A Trip to Graz, Austria

I just back from 4 days trip in Leitring/Steiermark, Austria after taking part on a seminar “Alternative Technology and Renewable Resources for a sustainable Development” from 25.02.2009 to 28.02.2009. It was so informative seminar about how to use the limited resources in changing world. That seminar was organized by Afro-Asian Institute Graz Afro-Asian Institute Salzburg, Afro- Asian Institute Vienna, Austrian Latin America Institute. OeAD-GmbH and Austrian Association for the Middle East. Scholar from more than 28 countries took part in that conference. We visited the Graz city on the second last day of our conference. Graz is the capital city of Steiermark and second biggest city in Austria. It was the very important city in 19th century for the trade. The representative of the city council gave us reception party and AAI Graz also gave party at in the evening. I was so happy that because I met lots of scholars around the world. I gained lots of knowledge specially about Africa.

    Haha, to tell the truth, it is the first time that i can meet so many africans, and to know sth of this continent directly from its people. Actually, so many difference from the media.
    Also, u are the first Nepal people i have even seen, with so fluent english and so enthusiastic in group work. So nice to work and discuss with u.
    Hope we can have more chance to cooperate in the future!
