Back in beautiful SoCal. Life is good.

Holler. Just thought I would make a few post trip comments and observations, maybe post a couple of pic's... you know, the usual. Overall, great experience. Learned a lot, about music, myself, other people and life in a foreign country. The city of Graz, well it was okay. Not my favorite. My favorite? Vienna!! What a cool city, so cool that I think I might be moving there... soon, like within the next 6 months. Like I said, life is good! For now I'll be living it up SoCal style, so for all of you achin' for a little nice weather (warmer or cooler, depending on where you're coming from) and chillaxin' stop by! I'll be here, lord knows my broke ass ain't going anywhere for a while...

Also, I have to say thank you to all of you who helped me get there (and back!), including um, every person who reads this blog. You all fuckin' rock, this program was what I needed to have been doing this summer and thanks to you all for talking me into going and then helping me cover the costs... amazing!

Let me know what you think... should I keep this thing going? I'm still not sure about the blog concept, but in some respects it's a way to stay in touch and pretend like I'm talking to all the cool people I don't live around anymore (except Leslie, Jason and Tanya... they're cool people I actually get to talk to in person!).

Love you all,

Nishi

Yeah, pretty sure this is what got me through school everyday!

My 'lady friends' who accompanied me to Hallstatt. This is us all freezing our booties off
at the train station, rockin' various Nishi scarves.

There ya go Nathan, the Nishi Sweater in action... above Graz on the Schlossberg.

What!? Could it be? Do my eyes deceive me or is that Lolo and Jaime in Vienna!?
Why yes it is... because I have kick ass friends like that!

A little Laurnish action in Vienna... they never knew what hit 'em.

I have a Temmel problem.

Okay, so out here in Austria, well not just Austria but Graz specifically, they make this ice cream called Charly Temmel. It's like crack. Does Nishi normally like ice cream? Well, it's OK... but does she crave it and power walk through cobblestone streets for Charly Temmel? You can bet your ass I do. Hmmmmm, Temmel. Good news (just in case you were worried I might suffer from withdrawals when I get home), they only other location in the world where they sell Temmel outside of Graz is in LA. Does this improve Hell-A's overall score?... oh my god yes, by like a million points!
