Haha, typical of foreigner, flocking together with other foreigners and never meeting locals. Locals also have their doors very shut. I'm neither here in Belgium to befriend foreigners who are excited of being here in boring Belgium. Their enthusiasm of this grey country alienates me.
I'm friendly to foreigners, don't get me wrong. However, it's true, foreigners look at a country through a different scope because everything feels new to them.

Never actually thought about Austria, but if I had to choose some place to live there it would be either a village or a small town.
no, bad weather

Austria is a shit hole one of the most brain dead people in Europe. They come across as always on anxiety and unable to hold a conversation. Its a good thing gyspys and niggers are fucking them.
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Eph. 6:12
Definition of untrustworthy and loose character are those that don't believe in God.

Indeed that's pretty much the experience for travelers visiting new countries, you stay at a hostel and meet other travelers. However in Vienna I stayed with locals, hung out with them and met their friends (they were all the artistic type very chill) and some visited me in Uruguay later. What I meant is that I only stayed 4 days in Vienna so I had no time to see how things work locally and how people interact with each other in every day life (imo you need at least 1 month to realize how it is to live in one city).

I got reminded of this Irish dude.
"Dutch people are friendly, but very hard to befriend. In other countries like Spain, Italy, Brazil I make friends easier."
-"Nederland is dus misschien een beetje een afstandelijk volk."
"Ja." *laughs*

We are also just that, but above that also introverted unlike the extroverted Dutchman.
Interestingly. This Irish man's accent when speaking is terrible and he struggled conversing at first, until the interview progressed then he loosened up his tongue and his language became more conversational. He did make some cuts in the video, though. Perhaps that how Melki seemed in Austria? His German was exhaustively rusty to Austrians they might have thought 'goodbye, no time for your broken German'. That's a frustrating paradox. In order to improve you need immersion and use the language actively, but it's certainly an upstream battle and certainly feel very unrewarding.
I also feel like that in France, though.I also remember a Brit wishing they had a similar attitude of ridiculing the broken English of foreigners like the French had and that Anglos are far too tolerant here.

Haha, noooo, I could already speak German when I first came to Austria, but my knowledge was too basic, in spite of my German surname. I hadn't that problem in a country like Norway, and yet, my accent was awful. Austrians are by nature more conservative and xenophobic than Norwegians or Dutch.
With that being said, I only talked about the emerged part of the iceberg: like for all peoples in the world, most of the Austrians were nice and friendly with me. And French people are usually respected. Xenophobia is directed at Turks and Central/Eastern Europeans (with the notable exception of Hungarians, quite appreciated due to historical reasons).
You must be an entertaining guy in real life. You seem to dislike the three quarters of the world. Why do you always overgeneralize? And why the Hell so much hatred?
