done that; it was a woman today at […]

Well, I went yesterday to meet with some of the teachers I’ll be working with this school year.  They seem very nice and I think this could be a lot of fun. They seem to actually want me to be more of a friend than a teacher to the students so that they feel more […]
