Week 3

This week went by quickly. Not until the weekend was it nice weather. Oh and what perfect timing as Friday-Sunday was the 16th annual Vegan Mania Festival which took place on Mariahilfer Street (Vienna). Taking the opportunity to spend my time there, I was in search to network with fellow transportation enthusiasts. I did not find what I initially sought after, but I did meet animal rights enthusiasts, food conservationists, and ocean preservationists. It was definitely a beautiful experience with live entertainment. Almost everyone speaks English so communication is hardly ever a problem. Austria is a central location for sustainable entrepreneurs. People are eco friendly, and have the means to pay for higher quality and more sustainable products. The festival offered an array of bio products and foods that attracted a very large crowd all weekend. Austrians appear to love to be outside at any opportunity when the sun is out. Especially this year, after having an especially long winter I think everyone was outside.
