Baden bei Wien

I love Vienna. But sometimes you need to get away.

 

I come from the Pacific Northwest, which is (in my opinion) one of the most beautiful parts of the United States. I love my home because of the year-round greenery, and easy access to beautiful places in nature. When my friend invited me to go hiking in the Wienerwald near Baden bei Wien, I was so excited. I love going on nature walks, and have been missing the fresh air and empty space, which are hard to find living in a big city. 

The Rudolfina Redoute

The first time I learned about Viennese Ball culture, I was rehearsing for an opera that takes place at one. My university produced “Die Fledermaus” during my sophomore year. “Die Fledermaus” is a traditional Viennese operetta, and after living in Vienna for a month, I can say it is also culturally iconic for the city. The composer, Johann Strauss, was majorly important in the development of Viennese Waltz music, and to this day Viennese youth learn to dance so they can attend balls in the city. 

The Dutch monetary unit is the euro (€). The euro functions similarly to the US dollar in that it is subdivided into 100 cents. There are eight-euro coins denominated in 2 and 1 euros, then 50, 20, 10, 5, 2, and 1 cents. In the Netherlands, 1- and 2-euro cents are not used. Each euro coin has a common European face and a face designed by each monetary member EU state. All coins can be used in every monetary member EU country. There are seven-euro notes which are differently sized and colored, and come in denominations of 500, 200, 100, 50, 20, 10, and 5. The notes, unlike the coins, do not...
It is impossible to define a "typical" Dutch person. You will meet many types of people in the Netherlands who have different opinions, attitudes, and habits. The more you interact with Dutch people, the more likely you are to form lasting relationships with them and better understand their culture. During these interactions, use common sense and a sense of objectivity. Be prepared to discuss your views freely and openly, and try to listen with an open mind. You may arrive in the Netherlands with some preconceptions about the Dutch and may encounter some Dutch people with preconceptions about...
