Das Schloss

Schloss in German means castle. The building seen in the picture is called the Schloss Premstätten. The foundation of this castle was laid by the knights of Premstätten in 1164. Today, this castle is being used an office by the company that I now work for. So they say that there's actually a lot of history in our workplace. Sana lang walang mga "mumu". Hehe.

As you can see, snow has already started to fall here and the temperature has further dropped to as low as -6°C. My mother thinks that this might be the earliest winter she has ever experienced in her 15 years here. I hope that it won't be the longest though. Right now I'm still enjoying the cold weather but I just don't know for how long.

Ich bin hier!

It has been more than a week since my arrival here in Austria. So far so good. The picture above shows the bed portion of the hotel room where I am currently staying at. I'll be staying here until I find a place of my own. It's pretty convenient since the hotel is only 10 minutes away from the office on foot. My only problem is that during that 10 minute walk, I become exposed to the cold weather. Already, the temperature has dropped to as low as 2°C since I arrived and it is expected to get colder in the weeks to come. Brrr!
