Today we had our first breakfast at the dorm (a breakfast buffet is provided for us seven days a week from 7-9 am.) It was a typical Austrian breakfast, which, to Americans, is more akin to lunch. An Austrian breakfast consists of sandwiches with meats and cheeses and vegetables (almost always cucumbers, bell peppers, and tomatoes [and sometimes radishes.]) However, they do have butter and jams out, in case you prefer that to meats and cheeses, and have cereals as well (although cereals here are served with hot milk rather than cold.) They also serve coffee, tea, cacao (what they call hot chocolate) and juices with breakfast.
At around 10 or so I went to practice for a while, and then in the early afternoon we had “auditions” for the voice faculty, which was basically a chance to familiarize them with our voices, etc. The voice teacher assignments should be posted soon.
This evening, my friend Katie (also from UMiami) and I went to a restaurant outside of town (closer to our dorm than Salzburg proper). We wandered through the large garden behind the dorm and down the road to see what options were available, and stopped at one when we were eventually starving. It was an extremely odd restaurant in that it served both Italian and Thai cuisine. It was not a fusion of the two, but rather just served some Italian dishes and some Thai dishes. Strange as it was, the food was fine and affordable, so all in all, a nice evening.
Bedtime now! Goodnight all!
