University Ball

Last Friday (19th of January) there was our University's ball taking place in the "Brucknerhaus". Since I've already heard some complaints about me not publishing some pictures - I won't let you wait any longer ;)

Unfortunately I am still not that familiar with my camera - so the faces look very pale in most of the photos... Assuming that all girls are (at least a bit) vain *gg* I will only show the photos where this is not the case ;)

Happy new year

Yes I know I should have done this a little earlier... but now there is time to wish you all the best for this year!!!
Yesterday I have already talked to Nestor about habits to celebrate the new year. He told me about the "doce uvas" (12 grapes) in Spain where you have to eat one grape at each stroke of the clock at midnight.
In Austria some people heat up a soft metal (lead) until it melts and then poor it into cold water - they believe that the shape of the metal then tells them something about their future within the next year.
Well - that was not what we did - but we did have good fun ;)
Cheers

Yes - there is snow in Austria

Since Audrey-Laure told me that there is still no good snow in France I consider it to be my responsibility to tell you all: Yes - there is enough snow in Austria for skiing. And to proove it there are some fotos of the 30th of December (2006) where I went to Flachau (nice skiing area in the middle auf Austria) with some friends.
And - as U can C - there was still some time for partying afterwards ;)
