Exploring Austria

Exploring Austria is about letting others enjoy what we (M&P, both born here) experience and see everyday, be it a building, fields, people, animals or other stuff... Feel free to ask for information about Austria, we will do research or go and take a picture for you.

Making sure to stay healthy in this weather by exploring the area/nature. Austria's autumn is really nice (if you like rain, fog and a bit of snow sometimes).

I don't like garden gnomes, but those were fun, because the other gardens were really simple without that much decoration or colours.

This is one of the highest buildings around that street. It's in the southern part of the city.

We were eating at Unibräu today. It's one of the restaurants around Campus Uni Wien. It was really tasty. Originally we went there to have Radler (beer with lemonade). It was hard to get a seat :)

Floods in Austria/Europe

We were busy for a while and still are, but I want to give a bit of information on Austria's (and Europe's) situation right now.

We have pretty bad weather in Austria/Europe and thanks to that we have floods now and with that mudslides are also happening. Well, I can't really describe it, like people in need would be able to. I am not directly at risk, since we left for Vienna and are not at risk right now, but others are in a really bad situation. They lost their homes. They can't leave for work, they are stuck where they are. There is trouble everywhere and it seems like we will have to deal with that trouble for a bit longer.

Other countries have the same problem, like Germany (especially Bavaria), Switzerland or Czech Republic. If you have family and/or friends there or in Austria, you should at least call them, maybe you can help. If you want to help victims in general, every country's help organizations are grateful for donations.

If you or someone you know as a foreigner in Austria lost your stuff like your pass, plane tickets, money etc. thanks to the floods you can look for your country's representatives >HERE<

The Red Cross is asking for help and donations. I only found the German version >LINK<, but I'm sure there are more ways to donate and help.

There is a German facebook group for information in Austria >LINK<

Another set with stickers.

The pink one says something like; "how much space there would be without cars"
