Had no work in office due to Thanks Giving day in US. I was almost bored to death with nothing to do, So did some Audits for my team. Latter in the day had an online chat with Celina, She wasn't feeling well because of office politics... I felt bad for her. She's a nice girl and doesn't deserve any of this. I hope her life turns around for good. I'd love to see her smile. She looks good when smiles.
I was going through my blog and realized that It's been almost six months since I've had a crush on her and still haven't told her... Man that sucks. Okey no more about her... I've also decided to improve my general knowledge (Again a conscious decision to do something new). So I've decided that I'll read about one country a day on Wikipedia and learn about it. Today I read about Austria.
Key facts about Austria1) It located in the central Europe and is the 12th richest country in the world (as per GDP) with a very high standard of living. Main language spoken there is German. It's a democratic country with president as the head of the state. 'Euro' is the the national currency.
2) It has 9 states and has an army of approx 45,000. It's mandate (with very few exception) for the males above 18 to serve at least 6 months in Army followed by an eight year reserve obligation.
3) All the citizens above 16 can vote unlike here in India where the voting rights are only after 18.
4) "in all future times Austria will not join any military alliances and will not permit the establishment of any foreign military bases on her territory". Since then, Austria has shaped its foreign policy on the basis of neutrality.
5) Vienna is the capital and the biggest city in Austria. Tourism is one of the most important source of income for the country. Climate in Austria is mostly on the cooler side, courtesy to high altitude and mountain region and the Alps.
