One of the most beautiful countries in Central Europe, Austria is every bit a visitors paradise. It has everything - from icy Alps in the West to the picturesque Danube Basin in the East. Austria has been among the leading lights for the European unity and is largely due to its efforts that the European Union, in the modern times, has seen the light of day.

You do not have to be a one of the Beatles to believe that you get by with a little help from your friends. I help you, you help me -- that is how society works. Whether you are migrating to Madrid, expatriating to Jakarta or leaving for a short-term assignment to Buenos Aires, the process of settling-in and getting connected is one of the most important first steps that you will make.

“Love conquers all” it is said, but is that really true when love brings a Californian to Austria?  After 30 years in Vienna, it’s a question I still ask myself, especially in the grey days of winter when “California Dreamin’” is whirling around inside my brain and snow is whirling around outside the house."

Vienna can be experienced in a variety of ways – on foot, by Citybike, on skates, or by boat. From the city center to the Donau Auen National Park there are always new ways to see the city. Exploring Vienna on foot is particularly enjoyable for a variety of reasons, first and foremost because Vienna is a green city – from the parks along the Ringstrasse boulevard to the green spaces of the Augarten or the Prater. And if fatigue sets in, the nearest subway, tram, or bus stop is never far away.

Volcano in the Backyard - Once a Yovo - The Dog Will Never Bring You Tea - Not knowing what to expect after studying the table of contents, I quickly put my nose back into the book curious to learn more.

I found a recipe today at on a recipe website for making Wiener Schnitzel. Not that I wouldn`t know how to make it, but for certain reasons I search the web for Austrian recipes quite often lately. So I found that one mentioned above. It says Wiener Schnitzel (Austrian), and so I studied it and realized, that nobody in Austria eats Wiener Schnitzel with tomatoe-root purree, and certainly nobody I know, would add parmesan to the breadcrumbs for coating the cutlet. At least they use veal, which is actually obligatory to call it a Wiener Schnitzel.

If one thinks of Vienna and music, one spontaneously thinks of the Blue Danube Waltz by Johann Strauss or else the Radetzky March by Johann Strauss the Elder. But Vienna is just as much associated with the Harry Lime Theme from the 1949 film classic "The Third Man". Brigitte Timmermann and Frederick Baker tell all about the making of the movie and the people involved - including the young Viennese musician who sparked off "zithermania" … in their book called "The Third Man. In the Footsteps of a film classic".

How many times have you thought to yourself that you would be a good proofreader? You have a decent working vocabulary, you are able to construct a well-turned phrase, and you know when to hyphenate a compound noun (or maybe you don’t, but you could take a good guess!).
