The Austrian in Vancouver

Slowly Getting Ready

It’s less than a week now till the next big trip — this time back home to Austria to spend Christmas and New Year’s with family and friends. Starting to looking forward to it.

It will be the exact opposite of last year’s Christmas experience:

  • It’ll be cold, not tropical and hot.
  • It’ll be “old”, well known places, not new locations to explore.
  • It’ll be with people I have know for a long time as opposed to new acquaintances.
  • We’ll be gone over New Year’s as well.

For my schveetie pie it’s of course going to be the different than for me, given the language barrier, the fact that my family and friends are essentially strangers to her, and all the places are foreign as well. The different climate’s going to be the same for both of us, though. ;-)
