Grüß Gott

That is the most popular greeting here - God greets you!

As I come from a country with the biggest Jesus on the planet, that little say hi should not be nothing unfamiliar, but it is. Everywhere: in shops, on streets, in trams, buses, swimming pools, restaurants and at Apple Premium Reseller store they greet with Grüß Gott. The bored and tired neighboor living few flats below me greets me with God and the young foreign women in McDonald's greet me with Him/Her.

And here it is - Christmas! Just right after the Linzer Torte shopping festival there is another - Christmas, Christmas, mas y mas Christmas. Buy this, buy that! Don't have a Christmas tree at home yet? Whatever! Buy Christbaumkugeln! ...and they will last for more than a month.

Here in small Linz Christmas on the streets, I must say, is just beautiful. The main street - Landstrasse is decorated and there are two Christmas markets. On each of them something really Linzig can be bougth or eaten. The aroma between the markets' booths makes you want to spend your last 3 euros for something. I didn't, but I surely will and will inform you how good it was!
