Our little trip to Italy

From 17th May to 21st May we went to Italy on a Sports- and Cultureweek.

Monday, May 17th:
We left from Perg at 8 o'clock in the morning. In Italy we visited the city Udine. In Udine we had some time to take photographs and to relaxe a bit.
After visiting Udine we drove to Bibione where we got the key for our mobile-home. Before dinner, we went to the sea to take some nice photographs. After dinner we went to Bibione with the teachers and we were allowed to discover the little "city" on our own.

Tuesday, May 18th:
We ♥ Venezia! On Tuesday we had our trip to Venice. We drove about 1.5 hours with the bus. On the port in Venice we waited for our "taxi". On the "Markusplatz" in Venice, Mr. Huber told us a bit about the history of the city. We got a questionnaire about Venice. We got about 3 hours to answer all questions. We discovered Venice on our own and it was very funny :)

Wednesday, May 19th:
Sportsday! :D... In the morning we had a beginners' cours in archery. It was very funny. At midday we had time for ourselve. We went to the beach and relaxed. In the afternoon we did a bicycle-tour in Bibione. We made a break at a beach and it was very nice. Wednesday night there was a disco in our village. The disco was very boring. :D

Thursday, May 20th:In the morning we went to a small fishing village. We went into a fish-restaurant and for me, it was horrible, because I hate fish and the smell of it. At midday we had again some time for ourselve. We went swimming at the sea and we made a "Sand-Man" out of Werner :D ... In the afternoon we did some beach-sport. Evelyn, Kate, Magda, Aida and me chose "Boccia", a hardcore-sport +haha+ ...At night we went to Bibione and drank a good cocktail.


Friday, May 21st:
On friday in the morning we drove home.

Presentation "Let's go green!"

I've just heard a presentation about environment and pollution. I liked the presentation very much, because I think it is very important for all of us to safe our planet and to know, what we can do for saving our planet. Of course, I am already conserving energy at home. At night, I put out all the plugs from the socket and by day, when I'm not watching TV or something like that, I'm trying not to let them run on "Stand-By-Mode".
The girls, who did the presentation, told us about two organisations: Greenpeace and WWF.
I looked at the websites of the two organisations and I am very surprised of them. There is a LOT OF information on it. At the WWF-page I found a point called "What we do". I was very surprised that there are so many things WWF is doing and what they are trying to save our planet.
At the Greenpeace-page I also found the point "What we do". For example, Greenpeace is trying to stop the climate-change.
As for me, there is that much information on the websites that it would take me more than one day to read and remember all the information!

What I learned about the presentation is, that WWF and Greenpeace are very good organisations. In the nearer future, I am trying more and more not to go anywhere by car or by bus. Of course, I am going on with conserving energy at home.

Austrian hotels make European Top 10

I read an article the other day on www.austriantimes.at and it talks about Austrian hotels.
Basically what it says is that three Austrian hotels have been named in a Top 10 ranking in winter sport hotels in Europe.
Place five became the "Interalpen Hotel Tyrol" in Telfs, the "Theresia Gartenhotel" in Saalbach-Hinterglemm became sixth and the seventh place became the "Landhaus zu Appesbach lakeside resort" in Sankt Wolfgang.
Place one became the "Hotel Intercontinental" in Germany.
What surprised me most was the fact that more than 6000 hotel ratings were considered for the listing.

Press Review Austrian dollar millionaires

I read an article the other day on www.austriantimes.at and it talks about the number of Austrian dollar millionaires.

Basically what it says is that the number of Austrian dollar millionaires rose in 2008, while the number of dollar millionaires fell in most other countries.

A study said, that the USA had most millionaires, followed by Japan, China, Germany and the UK.

What surprised me most was the fact that one million dollars is the equivalent of over 680.000 Euros.

Words:
equivalent of (entspricht): It's another word for "the same as".

dollar millionaires (Dollar-Millionäre): These people would be millionaires in the USA.
