As I put myself up as a Total Immersion Theory subject, there are several factors which I have not highlighted in the study and severe cultural hindrances that may have been overlooked. The first factor would be the extremely low temperatures during winter which may not be conducive for 'immersion' in a regular day-to-day situation. With the help of amazing friends here, I have always been a part of the social-circle with ease. I find myself in the presence of young,educated Austrians in their mid-20s in the midst of spending a fantastic evening out in town. It came as a shock for me to find almost all businesses (except restaurants)cease operations after six and nothing is open during Sundays. Only one mall exists in the entire city :EUROPARK. My first snow angel, in Salzburg Having a touristy moment at St Gilgen, Salzburg Amazing friends celebrating Silvester at the State Bridge, Salzburg Cottage/cabin style houses at the mountain on the way to Gaisberg!...

SNOW!!! I woke my flatmates with this excitement. This was the first time I have seen snowfall. I was exhilarated and completely thrown off the fact that this soft white stuff is now falling from the sky. So that what happens when the rain falls under zero degrees! Cool!
