I have a new hairstyle! I am very dark brown now. It's the "Euro Look," so I tried to fit in. :) The instructions to the hair dye were all in German, so I got Srdjan to translate them. When I went down to find him, I said that I was dying my hair. Innocently and in that same Serbian way, he said "But Kentucky, why do you want to kill your hair?" hahaha. Oh, Europeans.

Okay, so something really wierd happened today! Amber, me, and Birgit (a native to Vienna) were on our way to WU to register and get our student IDs made before going to the shopping street. I had to buy a new towel, cereal bowl, cup, and spoon. Cereal is a MUST for me, so I was feeling deprived.

At one of the stops while we were on the subway, a group of 4 or 5 of the scariest looking people that I've ever seen got on our car. They looked like gothic kids gone bad, for real! They all had crazy dreadlocks on parts of their heads, and then parts above their ears were shaved. To top off that remarkable hairstyle, their locks were dyed in various colors... such as LIME GREEN! Now what would Stacey and Clinton from What Not To Wear say about that?!? Each one of these crazies was also accompanied by a rather large, scruffy, and vicious-looking dog. 5 scary people.... 5 even scarier dogs. We three girls felt a little intimidated, but we did our best not to be noticed. I was wearing white and pink, Amber is blonde, and Birgit is 5' 10..... that was NOT going to be easy!

So we hurried off when the subway came to our stop, but our lovely friends just-so-happened to get off at that very stop, too. Maybe they were shopping for cereal bowls.... or machine guns.... I can't be sure. We were riding the escalator up to the top, and one of them turned around and goes, "HEY AMERICANS!" I looked around, hoping to find somebody wearing a cowboy hat, an American flag shirt, and spurs that stood out more than me, but nobody was there. I thought to myself.... I think they might be talking to us. Amber was closest to them, and just looked at me. Then the craziest-looking one of all yelled, "DO YOU LIKE GEORGE BUSH???" This is one of those 'honey, do I look fat in these pants' questions. We weren't about to start singing the praises of democracy right there, so Amber said shakily, "um... not really....?" Scary #2 then looked at all of us and said, "Yeah.... I hate him!" I think that experience just took about 15 years off of my life..... I wanted my mommy!

So.... interesting day so far! :) Let's see what the night has to offer. Amber and I are currently in the process of planning a 2-day trip to Saltzburg for the weekend. Then, Alyssa, Amber, me, and whoever else is interested, are going to be going to Milan/Florence in October! Yay!
