Bag and Weigh at the Spar

I spent 6 weeks studying opera in Graz, Austria.   The highlight of every day was navigating around a city where few spoke English and I spoke little German.  I believe this is called cultural immersion.  Sometimes it feels like you're drowning and sometimes you get a sandwich and a beer when you just wanted a beer.  I still dream about the streetcar automated stop system saying my stop, in German.
