Austria 2000

I spent the period between the 9th of June and the 23rd of July in Leoben-Austria, doing my practical summer training in MontanUniversitat Leoben. I was nominated by the Engineering department at AUC for this internship. I was a research assistant in the department of physical metallurgy and materials testing. These pics are my nice memories of the beautiful Austria! :)

Vienna
Vienna is the capital of Austia. I spent about 6 days in Vienna, during the weekends, and on my arrival. It is the best city in Europe I think!

Schloss Schonn Brun

My photo in the Schloss Schonn Brun, the beatiful fountain palace, which used to be the house of the Kaiser Franz Josef and Empress Sisi.
How nice is the graden of the palace!
Me and Raul in the Schonn Brun
Maria Theresa Square
Saying hi, in front of the Austrian Parliament
Beside Goethe himself
To go anywhere in Vienna, it is recommended to use the tram lines! In this photo, I was saying: "Quickly Raul..the door is gonna close!!"
One of the nice gardens in Vienna!

Leoben
Leoben is a small city in Styria. One day I went to the mountains, and took this cool photo.
You can see the river Mur, the mountains (right), the steel factories (middle), and the city (right). This photo is actually two photos added together!
But before leaving the mountains, Enric had to take a photo for myself first! :)
Still, I returned back to the mountains before I leave Austria.
You see the greenery..the mountain..the sky..the clouds..and mizo with the shorts! :)
You can see the mines in the mountain, and the nice view!
WHAT A MAD LOOK!!! :)
