BEHOLD THE POWAH OF INTERNET CAFES!

[clo_again]

Guten tag from Austria! The keyboard is trying to kill me but other than that it's cheap, handy - sort of - and has an English keyboard. And they're even playing Dido as background music. So cool.

So! What am I up too... well, in fine Welsh-traveller tradition, we got here just as the weather broke... and were welcomed with rain. Typical eh? But Kitzbuhel is *very* pretty (oh-so-quaint, cobbled streets and painted houses with flowers and everything) and we've booked several trips for later in the week, including going to see Grussglockner ('scuse spelling) the highest mountain in Austria and the glacier next to it which we actually get to walk on. :-D Plus the rep is looking into horse riding for me, so hopefully that's going to happen at some point during the week. Mwahaha! Austria is excellent. All the mountains are misty today which is extremely pretty. So maybe rain is good for some things after all.

In other news, we're spending far too much money. >_< Ooops.

And... we have Eurosport on the TV in our room, so I get to see the tennis. MWAHAHAHA! Watched the Henman vs Federer match last night and it was a bizarre experience willing Roger to lose for once. Didn't work; Henman was his usual inconsistent self. *sigh* Should get to see the final tonight. Almost made the horrendous 25 euros for the remote control worth it.

I think the receptionist of our hotel thinks we're morons. We keep having to ask her all this random stuff and I get the distinct feeling she doesn't like us. There are two guys who're there some of the time though, so walking through reception isn't quite a sprint-through-without-looking-at-reception deal just yet. We have only been here a day though.

Off to catch up on the f-list before I run out of money. Aufwiedersehn for now (thanks Shana! ^___^)

*is jealous of your vast travelingness*

Say hi to Austria for me!

Don't be jealous. My vast travelingness has the downside of always bringing Welsh weather along with it. Hence the rain I'm currently staring at - again - through the window. ;-)

*waves to Austria* threegoldfish says hi! ^__^

Austria: Hi threegoldfish! *looks vaguely confused*

The Austrians think pretty much all foreigners are idiots - so don't worry about it. They also have a perculiar twang in their voice which makes them basically the Germanic equivalent of Geordies. Or so Ralf told me when I was in Germany a while back.
I got a 'C' in A-level German, so if you need any choice phrases, you know who to call.

Ja Al. Du hast ein Meerscwienchen in diener Hose. Du kennt Es, und du magt Es.

Entschuldigung. Meiner Deutsch ist nicht sehr gut.

And enjoy Austria Helen!

Auf Wiedersehen.

Ja, ich kenne es (no capital on 'es', eejit - it's not a noun) - aber ich leibe du! Du und deine schöne lange Haar. Richtig? Oder nicht? Das macht nichts. Ich glaube nur, dass mein Hintern ist auf feuer. Oh ja.

Ich wohne in eine Schlamhutte,

Hey! It's bad enough I'm working on the German version of Lj right now - if nothing else I should at least be able to understand my comments! ;-)

And I will inform the receptionist that I have a guinea pig down my trousers at the first opportune moment. ^__~

Can you not just click the 'English' tab on the main page? There's all sorts of funny languages you can do it in up there...

Time is money! And I know LJ so well it honestly doesn't matter anymore. ;-)

Besides, is quite fun. ^__^
