Greetings from the United States! Have you ever heard of a tradition called Taco Tuesday? Today was really exciting, because my classmates and I actually got to experience our very first Taco Tuesday.
At 17:30 we met at Greenfield Inn, a cozy historic bed and breakfast, run by a local family. They set up a taco bar for us, where we could build our own dinner and get drinks. We started with either a soft- or hard taco shell and then loaded them up with chicken, beans, guacamole, cheese, and vegetables. Since everything was so good, we of course had to try a few different combinations.
After finishing our fantastic food, we took a short walk through the neighborhood to look at the Halloween decorations. In Austria, Halloween is a pretty small holiday, but here it is a huge deal. Almost every house has glowing pumpkins, spooky figures, or at least some sort of decoration. My highlight was definitely the fully decorated house, including a giant pirate ship.
It is very interesting to see how different life and traditions here are. I'm having a great time trying new foods and exploring the culture with my class, and I can't wait to see what else we will experience during the rest of our exchange.
-Mario
