Here is a list of extra things I got to do when I was in Austria, a summery of sorts.
I visited two ice caves (one being the worlds largest). Went to Czech Republic for half a day. Attended Donauinsel Fest 2008 (large open air music event, lots of stages), I went hang gliding, attended and worked at the World Plowing Contest. I played around at Ares Elctonica Center in Linz. I visited other family members and saw more areas of Austria. I attended many of festivals in the towns I stayed in. I participated in a 50th birthday (huge b-day party it went all night). I saw and visited some castles, meet several Landjugend members (they all kick ass), attended a garden party hosted by a Landjugend club, went go-cart racing (very different),
I saw different forms of traditional dance, wore traditional clothing, went to dance practice with Landjugend club. I got to know train system, go to know many different towns and cities. I went on a pocket knife tour and made my own, drove a few times (both standard & automatic), meet and spent time with a Canadian family (who doesn’t love relatives that live in another country).
I ate lots of ice cream and sweets, got to have a cat sit on my shoulder. I slept in 11 different places/beds, feed a wild bird, saw the movie Mama-Mia in German in the Theater. I went on a few hikes, saw many glaciers, attended a funeral, attended a priest last service (lots of people attended).
I help make wedding invitations, went bowling (had troubles with the foul line), went to Empire (largest dance club in Austria), and so many other memories and events. I love Austria, and the people. I have many great memories from my time there.
