"Would You Like Anything From the Trolley Dear?"

Hello again! OLO. Hallo. Yes.. well life for Mackenzie hasn't had many big adventures lately but it is the little ones that count right? Well on Friday, while I was still in Vienna I was just completely unmotivated and felt like doing nothing. My excuse was that I had done so much magical exploring the day before that I had to process it all :D So despite the fact that I was in Vienna, Sophie and I sat around, ate chocolate and watched German tv. Well at least I attempted to. It was an amazing day though. At night we figured we should really leave the house so Sophie's sister, Valarie took us to a bar to go watch one of her boyfriend's favourite bands.
So we trained there and we get off the train, walk around a corner and go into this like falling apart doorway and down some dodgey hallway, turn the corner through some like hidden door and down some stairs and we were at a bar! It smelt like basement.. so the band was an hour and a half late.. and when they started everyone started smoking. So you are in this basement in a cloud of smoke with some tipsy Germans listening to a guy sing in German. It was amazing. Like when you picture some German bar, I would so imagine something like that. And it was true!! I really had no idea if the band was good or not. But apparently the main singer guy made some really bad jokes that weren't funny at all. I didn't even speak German and I could tell.. So after that interesting experience we trained home and they took me to get Doner or something like that. It was amazing!! It was pretty much a kebab. But way better. So the next morning I woke up and I could taste onions in my breath until midday. It was delicious...
So the next day I packed up all my crap and headed to the train station! Bought some crazy as expensive train ticket to Schladming, via Salzburg, where I had to get off in Salzburg and find another train. It wasn't too hard to find but on this train is where I took my picture. I was in a little glass cabin all to myself! I felt like I was in Harry Potter. A German lady even came and asked if I wanted anything to drink! Hence my blog title for today :) So i got here at about 6. But see, I thought I'd be all set cause cause I emailed them in the morning to ask them to pick me up. So I waited.. it go to like 6.20.. I tried calling but of course they were closed seeing as it was saturday. And after I tried calling two different phone numbers this old german couple was like "everything alright?" even though they probably couldn't even understand my reply. It was so cute :) So I walked! In the rain.. Which was an adventure.. Got lost of course but at one point when I was like dying I saw these 3 people walking towards me and two of them had 'Capernwray' sweaters on so I got all excited and asked them where it was and they pointed me in the right direction and about half way there while I was taking a break I ran into a man who actually works at Tauernhof! So he showed me the way. So I am now here and it is gorgeous! It is the last week for the students who attended Spring school, so they have all been together for 6 months at least. So feeling a bit like the new kid at school but they are all leaving in a week! So I will just start to get to know them and them bam. They are gone.
My roommate's names are Kendra and Caro. Kendra is from Arazona and was at the Capernwray in England for 9 months before she came here a week ago and Caro has been here for 10 months and is leaving to go home to Germany tomorrow! So I think we have a new roommate coming... but I am not sure. No one has told me what I am supposed to be doing. They showed me my room and that was about it! But it'll all be okay. Give me 2 weeks and I will know the place like the back of my hand :)
Oh and did I mention it is freezing here? Yea. It is pretty much New Zealand winter right now. It rained all day today. I got caught in it as I explored the little village town of Schladming. It snowed in the mountians last night. :O And I only brought one sweater.. YUP! XD Right now it is.. 16 degrees.. and its 4pm.. So much for summer! But I think it is supposed to get nicer.. And it seems that typerope walking is a popular hobby. I saw some guy trying over the huge river today.. and now there is a guy trying just over yonder. The town is so cute! It reminds me of like Whistler. But it is sunday so like everything is closed. Okay gonna go warm up! Sorry this one wasn't as exciting as the others. :) ENJOY!
