Austria is a country in Alps (some mountains) ; it is sometimes mixed up with Germany, which is a neighbor, or Australia, which is far from being a neighbor; Austrians tend to get very angry about both mistakes. Austrians will always stress the mountains and the music, when being asked about their country.

In the east of the country they coate meat in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs. After frying it they call it Schnitzel and truely eat it.

Some Legends say that a writer called Douglas Adams once strayed in Innsbruck (a city in the west of A.) where he got drunk and was inspired to write a great book.

I havn't found any kangaroos yet.
