Saturday night, 9.00 pm
I have to say that the girl who had this tremendous idea must be a genie. Never ever in my life have I talked in English like a machine. The aim of this speed friending was to meet new friends, as well as donate money, if I’m not mistaken, for the Kinder-Krebs-Hilfe. And the “game” goes like this: there were people who were staying at their “posts” and people who were moving around. For each person we had 4 min to talk to, and when the caw bell rang, we had to change partners. And that’s it!
The atmosphere was fantastic and the people were from all over the Europe: England, Italy, Check Republic and so one and so forth.
I met two Italian guys who have been working here in Austria for a year and who, to my surprise, don’t speak German. Nor did they know anything about Graz, except where the Kunsthaus is. Not even about the Murinsel. Shocking! Irresponsible people (I mean, towards the culture).
And now a funny thing. During a conversation with some English guys, Pia brought up the word unfathomable. They first didn’t quite understand and we thought that it was wrongly pronounced. But no. The word is in English rarely used(according to them) and that’s why they didn’t comprehend it.
