Arriving in Vienna

The sky over Cleveland! Auf Wiedersehen!
... took quite a while. I flew first into JFK, where I met my flight buddy, Kim (we had coordinated flights through the IES Vienna group on Facebook). We had dinner (which the waitress insisted I take with me), and boarded Jet Airways (an Indian airline, destined for Chennai after its stop in Brussles).

It was a nice airline. The stewards gave us cold towels to wash with before the plane took off (novel for me), and the in-flight entertainment was pick-your-own games and movies. I ended up watching (what I'm guessing was) a highly bowdlerized version of The Full Monty as well as playing a few hours worth of Tetris. :)

I had Palak Paneer for dinner, and it wasn't bad! :P No food sickness.

Liechtensteinstraße

I've just moved in to my apartment. I have lots of pictures to upload and stories to tell, but my roommates and I have to get up and register ourselves as legal Viennese residents at the local registration office before our first German class tomorrow, so... I'll just leave you with this (from the place where we had our orientation):

Tada

I made it!

We have an orientation retreat for the next few days, so... there will probably be no news until Sunday or Monday.
