Well Austria itself can be considered as a quite nice country to live in. We have a very high standard of living, 5-6 weeks of vacation (as you already said), quite a good health care system and were are very religious (because of that we have quite a few "legal holidays")
I know there's a lot of stereotypes about austrians, f.e. that we are laid back and only drinking beer and eating fucking wiener schnitzel all day long (there are a lot more i know) --> well i have to say some of them are kinda true, we are really drinking a lot of beer and eating schnitzel xD

Anyways, some said mountains (and all the stuff you can do on/in/in front of/on top of them) already, the area around linz and wels its rather flat, with only a few hills, but don't panic there are mountains of course not that far away

And the dialect: well i would say there are a lot of different dialects depending in which area of austria you are, and none of them can be considered as real german, as they speak it in germany (well in vienna maybe). But if you speak german we will of course understand you, but you will have some problems to understand us maybe if we don't speak "real" german.

hope that helped a bit

Well... like I said in one of your other posts, make sure you seek psychological help. Quitting smoking, if you can, will do wonders for your anxiety as well; 1. No more stimulant/depressant factor and nicotine to throw your chemicals off worse than they are 2. Your biggest problem revolves around throat cancer and the acid reflux that makes you more worried you have it... quitting smoking can alleviate both of those things.

Enjoy your trip, just make sure to be proactive about your health. You have had plenty of great advice given to you, but I usually just see that instead of getting help for your condition you just give into getting help for you imagined conditions instead.

Not trying to be an ass, just saying please try to deal with the problem so it doesn't keep ruining your quality of life. (And maybe the next post blog post you put up on TL will be more positive lol)

Again, Hope you enjoy your trip.

when Austrians speak standard german it sounds pretty awesome. at least the ones I met in the area around Salzburg did.
The people from Vienna who I met were mostly assholes though :o

But OP be happy that your mum send you to austria because they tend to be nicer. Germans would call you out on the bullshit you are pulling.

About the accent:
Try not to get the one that is spoken there, speak clean Highgerman instead(not that having an accent is bad or anything:D), because if you ever meet a german girl the accent will probably fuck up dirty-talking badly for you, since about 90% of the accents spoken there are funny as hell for germans(just like a few of those, which you can find in germany^^).
I got a buddy in teamspeak who always sounds funny to me, even if he's tottally angry and ranting about something, I sincerely hope that I never meet him in ts when his gf leaves him or something even more serious happens to him or a member of his family, because chuckling about the way he speaks would be really mean.
Oh and there's a story about dirty talking and a girl who I met on a classtrip, but she just came from a region in south-east-bavaria, which is very close to austria, but not in austria itself.
The story ended with the loss of my erection, when she said something, which would've been pretty hot if she wouldn't have spoken with that hilarious accent... I guess it was still kinda hot, but I just couldn't notice it, because I was lying naked on the floor and couldn't stop laughing and thought I would die from laughing when she asked me if I'm alright or if I need help.

About the austrians are nicer than germans thing, you might wanna read this blog from zatic about the different stereotypes about germans from different regions from germany:

Btw if you read all of his blog entries definitly read the comments, sometimes they're even funnier than the blog itself (the story in the comments, of the asian guy who was sent into a german sauna and didn't know that they're mixed here made me fall of my chair)
Oh and easy women and dirty porn fuck yeah!

most important export from Austria: RedBull (just btw^^)

i don't give a fuck about mountains to be honest, cause i'm surrounded from them, there everywhere and i don't get it climbing on them just to climb down later on :D

Sorry to disappoint you, but directly around Linz there are no mountains. You'd have to travel an hour ot two to get to some decent ones.

Linz is, after Eisenstadt, probably the most ugly large city in Austria imho. Sry to say
If you do trips, check out Salzburg. It is probably the most stereotypical Austrian city, but also expensive as hell.

Just learn to ski/snowboard well and don't wave your US flag too much then the locals will like/love you.
