By Teresa Kao Sunday started out with a little surprise: the Austrian version of Daylight Saving Time! It probably wasn’t bothersome for most people because all the stores and many of the restaurants are closed on Sunday. I assume other sorts of businesses like banks are, too.

My favorite aunt (mother to my favorite cousin and grandmother to my favorite 2 year old) returns to Salzburg this week. She elected to take the trip to revisit a place she called home during a college study abroad program some 44years ago. She was a 19 year old girl taking her first trip on [...]
