Today concluded our first week in Graz!
After emotional goodbyes and a small hick-up at the airport, the rest of the travels went smoothly and we made it safely through Paris and to the Vienna airport. A very tired but very excited group of us met up with Tyler and went to Graz by bus. We took a little pit-stop to get a first taste of Austrian food. After a short trip and some much-needed sleep we made it to Graz safely and were greeted by the host families, who were waiting on us. The bus was the last place where everyone got to speak English.
The first day, Wednesday, was dedicated to getting settled in, getting used to the new environment and getting to know each other better. Due to the jet lag some of us needed a much-deserved nap!
Thursday, we were all rested a little better and the students had a little taste of the way classes would be like. The day was short but fun, phones and new phone-contracts were distributed, and everyone got to go home to hang out with their host-families and catch up on some more sleep!
Friday, we went on an exciting city tour, which ended with some schnitzel and risotto.
Everyone is getting to know their host-families and host-siblings better and enjoying the (mostly) sunny weather here in Graz!
Thanks for the update and pics!
