Week 4 Prework

Just one week and we will be on our way! Through this week's prework, we worked with our group teams to design a powerpoint for the cities we were assigned. During the research process, we all got to take a deeper look into each category for our trip. We researched Vienna's attractions, demographics, and odd facts. Vienna has a lot to offer, especially with the amount of memorials and cathedrals to visit. The most exciting part of Vienna will be the sight seeing. After putting the powerpoint together and finding pictures to include, it's going to be a sensory overload! The buildings look magnificient. During the day, we will be able to see the beautiful architecture and details, but at night, we will see the entire city lit up.

Out of all of the attractions Vienna has to offer, the most interesting one is the Walking Tour of Jewish Vienna. There are numerous memorials in memory of Holocaust victims, facts, and gardens set throughout the city. The spot where the annexation speech Adolf Hitler presented is one of the attractions on the list. After reading the reviews on the tour from numerous tourists, it leaves you with chills. The next attraction that has got us all jumping is the Ferris Wheel in the city. The largest Ferris Wheel will have us drooling at the top being able to see the city from a different view. I can only imagine how it will look at night! After researching the ride more, I found that the Ferris Wheel has cages instead of seats to keep us in, which was comforting! We can't wait to see the other powerpoints and gear up for our trip!
