Vienna, Austria ☮

I got an email from my first host family a few days ago..I found out I'm going to Vienna, the capital of Austria, where there are about 2 million inhabitants. I've never been around that many people before. I can't even imagine that many people living in one place. So here's pretty much everything I know right now: I'm going to be staying near the center of the city. My host mother emailed me to tell me about their family. First off, all of their childrens' birthdays are in November, and they have two 14.5 year old twin boys, Andreas & Thomas, and two girls, Katharina, 16.5 years old, and Johanna, 17.5 years old. The mother is Irene, and she's 44 years old, working as a practitioner. The father is Christian, 46 years old, and works as a surgent in a nearby hospital. The family prefers to use public transportation, walk, or ride bicycles, rather than driving in the car. This exchange is starting to feel real now!!!
