WEEK 2: VIENNA & FRIENDS

Hi, it’s Jules with another blog in Prague! Last weekend, my roomies and I took our first weekend trip together to the beautiful city of Vienna in Austria. After classes this week, my friends from Michigan flew in from all over to visit me in Prague, giving me my first taste of home since my study abroad started. Let’s jump in with a few pictures from Vienna first. 

We got so lucky with the weekend that we visited Vienna because it fell during the annual Summer Orchestra Concert at Schonbrunn Palace and the Vienna Pride Parade. We bought a Eurail train pass, so we took a 4 hour high speed train early Friday morning. On Friday, we visited the Belvedere Palace and museum where we observed the infamous painting “The Kiss” by Gustav Klimt. Following our art expedition, we checked into our hostel. It was my first time staying in a hostel, and it was definitely an experience! I loved being able to meet travelers from all over the world and being given so many great recommendations by the hostel. The Summer Orchestra Concert occurred on Friday night, and it was nothing short of magnificent. From the orchestra conductor’s passion to the color-changing light show, we were all mesmerized by the production and beauty of the concert in the garden of the palace. 

On Saturday, my friends and I explored the city of Vienna and joined in walking in the Pride Parade for a little bit. The vibes and food were amazing. After a full day of shopping and touring, we headed to a bar called Travel Shack, one of our hostel’s recommendations, and met so many people traveling around Europe. We even met a group of guys visiting Vienna that weekend who were also studying in Prague and live just one block away from our apartment. On Sunday, we had a peaceful day of brunch and views before training back home to Prague. I think one of the only downsides of Vienna was the price. Compared to Prague, Vienna is definitely more expensive. 

My week of classes felt familiar and flew by. I explored a few good study spots this week, including the National Library of the Czech Republic and Cafe Du. My favorite Golden City class expedition this week was the trip to Baroque churches, especially the Church of Our Lady Victorious. Thanks to the help of my roomies and TikTok recipes, I’ve improved my cooking skills in the kitchen. My roomies and I typically make breakfast in the mornings separately but cook together for dinner.

I had special guests in Prague this week: a couple friends from the University of Michigan! Two of them flew in from the Bay Area on Wednesday before heading to London for study abroad. Another one flew in from Madrid, where she’s studying abroad through LSA. I got to re-explore more of Prague with them, check off restaurants that have been on my “want-to-go” list, and give them a taste of Prague’s nightlife. I will forever keep the memories of my dining out experiences with them. Here’s a short highlight from our sushi dinner: I asked our server if the restaurant served hand rolls; both the server and chef had never heard of them before; using pictures found online and a list of ingredients they had gotten from me, the chef made me a spicy tuna hand roll for the first time for free!; and I (of course) had to give them a glowing 5 star review. 

My special visitors!!! && Custom spicy tuna hand roll.

Anyways, my week here has been such a blast. I can’t even begin to think about moving back to America again. I feel so lucky to have had such a fun weekend in Vienna and to have such incredible friends from school who came to visit my life here. And next weekend, it’s my turn to walk in the shoes of my friend who’s studying abroad in Madrid! I’ll catch you guys next week with another blog!
