However, I was working there, which was a real pleasure. I got to know loads of interesting people and had also the chance to practise my English by talking to people from all over the world. When it came to the explanation of a “Verhackerbrot”, I sometimes had hard struggles,but nevertheless the foreigners were able to understand what I was trying to tell them-more or less. The product which everybody was aware of was the “Schnaps”, a clear type of fruit brandy and its different variations (plum-, pear-, apricot-Schnaps). So, next time check it out yourself. Try all the specalities of the Styrian cuisine and regio.It's really worth going there.
See ya next year!
