Draven_Firewolf Posted April 19, 2014 Report Posted April 19, 2014 From my vist in 2000 I recall beautiful mountains, my friends homemade apple/pear schnapps, fast electric go carts, schnapps, mountain top paragliding, Weiss bier, quiet mountain towns with friendly people, more schnapps, then things get a little fuzzy !

StarWarsTom[TK] Posted January 15, 2015 Report Posted January 15, 2015 I always read mountains mountains mountains. Big parts of Austria are flat. I come from the wine quarter in lower Austria (next to Vienna). We're famous for white wine (Grüner Veltliner DAC which is famous for his pepper flavour), wine cellars (next to my village there is the biggest wine cellar in middle europe), pumpkin festivals and Blasmusik. You don't know what Blasmusik is? - here it is: You like white wine and stay in Vienna? - let me know. 50min from Vienna you can taste different white wine sorts and eat "a gscheite Bretljausn" (brown bread, bacon, emmentaler, smoked meat with mustard and horseradish).

iconoclasta_88[501st] Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 I love Austria. Was there several times during 2003-2004. Was kindof seeing and austrian girl at the time. Awesome beautiful country. Nice people, great beer, amazing places both man made and nature, love the coffehouses in Vienna, the chocolate, and most of the food... Was lucky enough to stay with a family on the country side on the Southern part in a small village on the mountains during winter. Awesome! Cool snowboarding, hicking and sledding. Hope I can visit the country again sometime. Saludos. Oh, and hot wine on the christkindmarkets (sp?) on xmas. Quote

StarWarsTom[TK] Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVikZ8Oe_XA Great Song - Great Musician. Even after his death every few years new Falco songs have been released. It seems that each found tape will be reused. Here is the current "Falco" chart breaker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OiNv9z8V6o Quote
Dday[501st] Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 I keep seeing 'AUSTRALIA' each time I scroll past...... I was exactly the same! I had see it for a while now but only today saw that Sonnenschein posted it, and I thought WTF why is she posting about Australia... then I read it again. That's my Dyslexia kicking in. I read the first 3 letters and know what word it is already. Doesn't work all the time though. Quote
StarWarsTom[TK] Posted April 8, 2015 Report Posted April 8, 2015 A little help to find our small country http://www.501st.com/members/garrisonglance.php?garrisonId=62 Quote
Sonnenschein Posted April 8, 2015 Author Report Posted April 8, 2015 This thread is still going on?!?! LOL! Mountains, SoM, wine and Falco. That's about it. I had see it for a while now but only today saw that Sonnenschein posted it, and I thought WTF why is she posting about Australia... then I read it again. I was going to post about AustrALia, because it participates in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 in Vienna, Austria. I still don't know why. Quote

At least Australia is part of the British commonwealth. Quote
Dark PWF[Staff] Posted April 8, 2015 Report Posted April 8, 2015 You are missing and I and A at the end of Austria and you don't have kangaroos Good riddance to this, too. Ruffians, they are. No Kangaroos in Austria. That's a winning tourist slogan right there! Quote
Sonnenschein Posted April 8, 2015 Author Report Posted April 8, 2015 Actually, we do have some kangaroos.... in the zoos @Locitus: I didn't know about Israel. But this years's motto is "Building Bridges", after all 1 Quote
