As an international teacher, I get the opportunity to lift myself from one fishbowl and deposit myself in another. Although airplanes make traversing the planet a matter of time and money rather than physics, I am not so sure our genetics have caught up to our technology.
But even while sleep-deprived it is easy to see the grandeur, the cleanliness, the organization, the accessibility, and the incredible beauty of Vienna. After the slate and concrete of Shanghai, the majestic old trees and the green spaces augment the crisp, clean air and the blue skies. The ceilings are three to four meters high and the architecture gives the city a regal carriage unlike anywhere else I’ve ever been — and I’ve been to a lot of places.
Stay tuned for more as I get to know the city better. To teach music in Vienna is a dream, and I definitely have not woken up yet…
