Sarah: Austria is, I worked for a language school where you go to a normal school in Austria for one week, and you take one particular year group and you teach them English for that one week, and then you move onto another school the next week so you're moving around every week, which is good because you get to go to Vienna and Insbruck, and you're constantly moving around the country, um, so it's an interesting lifestyle.
Todd: What's Vienna like?
Sarah: Ah, great. I like Vienna. It's very, very easy to get around. Um, very friendly place. The transition1 from England to Austria is very, a very easy one, and there's a lot to do in Vienna. Quite similar to London in that way.
