Visiting Camp Nou

No trip to Barcelona is complete without visting Camp Nou. At some point of your life you have to visit Camp Nou, especially as a soccer fan.
The Camp Nou stadium in Barcelona is the biggest soccer stadium in Europe and has a capacity of about 100.000 people. From the outside the stadium does not look as big as it actually is.

Are people addicted to their mobile devices?

Nowadays, when you take the bus or walk around the city, you’ll quickly notice that a lot of people are running around staring at their phones not paying attention what’s happening around them. Especially adolescents constantly use their phones. To be honest, I’m probably a prime example of this group.

But thinking about it now, she’s totally right. Continue reading Are people addicted to their mobile devices?

Refugees in Austria

I think all of you have heard about the current refugee crisis in Austria that started in 2014. It is a hot topic in Austria but also in other European countries and there are a lot of different opinions about this issue.

What is it like being a refugee?
Most refugees flee from war-torn countries where there are no proper health systems, no education and destroyed infrastructure. Furthermore, most of these people are very poor and want a future for themselves and their children. They decide to flee and often experience horrible things on their way to the European countries. For example, a lot of them have seen people drowning or have lost one of their loved ones. When they finally cross the Austrian border most of them are traumatized by their experiences.
