Graz

At 3 am we finally arrived at our hostel in Graz.

As soon as we checked in, we fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Maria moved in with us. She attended a reading by her favorite author Galsan Tschinag in Graz, whose nomad family she has visited 4 times in Mongolia.

Then we explored the area. The stores close here around 6 pm (on Saturdays), except for a Spar at the train station. At 10 pm, the last snack bars are also closed - except Mc Donalds (which is open until 11 pm). In Austria, you can order various burgers and wraps in a vegetarian version at the latter one called 'Make it veggie'.

The next day we went to the theater. We really tried to dress nicely, but couldn't avoid wearing motorcycle and rain jackets, hiking pants, and I even wore sneakers. At least I had a lipstick on. :P

The play was called 'The Moon Man' and it was really amazing!

The day after, Mei from Hong Kong moved in with us - a very sweet and lovely woman. We had a long conversation with her about China, Hong Kong, and Europe.
