Our host, Michel, considers himself a bit of a party animal and promised to show us a good time in Salzburg while we were there. We were more than happy to hear that, but curious as well. I mean we kind of thought of Salzburg as a quiet city, not to mention it was a Wednesday... But hey, why not go for it right? After dinner with our new Pakistani friends, we headed onto the bus (which, it seems in Austria isn't really monitored much, as we have been essentially hopping on and off as we please both in Salzburg and Vienna) and into town to a club called Republic. Michel told us this was basically an end of the year bash for all of the students in Salzburg, which made us excited for the possibilities of what it might be like.
Holy Salzburg were we impressed.
Easily a solid thousand students showed up ready to dance their faces off, which seems to be a typical symptom of a student who has just finished their final exams. HA! The club had a pair of DJs, one older guy and one young guy (who was way better), who took turns playing different mash ups of popular music for a huge crowd of crazy college kids.
Here are a couple pictures of the club, Michel is the blond guy in the group photo. Such a crazy, random, and totally unexpected experience all around for Salzburg. I guess that's what can happen when you couch surf!
Our next stop is Hallstatt, a tiny little town famous for it's terraced buildings that is situated between the Alps about an hour south of Salzburg. There is actually a replica of the entire city in China!
