Day 27

So last night, I met up with Sarah (who by the way is from Australia), and we just hung out in the inner city. Then today we had a really busy day, she ended up bringing another Australian girl with her, named Cara. We went to the naschmart, and checked out the fleamarket, and then we went on the tour of Shloß Shönbrunn, which was really neat. Way expensive, but cool. I really have to start watching my money closely. Although I have money in my account, I couldn't get money out of the atm tonight, I think it is because the bankmachine didn't have a plus symbol or something, and the one that does is out of order.
Anways back to Shönbrunn. There is some major history that happened there. For example one of the rooms was where Karl the first, the last Hapsburg ruler abidicated the throne at the end of WWI. In another room Mozart performed a conzert for the empress Maria Theresia and then jumped up and kissed her. There is also a room where Neopoleon stayed. Even he was related to the Hapsburgs by marriage, but he had control of Vienna or something I forget. Meh.
I went and got a train schedule today and asked about the price, and the guy told me almost 170€, but Helga told me it would only be around 60-70€ for a sleeping car, I am going to go on Monday and ask about the sleeping car. I have been told I can get a ticket for as low as 140€, if I buy this card thingy, but I think it's worth it if I save almost 30€. You can't get student prices on trains apparently, because I have been asking and there is no student prices. Ugh! I don't think Helga is entirely with it. Honestly. I may not even see her before I go. Great supervision. I don't know how I am supposed to return her keys, and pay for rent if I don't see her. She still hasn't said how much she wants, and she told me to look into the prize of a student room, but I don't have the first clue where to start. Crazy.
I haven't decided when I am leaving, but if I take the night train, I will leave Thursday, and if I take the day train I will leave Friday. I may go to Bratislavia, Slovakia on Monday for the day with Cara, I will have to look at finances first. It is like 35€ round trip. Sarah is leaving for Budapest on Monday, and I think Cara is leaving on Tuesday or something like that. Cara is going to Canada in February to work somewhere on the west coast for 6 mths to a year.
Tommorow I am going back to Shönbrunn to the zoo because for an Akin group thing. So that's what's going on in my world. There is kid playing really loud music from a cellphone, and it is driving me nuts. I so could not be a teacher, no patience, Cara is a teacher. It will be so nice in Paris when I don't have to pay for internet access. Internet cafes suck.
