A COUNTRY DRIVE AND HOW DETERMINATION AND WILLPOWER CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS

By Susanne Pacher

Finally, after the rather rainy day yesterday I opened my curtains to an absolutely gorgeous day today. The lush green Alpine foothills and mountains surrounding Weiz were competing with the brilliant blue sky to catch my attention and naturally I had to get out on the road and explore. new building. Construction on the new baroque style church began in 1757 and was finally completed in 1776.

THE WINE REGIONS OF AUSTRIA - FOCUS ON VIENNA

By Emily Schindler

The wine regions of Austria are divided into 4 areas, called Lower Austria, Styria, Burgenland, and Vienna. Each of these regions is then further divided, for a total of 19 designated wine growing areas. To roughly get your bearings, Lower Austria encompasses the wine growing areas north and west of Vienna, with Burgenland south and east of Vienna and Styria south and west of Burgenland.

The Vienna Art Orchestra, one of Europe’s leading big bands

The Vienna Art Orchestra, one of Europe’s leading big bands, was created in Vienna in 1977 by Mathias Rüegg. After a short but intensively activist beginning, the young sound "phenomenon" conquered the concert halls of Europe with its audacious postmodern style, which even touched the extremes of avant-garde and idiosyncratic Viennese Schmäh, as for example in the early recordings Tango from Obango, From No Time to Rag Time and The Minimalism of Erik Satie.

A WIENER SCHNITZEL IS A WIENER SCHNITZEL

By Bernhard Baumgartner

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.

PORTABLE CAREERS: FREELANCE PROOFREADER

By Jan K

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!). You’ve always wanted to work at home, and you’ve thought about becoming a freelance proofreader. But just how do you become a freelance proofreader who works at home?

THE JOY OF EXPETS
By Robin Pascoe

An expat pet was recently put on a diet by a local veterinarian. It seemed he was not getting as much exercise as he could be, and had packed on a few extra kilos since moving abroad. The vet broke the news to both the pet – a Shetland sheepdog – and his owners just as he was about to plunge a needle into the dog's rear end.

PETIT - POINT FROM VIENNA

Pattern and design cards dating back as far as the 16th century were used, and magazines contained petit-point instructions and designs to copy. As early as 1770, Charles Germain was reporting in his " L’art du brodeur " that semi-finished embroidery patterns were for sale, and they were eagerly snapped up.
