Well, it took me long enough to get this blog started, but I still feel like I am settling in here in Vienna. I arrived on Sunday, February 4th and stayed in the Westend Hostel up near the Westbahnhof train station. After a week, I finally found a good sized apartment in an excellent location, but the only catch was that it was unfurnished.Here's a picture of the entrance into the apartment.
It's in an older building, but the entire place has been updated and we were able to get internet no problem. Oh yeah, I guess I should mention that I have a roommate named Toby from Cologne who is studying medicine here in Vienna.
The kitchen is the place where we usually hang out, and it is a pretty good size with all of the usual appliances. I know, the kitchen is dirty, but that's because I actually have time to cook right now! Sorry I couldn't get a better picture of the kitchen, but the angles were difficult.
I bought the basics at IKEA for my bedroom, but eventually I'm going to buy a small used sofa and more shelves and storage. Overall, it is a really large sized bedroom with ceilings around 12 ft tall (or 4 meters I guess!), although I had a really tough time trying to get a good angle for a picture. To answer your question in advance Mom, yes, those are 2 different color curtains and we did that on purpose.Now that I finally have my blog started, I am going to try to add posts at least 3 to 4 times per week with pictures of Vienna, the people I meet here, and from any other traveling I do while I'm here. Keep in touch everyone!

Hello John, FELICIDADES!!! Place looks great, hope everthing goes smoothly with your "research",jeje. Salutations from Tampico.
Hey John, Nice work on the blog. Keep us up to date on the concert scene so we can live vicariously through your listening experiences. And watch out for the Strassenbahn when jaywalking...Best, Colin
ikea rules ... i hope u get some viennese accent[s] going.
We like the looks of your place and are glad that you're back to cooking. Learn some local recipes to use if we come to visit.
Love you, son.

The nice thing about the "IKEA BUS" is that it's free to get there, but you have to pay to get back! ;)
Hi John. Good looking blog!! I like the black background. Look forward to seeing more photos next time. What does Toby look like? ;)
Hi John:
I hope (I know) that you are doing fine over there. It seems like the musical environment is exceptional. Do you have a telephone number? And by the way my e-mail adress is sondeclave18@hotmail.com Myunt e-mail adress do not work any more. Recieve from me a candid hug.

John, being a music theorist I understand your perfectionist view on the "not so great pics"...but the pictures look great! Cheers!
