Dear Austria,
I want to apologize for the large percentage of American people who consistently get you mixed up with Australia.
"Austria. Like, 'Fosters- Austrian for 'Beer', right?'"
While I'm at it, I'd also like to apologize for the large percentage of Americans who get your capitol city of Vienna confused with Venice.

"Oh, you're going to Vienna? That's cool. Make sure you tip the gondolier."
I would like to blame our country folks' geographic ignorance on our broken public education system, but considering I AM a public school teacher, I think I'll remain silent on the subject. Nevertheless, I feel really badly that you, dearest Austria, get overlooked, misunderstood, and so shamelessly prejudged.

I will continue to work on things at this end, but I'm not sure how many more times I can handle a person hearing your name and instantly saying "Now this is a knife" like Crocodile Dundee.
I can't wait to meet you,
Vivian

ReplyDeleteAustria awaits you! My 2nd apartment in Vienna is all empty, and needs someone to care for it!
ReplyDeleteI'm moving my home base from Vorarlberg to Liechtenstein next week, since I won the "green card lottery" and am now allowed to move there.
When will you appear in Vienna?
