Vienna
In mid-March, I traveled to Vienna for a week because I had been there once before, but only for three days, and I had always wanted to go back for more days so that I could explore at a leisurely pace the things I couldn't see during my previous visit. One of my friends from school had come to Vienna on a six-month exchange program, so it was the perfect excuse to go. We walked around the city center and visited the cathedral inside and out. Then we went to St. Peter's Church, which was quite impressive and I hadn't seen it the last time. We went to Haus der Musik, which I really liked, an interactive music museum that also explained the most important composers who lived or passed through Vienna. We learned several interesting facts about music and sound, such as that turtles don't hear the same frequencies as us and therefore don't hear anything we hear. There was also an orchestra driving simulator, and at the entrance, there was a staircase that was a piano that sounded with every step.
Another attraction I had in mind was the Tiergarten, the world's most ancient Zoo, located in the garden of the Schönbrunn Palace. It was very beautiful, and they gave us a list of the times when they fed certain animals, so we started by watching the elephants, who were bathed and trained to shake hands and pose. Then we saw the seals jumping and doing tricks. After that, we saw the Humboldt penguins being fed fish. The otters and anteaters were the other animals we saw being fed. We saw many animals, including rare jellyfish with lights, giant fish, huge crickets, exotic stick insects, sloths, pandas, tigers, lions, polar bears, cheetahs, hippos, and rhinos. They were all very well taken care of, and it was impressive how close you could get to all the animals.
Another thing on my list in Vienna was to attend a concert because Vienna is the place to go for good shows. Therefore, I bought tickets in advance to see Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" on ancient instruments at the famous Karlskirche, and it was impressive to be inside that beautiful building while listening to the concert. Additionally, I love musicals, and I found tickets for Notre Dame, which was amazing. The choir left us with goosebumps, and the singers were simply extraordinary, as was the scenery, especially the bells that appeared and rang for real.
Salzburg
During my trip to Austria, I took advantage of the opportunity to visit Salzburg for a day. We went to the house where Mozart was born and saw his first violin and learned a lot about his history. Afterward, we took the FestungsBahn to get up to the Hohensalzburg fortress, which was interesting, and the view of the city was very beautiful. Inside the fortress, there were several small museums about the fortress itself and about Salzburg that were very interesting. Then, we wandered around the center of the city, visiting the remaining sites such as the catacombs embedded in the mountain. Finally, we went to Mozart's house, where we were able to learn about his work and all the amazing pieces he wrote. It was a beautiful day in Salzburg.
Ketaway
On the last weekend of March, my "Environmental Management" master's program and the "Sustainability, Society, and the Environment" master's program had our "get to know trip" in a house in Neumunster. This is a tradition in Germany where, at the beginning of a new academic program, students go on a trip for a few days to get to know each other. I was part of the organization of this trip along with a friend. In the morning, we arranged things for breakfast, which reminded me of the volunteer work I used to do in Chile, preparing breakfast for over 40 people and simply talking to whoever crossed my path. Although I already knew several people, I spent the whole day getting to know new people, which was very entertaining. Lunch and dinner were organized and cooked by small groups that wanted to contribute. Since both master’s programs are sustainability-related, many of the students are vegans or vegetarians, so the meals were also plant-based, and everything they cooked was delicious. We play a lot of games and made a bonfire, there I played the ukulele while a friend improvised the lyrics, while others were eaten marshmallows or Stockbrot (bread on a Stick). It was a very relaxed yet enjoyable getaway, and I met many interesting and friendly people with whom I hadn't had a chance to talk before.
