The event started later as announced, but this is typical in Austria. Not very often the Austrian comes in due time to an appoitment, but if he/she comes in due time and you are one minute late, he/she is not happy and you will feel the cold approach behing the friendly commercial smile ...."Let's be relaxed .... we, not you!" So much confidence ..... I wonder where is coming from ........

After all the official speeches, we could start the walk through the strong rainy night - it was about 21:30.

We were all representatives from different hotels in the area of Zell am See-Kaprun an were invited to see the light show in order to send the tourists here, of course. It is about seeing, understanding, feeling and get the convinction it is worth to recommend it. It is exactly the concept I missed in my 4 years of working in a travel agency years ago, back into my life in Bucharest! I was the "expert" for selling Austrian destinations and never being in that country! And now I live exactly in those places which I used to have to sell ...... life!

There are over 130.000 tourists every summer visiting this spectacular gorge.

We were expected with plenty of food and drinks, delicious and very simple and well organied, as usual. I knew anybody and anybody spoke to me, just some usual smiles which I never was able to really understood, as I miss the esence of it.

No music, what I like. People have the chance to talk to each other.
