Well I thought I should mention it haha
And of course you live there, your parents are rich and you will get a job at your fathers company.

Just kidding, I have very fun friends from the WU and most of you are quite okay :D But you always have ... strange students there. Lets say strange. But I assume every university has strange students so who cares.

Something that makes me really proud to be austrian is the fact that we are one of the only real neutral countries in the world. We will never participate in wars again, never again will we fight with out neighbors or anyone else. It is part of our constitution and it is part of austrian identity.

I am proud that we learned from our mistakes and realized that war is wrong and only leads to pain and suffering, other countries like the US are yet to learn this important lesson.


Having lived in Europe for almost 10 years, this is probably one of my biggest pet peeves about European Countries. They pat themselves in the back, calling each other oh so civilized because they are not out there waging wars and such. The self delusion is so great that people even ignored genocide like the Bosnian genocide. What is there to be proud of in letting your neighbours slaughtered by the hundreds of thousands ? When the American forces were trying to stop the war, we instead argued about the "legality" of the freakin intervention.

Of course Austria cannot attack its neighbour. It is too weak to do anything like that. Even if you can overwhelm a neighbour, the rest of the NATO will crush you. The applies to pretty much every country in Europe, btw. The economic sanctions and embargoes alone would have brought any European country down in matter of months. With the exception of the balkans, war is pretty much extinct in Western and Central Europe.

Anyways, I just find it funny how the Germans or in this case, Austrians try to spin pacifism that resulted from a string of defeat into a pacifism born of enlightenment. Austria's list of major wars is also a list of major defeats. The lost huge territories against Louis XIV, lost the leadership of the German nations in the seven weeks war, lost their hegenomy of the Italian states and finally they lost in WW1. War has reduced Austria from a Great power and sprawling Empire status to a country of 8 million people.

It might have sounded that I was bashing Austria. But my point is this : Often times defeat in war makes the people less belligirent. Victories drives the victor to be more warlike.
Being a pacifist doesnt mean you are ... enlightened. Being jingoistic doesnt make you manly

I like how the op misses such high points of Austrian history as:

-Forced germanization of slav peoples.
-The germans reaping all the benefits of the empire.
-The empire falling to pices due to such bigotry and nepotism.


Yes the bad stuff is not in there. True story. Keep one fact in mind: every single country/nation/ethnic group on this planet has done something wrong. Some more, some less, but still. Celebrate the good stuff, remember the bad things to ensure they will never happen again.

@OP

Cabaret. Sadly you cannot translate "Gunkl" into english... one of the better ones in my honest opinion.

If you meet the right one`s, of course As everywhere in the world, a lot of Idiots and a lot of very nice people.


And believe me, I did not forget Moneyboy.
As far as I am concerned, he does not exist.

Sorry for not writing at the moment, I really have to study and there are bigger problems right now

Well still sorry, by the time I finish everything people will forget about me ...
And everything I am going to add seems so small compared to the rest .. I cannot compete with myself, what a mournful moment in my history. You win again, past me.

IT IS GOING TO COME, maybe I will just make a second blog in a month. We will see, until that time will come I hope you still like me. Bye.

(Well as soon as I add pictures of the museums to the not finished part about museums, it will be long as well)

Really, "Museums" has even more pictures then the rest .... I will only post again when I am happy with the quality. This mass pictures are not going to solve my no-time problem

Well if anyone actually cares, I finished translating 3/4th of an old essay of mine on austrian political history, up to 1934 it is already in the spoiler Part I.I . If you are one of those who only wait for the second world war, I am only going to talk about the political situation back then. But okay, if you want to know some stuff I am not going to write about, Vienna sent specialists to the SS for "finding, rounding up and organising" jews. You know, because the SS was not effective enough

And I will take my time, just you wait.
Hah.

So I added a new history part and it can be found at the bottom. More detail then you ever wanted to know about the political history of Austria from 1804 to 1945.

I also added some general information and rants, also to be read at the bottom. For you subscribers, maybe you will see it better if there is more than one post next to the blog`s name. Well whatever, this will be it for a long time. Enjoy. Or don`t, it is not written as fun as the other parts.

I just realised that the plural of party is parties. Holy Mackarel ...
I will edit that another day ...

Chances are that only one to five people read this so ...
What do you want to read about ?
Mentality ? Bar culture ? Austria`s handling with/of the EU ? Every mountain by height and availability ?
Think of something, tell me, and I will say nay or yay.

I think I just added the last piece as I have no idea what I should write about anymore. This one is about my education (from 3-18 years, without university) and if anyone actually cares, you should read it. It may be completely different from your country and gives you a good insight about the path of education I took (there are many many different one`s in Austria, but this is mine).

This is it, I have no idea what to write about anymore so .... it was fun, take care.

Hey I got some spare time at my hands and wanted to ask if anyone has some ideas or requests ?
it does not have to be about Austria, I can also write about Europe. For example, I could work through some of the more recent eurostat data or write about the latest developments in the Political and Security Committee ...

If you don't care, I will have to think about something myself
