Vienna, Austria
Definitely the coldest place on my trip- it even got down to -5 degrees! I am staying with my friend Susanne and her house is so cosy and her Mum cooks really good Austrian food.
The first day I got there, Katharina (another girl who lives in Vienna) took us out to a Heuringe which serves typical Austrian food. It was good to come back to Europe! Austrian people speak German with a different accent so I could understand things but I find it a lot easier to just ask, "Sprechen Sie Englisch?" since everyone speaks english.
Katharina and Susanne have been the most wonderful hosts and have shown us around Vienna. It gets so so so cold sometimes. I was so happy yesterday because it was the first time I was in a place that was snowing. Susanne and her Mum laughed at me because i took an umbrella out and its "uncool" to do that. Snow is so fluffy and I was giggling and screaming like a little kid when it was snowing on me!
I have tried a lot of Austrian food thanks to our hosts. I had the famous Sacher cakes, Krapfer, schnitzel, strudel, and lots of other food. I'll be leaving for Bangkok tomorrow. Its apparently 36 degrees there .... a bit of a change!
Cars parked on the street are covered with snow. Owners have to spend 5 minutes using brooms to get snow off before driving!
This is the view of the street from where Im staying. Poor owners of the cars!

This picture is on an Austrian club website. We got our pic taken when we were at a club called 'Q'. What I've noticed is that the world has become so globalised that Australian music is up to date with American music and the club in Austria also played up to date songs!
Me walking in the snow when it was snowing
I love European chocolates. What I find very charming about Austria is that there is snow everywhere and then there are lots of little simple side shops (instead of the multinational franchises we have all over Australia and America)

Austria looks stunning...and so does the chocolates :P
By the way, is Susanne the German girl who came to our high school for exchange?

Oh no! Lucky you! I SOOOOO wanted to see enough snow to fully cover up cars and stuff, just like the ones in your photos but it never got that cold when I went! I'm so jealous!
