I love Austria. It's so pretty! The train ride to Vienna involved passing through forests, mountains/hills, and little towns. It was very pretty. And! We passed by Salzburg <3 br="" i="" love="" salzburg.="">
Vienna is amazing. Very clean and very pretty. We just wandered from our hostel around the area and we covered a lot of ground already.

Sachertorte. OMG. It was amazing. Best thing ever. We had it at the Sacher Cafe at Sacher Hotel. It's so pretty!

Speaking of hostel, our hostel is great. It's very clean (I believe it might be new), the room is huge AND we have our ow bathroom. So cool! It's next to Naschmarkt, which is a market with food booths and on Saturdays it's a flea market.

Tonight, we got to watch a Mozart concert at the State Opera House. It's amazing! It was the first opera house in the world (an actual theater for opera). We scored box seats! It was neat. We were almost above the stage. None of that sitting with the crowd business LOL! I love being a student, you always get discounts hahaha. The concert was great, it was members of the Vienna Philharmonic.

I got schnitzel with noodle from a food stall outside the Opera. It's literally schnitzel with noodle--chow mein. It's was ok--the schnitzel was good, noodles were meh.
