26-01-2020... Sigh, it went a bit very wrong... (Austria, day 7)
And then I wake up a little late. In half an hour, I should get out of my room. But I feel that I don't have to hurry. And I won't. I don't know which way I'd be heading right now, and I'd see. A plan would have been better today, because it was going to be a weird day. After saying goodbye to the kittens and the pubertal dog, I decided to follow the road further up, which, as you read in my previous blog, just stopped. End of Austria. There was still a restaurant and cross-country skiing trails. But it wasn't really busy. Well, it's good.
I decide to have a cup of coffee and the girl who stood behind the counter once asked what it was like for her, as a young girl, to grow up in this country. What does she do? Well, like all the answers I've received from other Austrians before, not much. Walking, walking with the dogs, walking with her boyfriend and skiing. What about in the summer? Walking. How do you meet people your age, except in school? She looks at me a little timidly, because I think she's a little shy and getting around with her peers is kind of complicated, I think. Her boyfriend is from Slovakia and met them at work. Aren't you going to a bar or a disco? Is there even? No, no. She does not come further than a stube that closes at 22:00 (with luck). And that's not really something for young people either.
Do you have a lot of organized parties? Well, neither is it.
For me, it comes down to being young in Austria outside the big cities is deadly boring. When I think of what I've done in my youth, and not that that's the way of life, but it sounds more varied and with more choices than the youth here. In my next life I want to grow up in the Netherlands and then move to Austria. So, like now, if it weren't, that I didn't move because I'm a wuss. I hope someday to get the resources and the guts to take the step.
So the adoption plan remains in place. 👍😉
