Jill Rees: Welcome Press

I have come to Austria via canterbury the last place God made. Everyone there seems very rude almost without exception, and the landlady of the guest house was absolutely pertrifying. it was very quiet as no one dared to move and tiptoed around. Met a great musician called Catherine Morgan who is young but I am sure we will hear more of her and she has her own web page.

The flight was ok and the landing in gale force winds interesting, with the cabin crew sounding anxious. The trains were all being refurbished so it was a mess and a group of children were running up and down the carriages which made me feel right at home. At Vienna Sudbahnhof I ate a delicious pizza, and remembered there are loads of Turks in Austria so good kebabs. Had a delicious strong cafe in cafes where you can still smoke! We finally got on the right train to Neusidl am See and noisy voices in English turned out to be my friend Amanda!!! We are working together for the first week, teaching Englihs for English in Action. They are a well organised company and the course is really good, interesting, culminating in a project and a show on the Friday. I’m really enjoying it. I have eaten school dinners but they are very nice. One day Austrians will find out about vegetables. Everyone is very polite but there is such a good lifestyle here. Next week I’m in Vienna and look forward to visiting art museums and such.
