Today is Day 1 of 2 for the Orientation Workshop at the VIC center (UN Headquarters) The buildings are structured very differently than what one expectes and the only somewhat similarity I can describe it to is the Evans Building at SHSU but 100x bigger & more complex. 😳😉🏢🏰 Did have trouble trying to figure out where the room was located at. As stated on the screen similar to the airport it said C4 which is what building & floor I was on but turns out it's located on the 7th floor. It's okay, because I wasn't the only one lost & when I asked for help, the employee wasn't sure either! 😂 Had a great day getting to know the diverse group of people in the workshop. Met people from Egypt, Sweden, Dominican Republic, Ireland, Austria, Nigeria, England, etc!!! Enjoyed the whole session, learned so much about all the divisions at the UN & the structure. After completing the day I headed to my neighborhood &I decided to give one of our local Cafe/Bar a try! I know it's been a week but I haven't had a chance to try their Viennese cuisine.  I asked to be given what would be a traditional plate & drink to have. She gave me the name but I'm not sure how to spell it😭 Well regardless she responded that it was a sausage with a Viennese bread & people normally got beer. I'm  really making an effort to try new things but I just couldn't get the beer, so I got the next thing she offered. A berry vodka drink that's popular here. It was really good & I'm happy I gave that a shot! It's been a bit cold & rainy here so I decided to head home instead of venturing out some more. I got a sweet suprise upon arriving, turns out my Lanlord changes my towels/bedding every week!!   🙌🙌😍👏😂😜👸 She's really the best! Always gives me advice &  I really appreciate that. Now I'm off to get started on my Victomology homework & say Goodnight!
