Thank you! Same to you...Im enjoying the weekend :-)

I can't wait to meet you in person. It's going to take me a couple of years but I want to finish and publish my book, and then travel, teaching the subject of WMD Hazmat for Patient Care. Do you think Austria is ready for me? lol Talk to you soon my friend, take care and stay safe,

The wife and I found "Kommisar Rex" a couple of years ago. It is shown on Australian TV in German with English subtitles. My Swiss mates tell me not to learn Austrian German! Not that I speak any. I think the only word I've learned is "wursti" (ham roll).

I do love the Gluvine! My first encounter was on a cold morning in Zurich at a street festival. Nothing like a cup of hot spiced wine with rum at 10am to chase away to cold! How the heck you guys are so efficient with a couple of glasses of that on board is beyond me.

Ha! Now I have to visit Austria! To be honest, all I know about the place is from watching "Kommisar Rex" on the tele.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas! I do miss the gluvine...

Thank you! I was able to spend several weeks working in Zurich knowing only a dozen or so phrases.

I look forward to visiting Austria one day. I've changed planes in Vienna, but that's about it. Now when I go their, I'll be able to order a cold one!

Prosit! (I admit, I looked up the Austrian spelling)

Guten tag, mate! (that's all the German I know..oh, wait: "Ein pils bitte!")

Good to hear from you. Stay safe!

Thanks for the Friend Request. I know he was born in Graz, but I am not sur eif he lived there until he parents brought him over here.

Welcome to the network. My father in law is from Austria, although he was vary young when he came here, so he doesn't remember much from there.
