Graz!

I’m here finally!

I arrived around 10 a.m. local time today after around 10 hours of in-air flight time. Right now I am so tired I could fall over and die right now. To avoid the dreaded jet lag (only six hours here) I am trying to stay up as late as possible so I won’t wake up at 4 a.m. fully rested.

My initial take of the city is that it is very busy. In fact, Graz reminds be of Japan because of the intense traffic, billboards everywhere and the foothills geography. In addition, it reminds be of Germany because of the language and culture.

Tomorrow my host is taking me downtown to show me around a bit, so I will hopefully post some photos afterwards.
