Austria Differences

Windows and doors have no screens, and they have 3 positions 1 locked 2 door open along the hinge, and 3 open only at the top and lean inside, very cool Compost and recycle, they really divide things up differently here. I have found out it is different from area to area. Compost everything except bones. They recycle all paper, including napkins. Plastic, all kinds no limit.
Dishwashers are smaller here, but have 3 trays, big for pots pans and dishes, small one for cups and glasses, and a tiny one on top for silverware. Very nice. Refrigerator is kept at a warmer temperature. Toilet and sink are in different rooms, toilet paper is rectangle and not square shaped. Still getting use to the different temperature readings: Celsius and not Fahrenheit. Keyboard, biggest problem is y is down by x and z is between t and u.

They wear separate shoes for everything, inside, outside, working in mud/dirt, hiking/biking, going to town or to work. I´m use to wearing shoes for attire and leaving them on where ever I go. My first bed isvery small, no bed sheets and 1 comforter folded in half, I might be using it wrong, but I have just 1 more night and then a new house so I´ll see how it is there.
